[Kurtofan]

That was an epic drinking stop.

The crash was more heartbreaking.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

Is that Putin in the lead?

 

[Kurtofan]

Once again Diniz is denied olympic glory :-(

 

[HoodWinked]

[nny]

(Volleyball - Bronze medal match)

First set Japan!

 

[Oxx]

Wait, what? I was working under the assumption that Tom Daley was Le Poop.

Still, fourth in the semi isn't anything yet.

 

[Diprosalic]

why are the chinese good at funny walking?

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

(Volleyball - Bronze medal match)

First set Japan!

Time to fight

 

[nny]

Time to fight

Japan having a killer start to the second set!

 

[Kurtofan]

why are the chinese good at funny walking?

Si Tianfeng only won the Asian games previously, Europeans and especially Russians are the bests.

Central Americans are pretty good too

Asians are not bad though.

 

[Good Job Bob]

(Volleyball - Bronze medal match)

First set Japan!

Didn't even know it started!

 

[John Dunbar]

if you have to be warned three times by different judges before you're disqualified, can you just sprint the end if you don't have any warnings?

 

[Kurtofan]

No in the last 100m if you do something like that you'll get disqualified automatically.

 

[HoodWinked]

this jamacan guy is doing some capoeira shit

 

[Kikujiro]

why are the chinese good at funny walking?

They hired an Italian coach who trained the gold medalist of Beijing 2008 50km race walk.

 

[Atrophis]

Afternoon gaf. Heading down to London to watch the taekwondo finals tonight

Saw some of the prelim fights this morning, looks like the heavyweights are going to put on a good show.

It's not really working, the Russian dude is way in front.

Mountain Biking coming up!

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Japan having a killer start to the second set!

Lol yeah

Time to fight harder

 

[John Dunbar]

they did get gold and bronze for men's 20km.

 

[LTWheels]

Mountain Biking coming up!

Love the Brit girl's explanation for getting into mountain biking.

 

[kitch9]

Yeah we're not one of the big shot, big boxing nations participate more financially so they get a better treatment.



I watched enough in Beijing and London to see that it's rigged, Vastine got robbed twice.

Lol... Okaaaayyyyy!

 

[nny]

Lol yeah

Time to fight harder

Korea's closer now!

Korea's Kim (#10) just scored her 200th point in the Olympics!

 

[Kurtofan]

Lol... Okaaaayyyyy!

Yeah cover your head in the sand

Even the Ukrainian fighter was surprised to win that match.

And that's just for Vastine, a simple google search will bring you dozens of suspicious boxing matches for these Olympics alone.

 

[Randdalf]

How do you even do the race walk wiggle walk?

 

[Good Job Bob]

Japan also takes the second set.

(Volleyball)

 

[nny]

(Volleyball - Bronze medal match)

Japan gets the second set!

 

[Kikujiro]

I think gold and bronze in the 20km is already good enough for them.

Korea started the set with an awful 0-5, now they are 24-24. Great set!

Edit: Damn my feed is way behind:lol

 

[nny]

A small crash of Mountain Bike...on Triple Trouble? With that name it's no wonder, really.

Edit: Damn my feed is way behind:lol

I was talking about this particular race though.

Edit: Si gets the bronze here, but I don't think you can talk of Chinese race walking domination.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

(Volleyball - Bronze medal match)

Japan gets the second set!

Glad they fought hard even though they lost the 2nd set!

Will see if they can dig deeper to pull off a miracle

Frenchmen at these Olympics have been poor losers. Just look at their cycling comments.

 

[krYlon]

Oh man there is a "leap of faith" in the mountain biking.
That doesn't sound good.

 

[Kurtofan]

Frenchmen at these Olympics have been poor losers. Just look at their cycling comments.

Shut up it's not just about the French, there's also other fixed matches that concerned other nationalities.
And Vastine was robbed twice, everyone agree on that, not just those annoying french people.

Everybody complained about the boxing don't be dense.

Also the only serious complaint about cycling was the fake false start of the team sprint.

Edit: Also poor losers... like when everyone cried about Pendleton finishing second? or when the British women team sprint was DQ'd?

 

[Juicy Bob]

OK. This mountain biking course is awesome.

 

[Nolan.]

Mountain biking is so good, I want to do this! it reminds me of Sega extreme sports

 

[nny]

(Volleyball)

Amazing point, from both sides!

Do the French always bring out their sour grapes when something doesn't go their way?

Its all a conspiracy against the French lemme tell ya.... Even a French company has a sneaky deal to only sell GB magic wheels for their cyclists, they must be blackmailing them somehow!

 

[nny]

Japan gets the bronze! I can't help but feel that Kim #10 from Korea deserved a medal, though.

No French there, can you comment on that?

Your hatred of the French really makes you look stupid.

Americans saying Chinese swimmers dope, must be the French sour grapes too right?

Or the British saying the whole world is trying to shaft them, must be the French as well.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Congrats Japan! Good show!

Kim #10 still awesome!

 

[Regulus Tera]

Let's do this.
