Yooo GABBY!!!!!!!!!

 

[LTWheels]

Glad we were not the only ones who did it.

 

[Macattk15]

Does Gabby have a chance at gold in any of the individual events?

Well I think Vault goes to McKayla. Floor to that one Romanian girl or Aly. Bars to Mustafina and maybe the Beam to Gabby?

 

[Miles X]

Totally undeserved for Germany.

 

[3Sixty]

Germany stumble to gold.

 

[giga]

Germany lol. What a joke.

 

[Knux-Future]

Dagger watch in basketball

 

[Wes]

The replay of the German's family in the stands finding out :lol

 

[Nolan.]

Is there much point having Cavendish there? it's like they're just talking between themselves and he's just sitting in

 

[ezrarh]

Wow this cycling dq stuff seems awful.

 

[ColossalLazy]

omg Russia x Brazil is intense

 

[Good Job Bob]

I think Wieber would have easily been a lock for at least bronze

Definitely, really a shame she didn't qualify.

 

[masud]

Huertas with the crazy shot! Brazil up 2 6 seconds left.

 

[inky]

LOL, this is as dumb as the fencing free seconds.

 

[Brinbe]

6 secs still left for Russia. Let's see if they go for the tie or the W.

 

[davidsaurus]

Delight

Shock

 

[Randdalf]

China didn't get disqualified mind you, they still get silver. The punishment is not total disqualification but rather, "relegation", where you automatically lose your matchup. I think it's ridiculous that this event has been marred twice today by this rule though...

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

So China DQ'd?

 

[MIMIC]

Girls on the stand ^_^

 

[McNei1y]

makes you wonder if you are gonna see these US girls in 4 years time. Will always love Johnson.

I wish. They were so good. But it doesn't look like it.

Shawn Johnson retired a couple of months ago due to her lingering leg injuries. Nastia Liukin may be done with gymnastics since she didn't qualify for the olympics this year (barely missing when she fell on her landing of the uneven bars)

First the badminton game throwers, repeated awful boxing reffing and now all this.

 

[John Dunbar]

i have never watched this kind of cycling before, but after seeing what happened to both GB and China, i have come to the conclusion that it's a fucking stupid sport and will not watch again.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

No ability to appeal is ridiculously dumb.

 

[AngryMoth]

Maybe it should just be a time penalty instead of a straight relegation? I suppose it would have to be very small to not effectively be the same thing.

 

[Hoo-doo]

China has golds to spare anyway. Grats to germany.

It's a great sport marred by dumb rules.

 

[Big-E]

So what's going on in the velodrome with these dqs?

 

[jl4855]

yeah pretty much

this is just the cycling rules though. it's tough but they're doing what they said they would.

 

[Nolan.]

So do they get no medal?

 

[BertramCooper]

Damn.

Komova can't even pretend to be the tiniest bit happy.

 

[Knux-Future]

OH


MY

GAWD

 

[elseanio]

So do they get no medal?

They lost the final race, so win Silver

 

[Doomshine]

Holy shit basketball!

 

[masud]

Wow crazy end to the basketball game! Russia with the win!

 

[FtsH]

never mind China has gold surplus anyway

 

[Brinbe]

OHHHHH DAMN, RUSSIAAAAAAAA FTW

Amazing finish to a good game.

Crazy fucking shot

 

[Officerrob]

Olympic boxing reffing has been and always will be a joke. You either have to accept it or don't watch. I stopped watching years ago

 

[Awesome]

The judging has been horrible in these games so far, especially in two boxing matches yesterday, it's obvious what has been happening.

 

[giga]

Lol brasil. (bball)

 

[D4Danger]

Chinese girl doesn't want her silver. she's off.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

So what's going on in the velodrome with these dqs?

No one was disqualified

And the rules aren't really stupid- it's quite clear. Even though they didn't break any this time

 

[ColossalLazy]

ARGHHHHHHH

Well played game.

 

[elseanio]

Chinese girl doesn't want her silver. she's off.

Haha. Give it to GB!

 

[masud]

So sad China...

 

[MasterShotgun]

South Korea is so taking this fencing bronze.

 

[planar1280]

Chinese girl doesn't want her silver. she's off.

What where which stream

 

[Drakken]

Russia! Haha, crazy end to that game.

 

[Kobalty]

Chinese girl just fucked off out the stadium LOOOOOOOOOOL

It's not judging in anyway - they broke the rules. The rules say you get regulated.
