How many 200 flys have you competed in? Go to any club meet in the US and 200 fly is always the least entered event because the stoke doesn't let your body escape the lactic acid build up. Lots of swimmers will dip their toes into other events they don't specialize in, but it is almost never the 200 fly because it ruins your body for the rest of the day unless you've trained for it.

oh, so butterfly is not only slow, it's also inefficient? that's great.

freestyle is the only one that interests me.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Aww yeah, Williams match secured. Doubles final, here we go.

 

[Lonestar]

Gold for the Williams sisters (tomorrow)

Not Yet. Not Yet

 

[Shadow780]

I can't take those screams, glad it's over

/fencing

 

[Juicy Bob]

ANOTHER PENALTY?!

SAVED!

 

[Wes]

Ramsey saved!

THERE'S TOO MUCH STUFF GOING ON. I CAN'T HANDLE IT ALL!

 

[Brinbe]

Nice save

 

[Psychotext]

Goodamnit.

Awful penalty.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Got lucky with the first penalty. Someone else should have taken it

 

[brain_stew]

What awful penalties.

 

[Dresden]

Korea getting screwed hard against Britain...

 

[Meadows]

crap pen

 

[Jensen]

That was a poor penalty, he got lucky with the first as well .

 

[LTWheels]

FFs. Why is Ramsey taking our penalties. Give it to Bellamy.

 

[szaromir]

Water polo loos super fun to play but is super boring to watch. Sam with field hockey, except I played field hockey quite a lot actually several years ago.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Time for women's 4x100m relay. Kromowidjojo right back into the action again.

 

[Shadow780]

lotta hottie in field hokey.

 

[Ghost]

omfg Ramsey, two worst penalties I have seen in a long time.

 

[caramac]

[Mens Football]

Both penalties were pretty poor imo, he was lucky to score the first.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Aaron Ramsey(GB) scores a penalty, 1-1.

SK have been the better team so far.


I think the current commentators are the best the BBC have had in my lifetime, people get too nostalgic over Murray Walker's commentary.

Sorry for the tone I took, but Murray and James hold a special place in my heart. They're unsurpassed in my opinion. David isn't quite there yet and Brundle's left the BBC.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

THERE'S TOO MUCH STUFF GOING ON. I CAN'T HANDLE IT ALL!

BBC Radio 5 Live is serving me well right now.

 

[mrklaw]

Aargh, football + long jump final + swimming relays + heptathlon 800m nearly here all at the same time

I'd stick with BBC1HD but they seem to be ignoring the long jump a bit too much. I wish they'd bounce around more than they do.

 

[Kikujiro]

The Fencing celebration got emotional, the four Chinese girls bowed to their French coach and said "merci".

 

[bjaelke]

Time for women's 4x100m relay. Kromowidjojo right back into the action again.

US using 4 different and better swimmers compared to the semi final :/

 

[mclem]

Could we have two golds in one hour?

Our long jumpers are a bit handy too, don't forget.

 

[Subitai]

oh, so butterfly is not only slow, it's also inefficient? that's great.

freestyle is the only one that interests me.

Fine, but I wasn't gonna let you diminish what you're not interested.


Ok relays here we go!

 

[Brazil]

China dominated Korea after the third bout in Fencing.


Oh, well. Shin got a Silver, so that's good enough.

 

[datruth29]

The Long Jump looks so hard. Having your feet land right before the red line before you jump seems so tough.

 

[Threi]

Did I mention that women sprinters have the best asses in the olympics?

Cause yeah...


Goddamn

 

[Jensen]

Sorry for the tone I took, but Murray and James hold a special place in my heart. They're unsurpassed in my opinion. David isn't quite there yet and Brundle's left the BBC.

No problem, I completely misunderstood that post. Not a fan of Ben Edwards? I thought he did a good job on the season reviews before he got the job and his racing experience(and general involvement in motorsport) makes him a capable replacement for Brundle.

GB doing slightly better now...which isn't saying much.

Our long jumpers are a bit handy too, don't forget.

Of course, how could I forget about them. Would six golds in one day be a record for GB?

 

[mclem]

The female commentator at the weightlifting is *very* welsh.

 

[DeFiBkIlLeR]

Could we have two golds in one hour?

Hmm, i think he's an outside shot for the 10k isn't he?..5k is his real chance.

 

[Brinbe]

US looking like they got this

 

[Juicy Bob]

Shana Cox is the most American sounding Briton I've heard since Lewis Hamilton.


Also, FLY GREG, FLY

 

[duderon]

Hmm, i think he's an outside shot for the 10k isn't he?..5k is his real chance.

He should be in good form in the 10k. It's going to come down to how fit Bekele is.

 

[Adamm]

Can't believe long jump final has no commentary

 

[Wes]

BBC Radio 5 Live is serving me well right now.

I have two streams going and the radio in the background.

 

[mxgt]

Shana Cox is the most American sounding Briton I've heard since Lewis Hamilton.

Probably because she was born and raised in America!

 

[Brinbe]

Gold and the WR

 

[MasterShotgun]

US kicking ass in this medley. Can we get a WR?

EDIT: Yes we can!

 

[bjaelke]

At least we didn't come dead last.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

wtf... this kazakhstan lifter is godly

 

[Jezbollah]

Wonder will anyone ever beat the long jump world record, its stood for 24 years.

I remember watching that record being broken (in Tokyo, I believe) while playing my Commodore 64. Amazing day.

 

[Levyne]

Good job, girls

 

[Ghost]

Greg Rutherford seems like a bit of a douche, rooting for Tomlinson

 

[giga]

WR!!! Well done ladies.

 

[Diprosalic]

i will be glad if swimming is finally gone, my tv channels show every single event and i have to watch crappy streams without commentators.

 

[Deadman]

Kazakh weightlifter is completely ridiculous. Just broke olympic record like it was nothing.

 

[Wes]

HUGE JUMP BY RUTHERFORD!

 

[Officerrob]

4th gold for Franklin
