Jade Jones coming up in the Taekwondo QF.

There is a 4th official who determines how much time is to be added on at the end of the halves and will instruct the ref on the amount. In general though, if there are no major stoppages you can expect to see 1 minute of extra time in the first half and 3 minutes in the second. Also worth noting, the ref is free to use discretion as to when the game ends, they can go beyond the allotted extra time if they wish (for example, often if there is a goalscoring opportunity like a corner or a freekick they will allow it to be taken before finishing)

But the clock never stops during play right?

 

[Steelrain]

USA needs to rise again.

 

[Big-E]

Canada guaranteed at least a silver in 55 kg woman's wrestling.

 

[Alebrije]

But the clock never stops during play right?

Nop.


I fact , no matter if the power supply goes off in a night match for 5-20 minutes the clock still keeps runing, if the lighst return they just add the time loosed at the end of the 45 minutes.

Nope, it doesn't.

Silver or Gold for Canada in Women's 55kg Freestyle.

I don't really understand BMX. It seems entirely luck based weather you crash at the first corner or not.

 

[Kurtofan]

Daudet fuck yeah now what rest of the world.

 

[Steelrain]

Daudet fuck yeah now what rest of the world.

what did you win?

 

[zedge]

Canada guaranteed at least a silver in 55 kg woman's wrestling.

Nice!

 

[Kurtofan]

what did you win?

A BMX race.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Other than the crashing the BMX is boring. It's all over by the first corner and gate position is too important.

 

[sohois]

Are you sure? i thought it was the ref who instructed the 4th offical. Before the mics, you could see the ref signal the amount of time to the 4th official with his fingers.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the ref. Unless there has been a change.

I wasn't sure, just assumed the 4th official did it, I'll take your word for it that it's the ref.

 

[kottila]

and the first lane seems to be the best and awarded to the heat winners (?). so if you're lucky and drawn into the first lane for the first race you have a big advantage

 

[Atrophis]

Seems like the race is generally over by the first corner.

[BrokenSymmetry]

Jade "Headhunter" Jones up 3-1 after the first round.

 

[Linius]

Daudet fuck yeah now what rest of the world.

He had a great run, pushing it till the last inch.

Anyways, we have Van Gendt and Van der Biezen. No what France?

 

[krYlon]

The 4th official is just there to be abused by the coaches.

The skill to get through the rollers with speed is pretty nice.

Bringing vans to a BMX race is cheating.

 

[mclem]

Apparently our Aristos are doing well in the horse stuff today, we have first place with three riders to come, and two of them are British. There is a real chance of a clean sweep according to this dude at work. He says GB gold, silver and bronze is not out of the question.

It's partially dependent on the performance of the Netherlands rider up next, though, and, well, they're going this late because they're *good*!

Edit: Our second rider went third, that means the clean sweep is out.

 

[Big-E]

The Canadian wrestler has to fight the 2 time defending Olympic Champion so she will be in tough.

 

[kottila]

cyclocross, which is almost bmx with road bikes in the mud, is a much more interesting sport: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWGnM_1ViZA

this race is amazing, falls everywhere, mud, spectators falling into the track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez3lJcrZtIA

Comparing cyclocross to BMX is kind of silly. Totally different sports

 

[Raist]

400m is like endurance running for them

 

[Steelrain]

I know, but they all crash alot But I'd like them to get rid of some track events (way more medals than any other cycling event) and put in cyclocross and maybe a climbing road race

 

[Forceatowulf]

You like our Canadian diver eh?

Fuck to the hell yes, sir.

yes, oh yes.

 

[fuenf]

i dont get dressage, they might as well draw straws for the medals. looks all the same too me, the commentators criticise things here and there but their comments dont correspond to the judges score either. seems like no one actually has a clue whats going on.

 

[Oxx]

I wish Sunhi Legend watched the Olympics. These BMX crashes sound like they would make for good GIFs.

The Dutch commentator says pretty accurate stuff. Keeps on talking about making half turns and bla bla. I don't really see it, but that commentator is jizzing his pants

EDIT

Dutch commentator predicts this run will be the highest score so far. Let's see...

 

[elty]

What is interesting today? I know woman volleyball and football only.

And anyone think regular volleyball is much more exciting than beach one? The beach one scores too easily.

Pretty much. They're like a verbal pinata

 

[Psychotext]

Dutch commentator is right. We're going for gold.
