Why is she bald? What's the story, cancer?

 

[Wes]

These girls are so giggly! Fantastic.

 

[Amir0x]

Well, do you feel embarrassed by your domination to the point you think it cheapens your victory? If so then yeah, you know how we feel about swimming.

whoa speak for yourself

all I ever think is "FUCK YEAH USA BEST IN WORLD USA USA USA!"

 

[Diprosalic]

alopecia

 

[numble]

This Chinese guy is cocky as hell, lol.

the walking event is funny. I always think of that episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

 

[Meadows]

6 world records in a row.

that is just ridiculous. GB GB GB

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

And basketball team. And rowing team. And volleyball team.

You (I'm assuming you're from the USA) don't exactly dominate rowing.

 

[Brinbe]

Would love to see him somehow get DQ'd now.

And Brazil go up!

 

[scorcho]

well, Honduras put up a good fight...

 

[ColossalLazy]

Finally, Brazil is winning. [men soccer]

 

[Peru]

I don't mind the medals raining in cycling, and fair play to impressive domination, but some Brits in this thread said badminton, fencing etc were 'odd' sports, while the reality is they're at least hundreds of times bigger worldwide than track cycling.

 

[Trey]

Quintuple set point.

 

[numble]

Russian guy collapsed! He was in 2nd.

ahahaha yesssss

 

[mclem]

I love cricket. Haven't seen a single ball bowled in the current test.

It's a shame they're not holding it at Lord's. That'd be entertaining. One sport would be dodging arrows, the other would be dodging sixes.

 

[Brinbe]

Daamn, that Russian dude collapsed, scary. Someone help him!

 

[ezrarh]

Russian guy in racewalking looks like he's going to die.

 

[inky]

Always happens.

And track cycling has a number of weird events like the one with the motorcycle.

 

[W1SSY]

Serena

Spoiler

and Venus

getting ready to dominate some more russians.

 

[AB12]

This Chinese guy is cocky as hell, lol.

He needs the support.

 

[mrklaw]

Any talk of removing or changing the events in a sport due to domination by one country is foolish. Sports is constantly in flux, we're dominant now but that can change if we lose focus or other teams out more focus into that area.

 

[Ydahs]

Daamn, that Russian dude collapsed, scary. Someone help him!

Yeah, he looked out of it, eyes rolling

 

[Hoo-doo]

And track cycling has a number of weird events like the one with the motorcycle.

Using a pacecar/bike is not that weird in racing. Do you ever watch motorsports?

 

[mclem]

Swimming should have one with a jetski.

 

[Diprosalic]

china wins gold in the 20km looking stupid event.

probably bronze too.

 

[NekoFever]

So according to haters we need to remove swimming from the Olympics due to US domination, Cycling because of GB domination, and Racquet sports because of Chinese domination. Then maybe, just maybe, we could have a real competitive Olympics!

Get rid of distance running because the East Africans dominate. It's not fair on everyone else. Everyone's a winner!

Nah, things like badminton and fencing are valid sports. There are far stranger ones in the Olympics.

 

[giga]

Ahahaha someone actually said that?

No. It was in reference to people wanting to neuter basketball and swimming because the US dominates those sports.

 

[Trey]

Good show in cycling GB. I didn't get to see any of it. Don't have the BBC feed.

 

[Brazil]

Brazil giving China a real beating in Basketball.

Feels good.

 

[Big-E]

Holy fuck just saw the Russian die, he needs help and they are just standing there.

 

[Brinbe]

Awesome walk by Chen. He bossed that last few KM

 

[Good Job Bob]

We should get rid of the Olympics entirely, not fair how most countries don't even medal.

 

[Meadows]

Nah, things like badminton and fencing are valid sports. There are far stranger ones in the Olympics.

Modern Pentathlon is pretty ridiculous

 

[weekend_warrior]

[Men's Vollyball]

USA takes 2-0 sets lead over USSR.

No what we have to have is that a swimmer can only compete in 3 events, like the bikes and only one team representing a nation like tennis in all racquet sports.

 

[Ark]

Fitting:

Haha, so good.

 

[Officerrob]

Dressage needs to be dropped

 

[Subitai]

Fitting:

lol:

Who made this? It is all kinds of great!

 

[Chumly]

25 of the first 50 of all the athletes with the most medals are swimmers.

When there are actually 26 different sports available in the Olympics, that's just weird.
I don't really care about total medal count in the first place, but it's just way off-balance.

Track and field has literally not even started with medals. Swimming is done almost. Many other sports have not yet been completed either. You gotta think people

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I just tuned into the walking race. China went mental in this event. Now to look at clips of the half-dead Russian.

 

[Big-E]

Using a pacecar/bike is not that weird in racing. Do you ever watch motorsports?

Not the same thing really especially since it is not used in every event only that one.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Brazil rode their luck a bit there.

 

[NekoFever]

[Men's Vollyball]

USA takes 2-0 sets lead over USSR.

Your stream's quite a long way behind.

 

[Brazil]

[Men's Vollyball]

USA takes 2-0 sets lead over USSR.

It's funny because this would never, ever, ever happen back when the USSR existed.

 

[D4Danger]

Dressage needs to be dropped

I agree with that. the cross country thing is good but the rest is just nonsense.

 

[SniperHunter]

I love cricket. Haven't seen a single ball bowled in the current test.

.

Well the stadium is packed and this is a good match!

 

[Wes]

Jess Ennis, Mo Farah and the two guys in the Long Jump.

It's going to be an awesome evening of track and field.

GO GB!
