I fucking love that the Archery has commentators and announcers together actually pumping out their audio into the stands. Is that NBC or something else? It's not being broadcast through the live feed properly. You can just hear it in the background.

Thank god for rowing in the Olympics. The day China turn their eyes to rowing we will be in trouble.

Who is 'we'? There are chinese rowers in the olympics...your comment just seems like irrelevant paranoia.

[Meadows]

COME ON GB!

GB, Rowing and Cycling are our only safe medal sports so it's important the Chinese don't get good at it

 

[killer_clank]

[Toge]

COME ON GB!

LOL

GB has the resources to be excellent at any sport, just needs the talent pool/funding. I'm pretty sure China throws money at sport like its nothing and has 1.35 billion to pick from.

hmm we do now, I guess we still have the hangover from a lack of funding in the 90s and early 2000s. The next generation will be evidence of whether we've improved.

Well done Campbell! Good race there, didn't lose his cool.

 

[killer_clank]

10 minutes...

THE TENSION

 

[Meadows]

I think one good thing about rowing is that it's hard to choke at it. You just row, that's it. You can't fall. You can't lose your nerve. It's about endurance and preparation which is what we're good at. Especially in the team ones.

 

[mrklaw]

Yep, why is this only in badminton when every other sport has top dog playing against the lower seed?

I found it odd because this is the first time they are playing a group setup. But plenty of other sports do that. Maybe it's just the timing, too much time between group matches that might influence each other?

[Meadows]

This our first event that we're REALLY firm favourites for. Even more than Cav in the cycling because stuff can always go wrong in an event with 100+ competitors on one track.

Why did the ref just award the 12th point to Russia for Men's beach volleyball? The replay showed that the Chinese player didn't touch the net.

[mclem]

The thing about sports like this is even if they *start* well, you get nervous about whether they're tiring themselves out...

 

[killer_clank]

[Hoo-doo]

The thing about sports like this is even if they *start* well, you get nervous about whether they're tiring themselves out...

Yup, either start with everything you've got, or save your power for an all-out sprint in the last 100 meters.

 

[killer_clank]
