Do they have platinum metals yet? Do you have to beat citizens of another planet to get one?

We're still waiting on Curiosity for that.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Maybe check the population, not really sure we qualify as huge.

Oh man, I thought Canada had a way larger population, the more you know.

 

[Kikujiro]

Why some of you guys are surprised that the Chinese diver cried after winning a silver medal? Lots of athletes cry when they "only" win a silver medal.

 

[SuperBonk]

Congrats to France for Silver and first medal in basketball. Pretty impressive showing considering it was the 2nd time they qualified and they went undefeated until the finals.

[everyday math]

They should cry. They did absolutely nothing on the Mexican winner. Standing around with their hands in their pockets.

Wow she's awesome.

 

[Jamie OD]

Thomas Daley does look like a future TV personality.

He'll have a guaranteed seat on A Question Of Sport for the rest of his life.

 

[clemenx]

Holy shit the Italian tied :OOO

 

[Kazerei]

I wanna know why Austria haven't gotten a single medal.

Very small population (~8.5 mil) and focus on winter sports.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Woooooooow. This TKD match is fantastic.

 

[Koodo]

Psh, this hasn't got shit on Epke Zonderland's high bar routine.

I SHAN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO. But yes, that was amazing as well:

 

[questionmark]

No snow in London atm.

They (you?) do not play any summer sports at all?

 

[lazybones18]

FAO GAF-GIF'ERS: The Mo/Bolt magic moment is back up on the BBC Olympic player. You know what to do.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Wow that's her?

I could legally dick her down in the UK

 

[perfectchaos007]

Spoiler

Polar Bears aren't allowed to compete

Sorry dude, but you'd still be bound by federal law even in the UK.

I suppose you could watch him dick her?

 

[clemenx]

Just one extra round? :/ I know it's extremely demanding but doesn't feel right

Feel bad for Obame.

 

[Antiochus]

The stalling tactics of taekwondo makes even World Cup actors blush

Never thought this eminent martial arts could be so pathetic at these moments.

No diving medal for Italy?

 

[Good Job Bob]

Chariots of Fire during the medal ceremony is just perfect, no way Rio can top it.

 

[luso]

TKD Gold for Italy +80Kg , Gabon won first ever medal by getting the Silver. Close match.

 

[Madridy]

Holy shit at the Italian comeback in TKD final!

Also what an amazing Sportmanship between them!

When did that happen? Never seen anything like it.

Also, I'm not a fan of BBC montages, or any kind of sport montage to be honest because they lack any real creativity - just add a filter and a track (often awful one) in the background, but the "I love you, Mum" scene was heart breaking

After hearing that damn song at least ten thousand times this year, i'm glad I don't have to hear it in Rio.

 

[EulaCapra]

Brazil won over the favored U.S. in Women's Volleyball 3 sets to 1?

How... Why... Hells naw!

I wouldn't mind if they used Samba de Janeiro for the medal ceremonies. But I guess that would just drive everyone nuts by the end.
