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

You can really tell those two russians are on another level. The one girl with the hoolahoop was blowing my mind.

 

[Nolan.]

She just walked straight past the other girl. woooosh.

Ha the smaller woman was really trying to stop her but her legs weren't long enough really pleased for the Chinese athlete too she looked so over joyed to get the bronze

[Madridy]

What a nerve recking handball match for either side!

But awesome for being a neutral!

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Some awesome handball game, second time watching this, awesome.

I thought Korea had won it at the end, it was an awesome finish to the half.

Gold medal women's volleyball is on. USA vs. Brazil.

 

[Good Job Bob]

If that football match didn’t quite satisfy your hunger for seeing Brazilians getting their ass handed to them, the women's volleyball gold medal match has started.

 

[Brazil]

6-1 :lol

Oh God, why.

 

[Fergie]

This handball match...

 

[sgossard]

Thank you guys.

Also, it has to be said...

Brazil's Dunga was a great team, imo. People being whiny about "jogo bonito" ruined that. The Netherlands game in the WC was the very definition of bad luck (and lol Felipe Melo) he shouldn't have been booted.

Dunga's team was the most solid Brazil after 2002, I still don't understand why they didn't give him a second chance. As you say the game with the Netherlands was mostly Felipe Melo being Felipe Melo, Dunga's only fault was believing too much in him.
I think both Brazil and Argentina should try with an European coach.

 

[jl4855]

well done, mehico!

 

[Fergie]

Handball game into double overtime.

 

[Road]

Can't we just skip directly to the medal ceremony?

(Women Volleyball)

 

[Kikujiro]

Handball game has been pretty epic.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Complete and utter domination, just embarrassing for Brazil.

Lol Brazil, are you even trying?

 

[Alebrije]

Woa Brazil living a nightmare this day....

 

[Big-E]

Brazil finishing strong for Rio.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Thanks NBC for not showing the volleyball final live, and forcing me to watch it on your shitty online feed that buffers every 3 seconds.

 

[baekshi]

More overtimes for handball.

They didn't give him a second chance because he middle fingered Globo, and they were so pissed at him they pretty much did their best to blame him for the loss, and it worked. Dunga was pretty solid, but he'll never return as a coach as long things like Globo and the"Art soccer is the only style that Brazil should play" crowd exist.

 

[Psychotext]

Camera showing Arnie in the crowd for the athletics tonight.

 

[Alebrije]

Brazil finishing strong for Rio.

Not in football ; )

 

[Good Job Bob]

The Brazilians booing US servers are idiots.

 

[luso]

Men's 60kg Freestyle Gold for Azerbaijan. Russia got Silver, India&USA Bronze.

 

[Brazil]

Oh shit SPAIN!

 

[Fergie]

Spain got dat bronze in handball. Epic match.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Poor Korea, that was a fantastic match to watch.

 

[keit4]

SPAAAAIN!!!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Brazil up by 5 in the second set

 

[questionmark]

Not sure if I can handle the final at this point. Feels like that bronze final took all my energy, and Norway didn't even play. Hopefully it'll be more like the 2008 finals, with Norway cruising to an easy victory.

There should be a team pentathlon where groups of 5 players compete in games of handball, basketball, volleyball, water polo, and soccer.

That would be cool.

 

[Darth Sonik]

Cool the pentathlon run/shoot is "cross country running".

 

[MrPing1000]

I'd watch that.

Modern Pentathlon is great run for 1km, shoot a laser gun, run 1km, shoot a laser gun, run 1km, shoot a laser gun.

In the horse jumping, they got a horse at random too lol.

 

[nny]

Amazing stuff by Sheila!

 

[Won]

Never seen this run/shoot thing before, but it looks fun.

 

[Zaph]

This modern pentathlon is amazing. The history behind it just makes it even better.

Bojana deserves gold in her last professional game, sorry. And I think Norway have had enough success in women's handball over the years to let this one slip.

 

[Brazil]

All SporTV channels are fucked up right now. Why today? Ugh.

Great atmosphere here, particularly when the Turkish jumper got over on her final attempt.
