I thought Beth was going for gold why are they so elated that she got a bronze?

Because she's 27 and has never won an Olympic medal despite clearly being one of the best in the world for about a decade.

 

[numble]

There is an elimination race in the Velodrome in 3 hours.

 

[Nolan.]

Because she botched the landing.

Oh, well well done I guess could have been worse

 

[Good Job Bob]

Komova is still heartbroken.

 

[Wes]

She still got an Olympic medal, the one thing she was missing.

 

[danwarb]

Nicola Adams looked pretty handy in the boxing for GB.

 

[Koodo]

Gabby totally unfazed by placing eighth. Will probably return to the village to caress her All-Around Gold.

 

[John Dunbar]

Douglas' difficulty was only 6.3, so i guess she had very little chance to medal anyway.

 

[PaulLFC]

Yes Beth!!

 

[Pkaz01]

the cameras really like getting close to their faces or what

 

[mclem]

Wooo, Japan beat China at women's hockey, which means GB are definitely through!

 

[navanman]

Man, that Cuban wrestler is absolutely massive.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Gabby totally unfazed by placing eighth. Will probably return to the village to caress her All-Around Gold.

I don't think she honestly expected a medal here.

 

[broadwayrock]

Synchronised Swimming time!

 

[killer_clank]

She still got an Olympic medal, the one thing she was missing.

yeah I'm pretty sure this was the only thing keeping her going was winning a medal - I don't think she cared that much which one.

what could have been if she made that landing though...

 

[Pandemic]

Lovely. Mustafina won't be dismissing a coach this time.

Nice ass, hahah..

 

[mclem]

Gabby totally unfazed by placing eighth. Will probably return to the village to caress her All-Around Gold.

I thought that was a euphemism for a moment.

Showjumping going okay for GB for now, I think we're behind overall still but leading on this day. Kinda hard to judge, though.

 

[Lyonaz]

I must say synchronised swimming is kinda awesome.

 

[Brazil]

First medal in Boxing for Brazil in 40 years! Hell yeah haha!

 

[Sky Chief]

Gabby totally unfazed by placing eighth. Will probably return to the village to caress her All-Around Gold.

...and her team Gold

 

[krYlon]

There is an elimination race in the Velodrome in 3 hours.

Is that for the Women's Omnium then?

Is there not a main elimination race? Or was that one of the cycling events taken out?

 

[mclem]

I wonder if she could be inspired by that 30+ year old this Olympics, though. You could go to Rio, Beth! Think about it!

 

[numble]

Women's Omnium. I don't think there's a main elimination race.

 

[Miles X]

Well done Beth, finally got your Olympic medal

 

[Steelrain]

C'mon. The commenator on BBC needs to stop that shit on synchronized swimming.

 

[nny]

105Kg Weightlifters starting.

 

[John Dunbar]

I don't know anything about table tennis, but am I wrong in my assessment that Ma Long, the guy who didn't get to play singles and is only playing on China's team, is actually the best of the Chinese players?

 

[navanman]

105Kg Weightlifters starting.

Thanks

 

[Steelrain]

Kazakstahn swimmers looking like Gaga.

 

[nny]

That guy lifted 150 Kg like it was nothing. :O

 

[Sealda]

Aliya barely smiling, have this weird smugness expression.


and tilts her head really weird...wtf

 

[Koodo]

I see where your mind is wandering.

Kazakstahn swimmers looking like Gaga.

[krYlon]

Women's Omnium. I don't think there's a main elimination race.

Shame. They should have a race at the end of the track cycling where all the previous medallists go into one elimination race.

 

[Kurtofan]

France was robbed by Egypt in wrestling.

 

[mclem]

Someone last night was asking for a gif of Usain Bolt DJing. It's not quite what you asked for, but will *this* do?

(Just putting the final touches to the album from last night now)


Edit: As an addendum to that, I note a lot of people in orange behind the start. Would that include the heroic dutch judoka?

[Koodo]

Men's vault final about to start.

Men's vault final about to start.

Welp, screw swimming.

 

[killer_clank]

the fences in equestrian are very nice.

 

[Lonestar]

Piping in "Dare" by Gorillaz, in weightlifting :lol

 

[pappe]

Mustafina is beautiful.

 

[Diprosalic]

usa will not win a horse medal today.

 

[D_prOdigy]

I don't know why I watch us in the showjumping. I'm sure it decreases my life expectancy by about six months.

 

[Koodo]

Sam Mikulak is so cute. *.*

 

[Psychotext]

I'd love to know why the BBC have stopped commentating the weightlifting. Really annoying.

 

[Lonestar]

Something happened in weightlifting. I think they're saying that since he was shaking, he wasn't locked in. Horsepoop!

 

[Zaph]

Get in there Kristian

 

[navanman]

I'd love to know why the BBC have stopped commentating the weightlifting. Really annoying.

The same team are just finishing up on the wrestling. Hopefully they can get to the commentary of this 105kg class soon.
That Ukraine lifter looks pretty good.

Its not horsepoop! You have to be in control of the weight. By shuffling as the Algerian was you are not in control.
