Yeah, it's almost like he just became the most decorated olympic athlete of all time.
 
Actually that was pretty cool since I didn't remember many of his 2004 wins. He can play as much COD and smoke as much as he wants now.

Beautiful hair.
 
I just noticed the Beeb's "catch Up" feature applies to every single event broadcast. shit's a veritable library of the games from day one, since nearly every event is covered by them.
 
So I don't know my login details for my cable subscription (I'd have to get it from my roommate when he gets back in town), so I can't stream, and the channels look like shit on my TV for some reason.

Is there going to be any resource later to watch the olympics online or maybe on DVD or something? It's pissing me off how I can't tune in :( I wanted to see the gymnastics and swimming.

EDIT: Oh I guess I can proxy and watch the BBC videos. Thanks! still though...does the Olympics ever release on DVD or something?

Don't worry man, at the end of the day all these girls have done is win a subjectively judged athletic competition.

It's great to watch all these athletes do cool shit but none of it actually matters!

hahaha your avatar, the pic you posted man and tag....I can't stop laughing.LOL
 
Whoa. Interesting article about badminton today. Apparently some of the top seeded duos tried to throw matches to get easier opponents in the next group after a chinese team was upset earlier in the day. Pros doing crazy mistakes round after round barely going for the shuttlecock. The reffs had to interrupt it and warn groups several times. The audience was booing like crazy. Cant find anything except the short video on the yahoo article sadly.

The article says the group format was new this year and will definetly not be coming back in Rio.

Link?
 
The issue is that Sony dont work for free. BBC got that Government money son. NBC got Cable Money but that will never be enough because outside of Football Ad Rates, everything else is weak. Thats why they have to get on that ball for Rio. Meaning, a Prime Time HIT at the Lost level.

I still dont get it. Marony had no issues from start to finsh and they give a .855 decuction? BULLSHIT. They Judges be slippin.

Nooooooooooo, she got something like a .255 deduction. But most of the other girls only got about .500 deducted and they weren't vaulting nearly as high or landing perfectly like she did. So it made no sense where they could have found .255 to deduct.

I'm finding articles about the badminton. What a mess.

LONDON (Reuters) - Spectator displeasure and referee intervention did nothing to encourage the Chinese pair of Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli and South Korean duo Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na to raise their game in a women's doubles badminton match at the London Games on Tuesday.
Both teams, who have already qualified for the quarter-finals, delivered an abject performance that saw all four players miss routine shots throughout.
Fans booed as shuttle-cocks were hit long or dumped into the net, prompting the referee to come on court twice to speak to the players before South Korea eventually won 21-14 21-11.
The result means China's world champion duo will only meet the country's number two pair if both teams reach the final. The Koreans may now have to get past the Chinese number two team to reach the final.
"Actually these opponents really were strong. This is the first time we've played them and tomorrow it's the knockout rounds, so we've already qualified and we wanted to have more energy for the knockout rounds," said Yu.
"Really, it's not necessary to go out hard again when the knockout rounds are tomorrow."
The South Korean players declined to comment.

Basically, because a Chinese team lost earlier, if this Chinese team won, they would have to face the other China team and one of them would have to eliminate the other before the medal rounds.

Im talking about that moving matrix cam the BBC uses...which CBS sort of invented...which ESPN runs to the damn ground...which NBC sort of cheates on is not on NBC's coverage.

Bald guy is bald, nothing against him.
