What the fuck how did he do that

The crowd helped so much, haha. Amazing.

 

[Jamie OD]

Weightlifting is awesome.

 

[Diprosalic]

china leads 16-10 in golds and in overall medals. US swimmers need to step it up tonight.

 

[SDBurton]

Holy shit!

 

[Brazil]

Weightlifting is awesome.

Man, I'm so jealous of you right now.

 

[zephervack]

450 pounds, no problem, daaaamn

 

[Kifimbo]

Finally, a happy Chinese gold medalist.

 

[Miles X]

china leads 16-10 in golds and in overall medals. US swimmers need to step it up tonight.

I thought China was set to do above US in both Gold and Total? Certainly gold tho, beat US by a massive 15 gold in Beijing.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Venezuela about to win a gold in fencing.

 

[zero_suit]

GOD DAMN IT, guess there's nothing you can do against Sharapova's fucking screaming

Don't worry, if she advances far enough, she'll get destroyed by Serena.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

crowd and presentation of the weightlifting is spectacular and the athletes are awesome. so much drama going on between lifts... and the time limits keep everything moving on at a nice clip. prob my favourite event.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Fuck yes!!

 

[PaulLFC]

if sharapova ever got hurt, no one would know

I know. Notice how she got even louder in the final game too when Lisicki needed to concentrate most. Screaming should be banned.

 

[TylerD]

Weightlifting is awesome.

How awesome is that tense music they play between lifts?

I have had it stuck in my head for a couple of days now.

The atmosphere at the weightlifting just seems perfect for the situation.

Ya, US probably won't catch up via track.

Let's go Hersey!

Would be a very difficult/subjective rule to enforce. What would they do, bring a decibel meter out?

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

China's actually slightly behind the pace they set in Beijing, and since they don't dominate T&F, they may end up with a lower total than last Olympics.

 

[RedSwirl]

I have no idea what's going on with Fencing, but Venesuela looks pleased.

 

[Brazil]

Would be a very difficult/subjective rule to enforce. What would they do, bring a decibel meter out?

If they actually did ban it, they could easily just state in the rules book that "if it bothers the umpire, it's illegal."

Edit: Spain got a medal. Pretty cool.

 

[SDBurton]

No one has to scream that loud. It's not like she's lifting weights.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Spain's first medal coming up.

 

[PaulLFC]

GOD DAMN IT, guess there's nothing you can do against Sharapova's fucking screaming

Lisicki did beat her at Wimbledon but I feel sorry for her having to play against the screaming. She hardly makes a sound by comparison.

 

[Atrophis]

Lisicki nuuuuu

 

[Diprosalic]

welp make that 17-10

 

[ag-my001]

Did the announcer say first gold or first medal for Venezuela since 76?

 

[Psychotext]

Yeah, I've been loving it and that Chinese guy was fucking legendary.

 

[keit4]

ABOUT TIME, SPAIN WINS A MEDAL

Mireia Belmonte second!!!!!!!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Yes.

 

[DrM]

China's actually slightly behind the pace they set in Beijing, and since they don't dominate T&F, they may end up with a lower total than last Olympics.

They also have like 3 times less athletes in London

 

[Brazil]

Chinese television commentator crying at this Swimming Gold, haha.

 

[MedIC86]

anyone have a stream for weightlift? i have eurosport hd, and bbc 1,2,3,4 but i cant find it. only swimming.

 

[Diprosalic]

SPAIN wins a medal. wooohoo

 

[Atrophis]

I love the weightlifting crowd. It's like watching Evo.

 

[Kikujiro]

I never cared for Weightlifting, now I'm gonna watch it for the next Olympics too. Crowd is amazing, it's like the cheerings are part of the competition.

 

[DrM]

It is over, but if you are in EBU zone and if your national broadcaster is not greedy bastards, you can check everything here, nicely organized by sports with all replays

 

[Brazil]

CIELO ON RIGHT NOW

COME ON

 

[Kurtofan]

Yannick Agnel!!!!!COME ON

 

[linkeurena]

Mireia first medal for Spain.

 

[PaulLFC]

Think I read that what they're doing at junior tournaments so players don't start doing it by habit. Should be if the opponent complains, final warning, if after that the umpire thinks it's still happening, the point gets forfeited.

Thanks!

Yeah. The crowd was one of the reasons I enjoyed watching weightlifting. The weightlifter AND the crowd just gets amped.


And just watched Sharapova's match. She's so damn loud lol.

 

[giga]

This one is going between Magnussen and Yanick.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Close volleyball match.

 

[Wafflecakes]

They also have like 3 times less athletes in London

Well that difference is because its easy as fuck to qualify for events as the host nation. They get into pretty much everything. What China lost in this games was just all the sucky athletes that shouldn't have been there anyways.

 

[Subitai]

Grats to China. Japan with another bronze in swimming.

 

[Brazil]

Actually they get into literally everything.

 

[ag-my001]

How is China leading US in volleyball?

 

[Subitai]

This one is going between Magnussen and Yanick.

Adrian! Believe!

 

[Wes]

US v China Women's volleyball is pretty darn close.

 

[RedSwirl]

Don't tell me I missed all of weightlifting. Any events left?

Chinese television commentator crying at this Swimming Gold, haha.

Anywhere I can get that?
