Tie break in the tennis lads.

(cycling)

I don't understand this 30km Point Race

120 laps. Every 10 laps they have a sprint. First in the sprint gets 5 points, second gets 3 points, third gets 2 points and fourth gets 1 point. If you lap the group you get 20 points. If you get lapped you lose 20 points. Highest points at the end of the race wins.

mens doubles crowd in tennis is very pro france

It's impossible to not love Tsonga

 

[-Eddman-]

¿Y Jorge Campos apá?

I don't know, maybe I'm a biased chiva, but my ranking (let's say from the last 30 years) would be:

1. Oswaldo
2. Campos
3. Corona
4. Adolfo Ríos
5. Ochoa

 

[Dance Inferno]

Wow the Russian volleyball team is fucking beastly.

 

[Brazil]

Nothing's easy.

smh

 

[Brinbe]

Oh man... if the Brazilian men go out too, that's gonna be one unhappy country.

 

[LTWheels]

Christ GB woman's hockey team are really under performing today. It's like they have no energy....Getting too busy in the Olympic Village it seems...

 

[Amir0x]

USA off to a rough start

 

[elseanio]

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

Thanks. Think I understand now. The people at the back seemed pointless at first, but I suppose if you hold off the first few sprints, you have more energy to take some later on.

 

[numble]

Suzuki is walking like a monster.

 

[Trey]

Volleyball is great.

 

[masud]

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.

It would have hurt Lithuania's shooting which is their biggest advantage against us. And being able to spead them out and exploit 1 on 1 match ups would be a huge advantage for us.

USA off to a rough start

It's still just pool play though right?

Like all track cycling it's very tactical.

Honduras playing some nice football, not digging the play acting on both sides.

Brazil were sleeping, Honduras is playing balls out.

 

[Amir0x]

I'm okay with this list.

 

[zero_suit]

LOL, Robson hit Murray.

 

[Nolan.]

In the mixed doubles it's opposites, Girl messing up for team GB and guy messing up for Germany

 

[Alebrije]

I'm okay with this list.

Ochoa is a Televisa product , there are better goalkeepers for that 5th place.

 

[Simplet]

Sorry, I meant worldwide track event.

He came up third in the 200m world championship

 

[EdibleExplosives]

You spoke too soon.

 

[Trey]

Go to break and RUS goes on a 3-0 run? Guess we didn't need to see that.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Just read a piece where Hope Solo admits takes to taking party of these olympic village 'hook ups'.

:Sad panda face:

 

[Nolan.]

Go Sabine

 

[Peru]

Noo, Robson got her serve in order and Murray choked the set.

 

[numble]

How is Suzuki doing it?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I can't believe GB lost that set, they broke them twice.

 

[Ark]

Team GB choking in the doubles..

 

[AngryMoth]

Germans take it to a deciding set. Come on GB!

 

[LTWheels]

2-1 in the hockey! 1 min left on the clock. Common GB get the equaliser.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Ochoa is a Televisa product , there are better goalkeepers for that 5th place.

He's awful at aerial balls, but I think he has a pretty nice overall game.

I would rate Conejo Pérez over him though.

 

[Amir0x]

Russia is beast moding it with the speed of their kills/serves

 

[Nolan.]

I'm conflicted I like Lisicki but GB should go through... I don't mind what happens

 

[Shameless]

Why has cycling limited the number of competitors in each event? Ridiculous when Phelps can dominate swimming in the way that he has.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Just read a piece where Hope Solo admits takes to taking party of these olympic village 'hook ups'.

:Sad panda face:

what?

 

[John Dunbar]

i'd like to see murray have another chance for gold since he will get murdered by federer in singles, but lisicki is pretty much the most likable player in the world. so torn.

 

[Kurtofan]

Walking is so goofy.

 

[Regulus Tera]

what?

Think Sodom and Gomorrah.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Russia is beast moding it with the speed of their kills/serves

Russia will choke at the end. They always choke at the end.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

The rain is pretty severe here in the midlands (England). Hopefully it'll all come down before it reaches London.

think of it this way: Lisicki just wants her medal, she'll be happy with bronze

 

[Dance Inferno]

Gat damn, Russia dominating America in men's volleyball.

 

[Amir0x]

seriously, yikes.

 

[Nolan.]

Haha I love how brave Sabine is she just attacks Murray, she doesn't care

 

[Alebrije]

Gat damn, Russia dominating America in men's volleyball.

Putin will be happy finally

 

[Ark]

Cmon Murray & Robson, stop choking!

 

[Shameless]

Why is the omnium so different for men and women?

 

[Trey]

Oh my god, that volley.

It's starting with Ledecky now

In a sport where competitors spend years trying to shave fractions of seconds off their personal best (PB) times, Ledecky has been hacking off large chunks, more than 11 seconds this month.

At the U.S. Olympic Trials earlier this month, Ledecky carved more than five seconds off her PB to make the team for London. She reduced it by more than another five seconds on Friday to win the Olympic gold.

Ye denied any wrongdoing and swimming's world governing body backed her, saying she passed all her drug tests. The Chinese said their accusers were racist and would never point the finger at their own.

Then along came Ledecky. Within moments of her win, Ledecky's Wikipedia entry had been vandalised. At her post-race conference, the inevitable inquisition began.

"It's totally false," she replied when asked if she had doped.
