Anybody noticed? The sideline ref for CAN vs. SWE looks like Maggie Q.

 

[Hunter S.]

everyone loves playing Basketball in school in the UK but no one ever thinks of taking it any further.

Sounds like soccer in the USA. Kids sport mostly and that is it.

GER VS USA male judo match the most intense one yet. US pleyer has m,ost of his face covered up from injuries

It's like he's Frankenstein or something.

MLS says otherwise. Canada would be a better example, although there are now three MLS teams here.

boats!

This Judo match between the US and Germany was intense.

Seems like GB are awful at the harder difficulty dives in comparison to the others. Just blew it with their 3rd dive there.

Tony Estanguet wins gold medal for France in Canoe for the third time!!!!

Truth be told regardless of race beating a record like she did anyone would be suspicious this isn't about racism or "sour grapes".

You mean taking a second off a record... exactly like Phelps managed to do 6 or 7 times in Beijing? Oh no wait, he actually beat one of the records by nearly 3 seconds, not just 1 (and the relay team took more than 4 seconds off). There was no-one pushing the drugs allegation at him, they just recognised prestigious talent when they saw it.

This, it's pretty much racism. Racism brought on by sour grapes.


Edit - Ha, co-incidentally the one event he beat the world record by nearly 3 seconds in? 400m individual medley. Go figure.

 

[Natetan]

Doubles girls badminton Japan vs Taiwan. Intense!

 

[mclem]

Their were plenty of controversies in '08.

I'm reminded of Sarah Stevenson in the taekwondo. I suspect it's no coincidence that she was the athlete who gave the athlete's oath this time 'round.

Everybody was destroying records in swimming last year. Wasn't that primarily due to the LZR suits?

 

[Kamakazie!]

if there's one thing I knew GB would be crap at it's shooting. can't blame them there...

Didn't we get a shooting gold in Beijing?

Edit - Only just saw new thread. Replying there.

Weightlifting is so mesmerizing.

Japanese archer starting with a 10, nice.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Anyone watch Ding Ning vs Feng Tianwei? Awesome match.

One thing I didn't get... in the last game, at like 10-4, the umpire didn't see the ball touch the table. Feng said it did, and the umpire was like "oh, ok" and awarded her the point. Is it as simple as that?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Did that bitch who sucker punched Abby Wambach ever get suspended?

This Bell Social Scene is the worst thing I have ever seen.

I just wanted to thumbs up on this. I absolutely hate how media coverage of just about anything has been infected by retarded social media references... I cringe every time the social scene comes on and whenever an announcer says the words trending or hashtag.

I can't believe that they're putting on TV stupid shit that random nobodies say on freaking twitter... who the fuck cares?

 

[Zapages]

sorry old thread.
