I like Oscar but I don't understand how they govern that etc in terms of deciding whether it can be an advantage or not

You can determine its compatibility with its biological counterpart a variety of ways.

Double amputee qualified in the 400m.

He's much better than I thought. A mid 45 while cruising? He'll compete. Outside looking in on medaling, though.

Badminton second set so close...

 

[Brinbe]

Come on, Japan. Get this set.

Badminton match is crazy.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Olympic champions, badminton womens double, China!

 

[baekshi]

japan better get that one...

 

[-Eddman-]

Fucking Mexico! Best game from el Tri so far. Gio at last showing what he can do, Herrera playing like a boss and Corona, man Corona, best goalkeeper we have ever had since the golden days of San Oswaldo.

Japan is going to be tough, but there's a big chance to secure a medal. Actually glad I'm eating crow about them right now.

 

[Alebrije]

Just one more step....!!!!!

 

[Trey]

Merritt pulls up. Does the US have any other quarter mile runners?

Edit: just saw.

 

[ezrarh]

Damn, Japan gets another not-gold.

Here's a photo album of my time in London during the Olympics. But you have to start from the end and move backwards if you want to see them in the right order. It would take way too long for me to rearrange them on Photobucket.

Easiest way is that if he wins, he had too much of an advantage. When was the last time a non-doped(east german) white person won a track event?

 

[Brinbe]

Damn, China prevails!

And reading up on this Cycling point race is p. fascinating for the various strategies involved.

 

[LizardKing]

mens doubles crowd in tennis is very pro france

 

[Dance Inferno]

Oh snap USA vs. Russia in volleyball.

¿Y Jorge Campos apá?

 

[numble]

Over 1 hour of race walking? F This.

 

[AngryMoth]

Set point for the Germans in mixed doubles. edit: saved!

Phew, Robson holds a tough service game to take it to a tiebreak

I don't understand this 30km Point Race

Christophe Lemeitre is european champion I think in 100m I think

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Germany seemed to have just woken up in mixed doubles, they're putting loads of pressure on GB.

 

[mrklaw]

Those walkers are totally running. HD Slomo replays are their worst enemy

 

[Alebrije]

MEXICO VS JAPAN ? confirmed????

 

[LTWheels]

Set point for the Germans in mixed doubles. edit: saved!

Yeah, Robson has crumbled a bit.

Just read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points_race

 

[Amir0x]

Let's go USA Volleyball team!

 

[Diprosalic]

mens doubles crowd in tennis is very pro france

no wonder, they are both far better known than the bryan bros. being good in singles helps a lot.

 

[Tapiozona]

Christophe Lemeitre is european champion I think in 100m I think

Sorry, I meant worldwide track event.

GOL DE HONDURAS

I don't understand this 30km Point Race

I don't either. There are apparently 6 events so its like a pentathlon with one more event. What I don't understand is the Canadian commentators said that the person with the fewest points over the 6 events wins but people in this stage are trying to win points. Confusing.

 

[JLG-]

Oh shit Honduras

 

[numble]

Yeah, I thought one foot was supposed to be on the ground at all times.

Mens Omnium

The men's cycling Omnium at the 2012 Olympic Games in London will take place at the London Velopark on 4 and 5 August.[1]

The Omnium, a new event for the Olympics, consists of six events:

Flying lap: a race against the clock;
Points race: 30 km (18.6 mi) for men, 20 km (12.4 mi) for women, riders score points for sprints which occur every 10 laps during the race, and for lapping the field;
Elimination race: a bunch race with an intermediate sprint every two laps. The last rider each time is eliminated;
Individual pursuit: 4 km for men, 3 km for women, two riders start at opposite sides of the track and race against the clock;
Scratch race: a straightforward race over 16 km (9.9 mi) for men and 10 km (6.2 mi) for women. The first rider to cross the line wins;
Time trial: 1 km (0.6 mi) for men, 500m for women, each competitor rides the course aiming for the fastest time.

In each event the winner gets one point, the second placed rider gets two points, the third three points, and so on. At the end of all six events the rider with the lowest total score is the winner.[2]

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Beautiful volley though.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Sweet Honduras goal.

GOL DE HONDURAS

Ahora a aplicar la formación murcielago como contra España. ; )

 

[Mindlog]

Someone link the Honduras radio crew watching the USA/Costa Rica extra time clincher.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I need a tutorial video for this Onmi racing thing

Sorry, I meant worldwide track event.

Ha well that's another thing altogether

Kleiza is an NBA starter, he was just hurt last year. Valanciunas was the 5th pick in last years draft, many think he'll be a star. And they have other players that could play in the NBA but they're either under contract in Europe or get paid more there then they would here like Jasikevicius.

Lithuania is a very good team in the international game (which is different from the NBA game), it wasn't just an embarrassing performance by the US this is how the games have been going between them for almost a decade. If they played with NBA rules (further 3 point line and rules that allow more isolation 1 on 1 play) US would have a bigger advantage.

considering that USA took thirty three 3 pointers, I don't know how a further 3 point line would have been an advantage to us. Sure it spreads out the floor more, but our half court offense sucks anyway.
