I will say it again our handball goalies are fucking awesome.

 

[Dark Schala]

Fuuuuuck my stream froze.

Wow, Shemyakina was a freaking genius with that move just now, haha. Nice counter.

Bah, I missed that.

 

[MasterShotgun]

This gold match is kind of boring. Not a whole lot going on.

 

[Delio]

Welp let's see what you can do Phelps >_>

 

[Wes]

The fact that they speak French in fencing is dumb.

Thats like saying love, deuce or advantage in Tennis is dumb.

 

[Sealda]

How likely is it that Chinese swimmers are juicing?

With 36 gold medals to get in the swimming. It is not exactly surprising, that china, the worlds richest and most populated country, have chosen to invest time and money, in better swimmers.

 

[Zaph]

She left as soon as someone from her team told her to, and no earlier. I sure as hell wouldn't leave before someone I trust 100% confirms I really lost.

The BBC commentators (ex-athletes) said the exact same thing. You do as your coach/team tells you - not some official speaking a language you don't understand.

I will say it again our handball goalies are fucking awesome.

I will not forget Champions leauge (handball) when goalie intercepted very fast ball with his crotch. He was like chameleon, lying there on the ground with medical team applying ice on area of impact.

 

[Brinbe]

Phelps wins his heat. Nice

 

[Dark Schala]

Phelps wins this semi.

The BBC commentators (ex-athletes) said the exact same thing. You do as your coach/team tells you - not some official speaking a language you don't understand.

That's kind of the position I'm taking on this too.

Really, it's pretty lame for everyone involved.

 

[SJRB]

Fencing even has their own MC hyping up the crowds, what the hell?

"Get ready to make some NOISE"

 

[Delio]

DAMN Phelps kicked it into high gear right at the end.

 

[giga]

Phelps just didn't care till that last 50 lol.

 

[Shadow780]

lol Phelps trolled everyone.

The last 50m is perfect Guild Theme material.

 

[Biggzy]

DAMN Phelps kicked it into high gear right at the end.

He sure did.

 

[Red_Man]

lol Phelps trolled everyone.

That's exactly what I said to my friend :lol trolled HARD

Wtf NBC

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olymp...-enhancing-sound-olympics-201149772--oly.html

Ah, there's nothing quite like the serene "swoosh-swooshing" of oars in the water, as Olympic rowers glide along the water. There really isn't, because those sounds spectators are hearing on their TVs are not live from the event, The Atlantic reported.
In order to keep sight of the boats, broadcasters must follow them with chase boats and a helicopter. The result is that the sound of the rowing is drowned out by that noise. So, NBC elected to replace the live audio with a recorded soundtrack of rowing practices to deliver more accurate depiction of what the sport sounds like in its pure form.

 

[Kjellson]

Thats like saying love, deuce or advantage in Tennis is dumb.

Yes.

Phelps had a really good turn there as he emerged ahead of everyone out of the water despite touching like fourth.

 

[Brazil]

I really dont think Linekar is cut out for Olympic presenting

 

[Buba Big Guns]

This table tennis match is fucking crazy!

 

[DarkMehm]

The german fencer is doing it on purpose I swear. It's going to be another late decision.

 

[navanman]

THe fencing is tense now.

 

[Zaph]

I really dont think Linekar is cut out for Olympic presenting

I miss Adrian Chiles on the BBC...

 

[Altazor]

I picture the fencing referee (?) saying ENDUT! HOCH HECH! instead of those french phrases.

 

[SJRB]

German is sabotaging the game with her constant pauses. Aren't there penalties for this kind of behaviour?

 

[Sloane]

The german fencer is doing it on purpose I swear. It's going to be another late decision.

Fuck this.

 

[Koodo]

Of all the reasons to bitch, this has to be the most inconsequential
