Congrats to all in Mexico. Except you pena nieto. Tu chingas a tu madre

What? Is thanks to EPN that the players won this medal!!!

 

[Jean Valjean]

Enhorabuena Mexico, sí se pudo ganar a los brasileños.

Brazil losing today is a fiasco like USA basket team losing against Spain tomorrow.

Lol, not even close

 

[santi_yo]

People calling me salty over Mexico's win haven't been reading this thread

Also we beat Brazil in 1984 to get the Olympic gold medal, and we beat them in the WC final in 1998

Too entrenched in the past, mon ami

We're all so happy France won a few football tournaments in the 20th century.

 

[Majine]

So sad that it's almost over ;( 4 more years. Oh well, there's the winter olympics but it's not the same thing...

 

[Guevara]

I just realized I've never heard Mexico's national anthem before today.

 

[weekend_warrior]

LOL Telemundo guy.

There's a winter olympics?

 

[Brazil]

There's a winter olympics?

Not sure if serious.

Given our performance this year, I'm almost happy it's over.

Bring on the Paralympics, where we can actually do shit.

What's winter? Is that when they show the mythical white cold substance on tv?

 

[Alebrije]

MEXICO DEFEATS BRASIL !!!!!!

 

[Gamecocks625]

Good to see Mexico get the gold. Happy for those guys.

neymar overrated official. glory to mexico, the only team in north america who plays good football.

diego reyes and peralta ye done me proud.

You guys have sucked for the past 10 years. Good to see you are now a better team again...but not the only one.

 

[Kurtofan]

Enough football, Anne Caroline Graffe is in Taekwondo final woot!!!

 

[krishian]

I love how ridiculously formal requesting a video replay is in TKD, so awesome.

 

[Canis lupus]

Yes Bahri Tanrikulu in semi finals in taekwondo!

 

[santi_yo]

Supermarket humor, via twitter:

 

[Linius]

Saw that one too :lol

 

[Raist]

Shit that serbian girl is good. Hope Graffe will manage to deal with her.

the modern pentathlon is a strange collection of events.

pistol shooting
fencing
200m freestyle swimming
show jumping
3km cross-country run

 

[Zeroth]

Yes he should. Mano and him both suck and should never return to be the head of our team.

Mano won't get kicked. There was a big investment, media-wise, to promote him for both the Olympics and the World Cup. CBF is not crazy enough to look for a coach 2 years before the World Cup in Brazil, they need Mano right now.

That said,Brazil still have a chance to get the Gold medal. Just put the CBF president close to the medals and it's game.

Yeah quite varied skill set, should also add wrestling and gymnastic

 

[Linius]

Bring on the hockey, my body is ready.

needs starcraft 2 and MARHVEL

 

[Nolan.]

I think I enjoy the race walk event for all the wrong reasons it's so entertaining

 

[Kurtofan]

There's the 20 km race walking women going on right now.

Never heard of this before. A great skill required for this.

With Russians looking to dominate once again, why are they so good at this (tbh Russia is good at most things I guess)

The history about this competition is interesting. Aparently, it's based around the basic skills a soldier needs.

 

[Linius]

Is it weird that I keep thinking about the Ministry of Silly Walks when seeing race walking?

This year, for the first time, all events are on a single day, and the running and shooting have been combined in a single, biathlon-like event, with laser guns.

True.


Anyway... Guardiola or bust!

Did it involve storm trooper suits as well?

 

[Fergie]

Spain vs SK handball match be tense.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

They don't even carry the guns during the running, they are lying ready at the shooting stand.

 

[Brazil]

This Taekwondo fight is amazing.

Edit: Mali NOOOO

 

[LuuKyK]

Is any brazilian watching Sportv now? WTH is that creepy Giba holography there? hahaha

He was just standing there. wtf

 

[Linius]

At Biathlon they at least cary the heavy guns on their back.

The basic needs of a soldier in the 19th Century though.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

This Taekwondo fight is amazing.

Yup. It was epic.

 

[george_us]

This chick with the green ball.

Holy crap.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Watching the ball routines in rhythmic gymnastics is... mesmerizing... and mind-boggling.

 

[Lonestar]

There's the 20 km race walking women going on right now.

There's the crazy race I remembered. What are the rules to avoid "jogging/running?"

The walking motion reminds me of Christian Bale's dance.gif from American Psyhco.

 

[bjaelke]

Race walking is extremely close and somewhat interesting.

 

[Fergie]

Spain missed 2 penalties in handball, lol, could have ended the match.

 

[Nolan.]

Tense climax to the race walk

 

[bjaelke]

Tense climax to the race walk

She just walked straight past the other girl. woooosh.

 

[Fergie]

Holy shit tied now. Korea took their penalty chance.

 

[baekshi]

the handball game... damn ..
