FUCK FENCING

 

[linsivvi]

I think the rain will be an advantage to the sprinters

It will be a disadvantage to Murray though.

Federer is way less error prone when there's no wind.

 

[LanceVance]

Apparently if Yorkshire was an independent country we'd be 7th in the medals table. Fuck yeah.

It wouldn't be a game of tennis at Wimbledon without a rain delay.

 

[John Dunbar]

It wouldn't be a game of tennis at Wimbledon without a rain delay.

if it rains at the start of the match the roof is closed, so there won't be any delays. advantage, federer.

Yeah, looks like it's going to be a Wimbledon carbon-copy at this rate

I think the rain will be an advantage to the sprinters

I don't know how a slippery track can be advantageous to sprinters.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Man London looks cool, I'd love to visit sometime.

If Yorkshire were a country then it'd be bankrupt (welcome to the club!)

Like the way they frame the Marathon shots to get London landmarks in - shame about the rain.

 

[Withnail]

Murray was doing fine in the Wimbledon final until they closed the roof. I think the rougher weather conditions would be OK for Murray but ironically the closed roof makes things better for Fed.

The rain IS a London landmark

According to the BBC, it isn't going to rain until late this evening at Wimbledon.

Hopefully that's the case.

Yeah it's probably worth pointing out London is massive, so it's not necessarily raining everywhere. Obviously Fed has the advantage under the roof, but they usually always TRY to start the match with it open, even if the weather is dodgy.

I hope so. Rain is going to be the dark horse there this afternoon.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I switched over to women's volleyball. The marathon looks fun but I can't watch that for the next 2 hours.

 

[theignoramus]

womens doubles finals is go.

 

[fuenf]

JAJAJA ! This has to be the decision, 4 seconds left, leading with 4.

Wow...we won, after being behind all the time. Unbelievable.

we did? OMG i watched the first part of the fight, but turned it off when it was like 7-14

 

[Acheteedo]

According to the schedule, Murray's 5 set singles final is at 2pm, then he has to play the mixed doubles final at 4pm.

That can't be right!

the times are just estimates, obviously the mixed wont start before the singles final is finished.

 

[linsivvi]

The roof is closed, so....

I don't think the men's single final will start at 2pm. They'll start once this one is over, and I doubt this match will last long.

Team Saudi Arabia & team GB are killing it in the equestrian competition right now.

 

[Messofanego]

Man, every single Olympic sport has had controversy! Even down to some tennis player doing a celebratory dance has been spun as promoting gang violence.

 

[Setsuna]

Stupid NBC lowered (readractically muted) the crowd volume for the Ennis medal ceremony.

That was the best part of it all, hearing 80,000 strong belting out their anthem as one.

Did they lower it, or was it volume feedback?

 

[fuenf]

You can pencil in two golds for GB in dressage too.

Serena Williams supports gang warfare. Fact.

You can pencil in two golds for GB in dressage too.

Listen to the crowd! You can hear them roar "Huh? Why is that horse dancing? What's going on?"

 

[mclem]

Actually, I think Murray might take advantage of a little-known loophole, which is if you have a doubles match immediately after a singles match, you can have your doubles partner by the court and can tag her in and double-team your opponent for thirty seconds or so.

 

[numble]

What's the event(s) to watch right now?

 

[mclem]

The showjumping isn't going too bad either, although I'd just pencil in medals for that - at least for now.

 

[fuenf]

Will be epic to see GB-GAF celebrate those and things get even better, Germany are GB's biggest rivals in dressage but wont stand a chance against them.

 

[numble]

Halfway through the rainy marathon.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Team Saudi Arabia in Equestrian, eh? I may give that a shot.

I'm currently watching the team table tennis quarter finals. Surprisingly entertaining stuff.

 

[mclem]

Is anyone able to figure out the colour coding on the official site's schedule page?

The best I could do was "Blue represents water events", which works... up until you get to the bottom and see Weightlifting in blue.

[linsivvi]

Lol..broken already. Murray and Federer better get ready.

 

[Zapages]

A nail bitter win for Pakistan against South Africa in Field Hockey!!!

Can't wait to see Australia take on Great Britain later today.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

There is a key that explains it at the bottom of the page.

 

[Xun]

Lol..broken already. Murray and Federer better get ready.

Would they be on straight after if it's over quickly?

 

[linsivvi]

Would they be on straight after if it's over quickly?

I'll assume that's the case.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I don't think she's hot but she certainly is adorable.

 

[Officerrob]

I can't believe how empty it is for this women's doubles gold medal match

 

[Diprosalic]

Would they be on straight after if it's over quickly?

i don't think so.

 

[Acheteedo]

the times are just estimates, obviously the mixed wont start before the singles final is finished.

I just mean it's being set up clearly to be consecutively played, couldn't the order be more favourable to Murray? He's going to be exhausted in the second game.

 

[bjaelke]

Kenyan woman destroying the marathon field.

 

[LTWheels]

I don't think she's hot but she certainly is adorable.

Give her a couple more years. She is only 19.

Murray is insanely fit, I don't think him playing so many matches will be that detrimental - Fed is older and had to play an insanely long match so it should be about even on the fitness front.

 

[theignoramus]

the bronze medal match on the other court is better attended, lol.

East Africans broke away in the Women's Marathon. Flanagan giving chase.

Looks like they slowed down. Few runners caught up.
