he's clearly talking about the getting 5-10 medals part. i can't see how you could interpret it otherwise.



nobody was talking about golds or that what phelps did isn't amazing.

4 swimmers have gotten more than 5 medals in a single games? I'd hardly call that inflated.

 

[PhoenixRising]

We've covered this extensively. She was trained in the UK and I'd trust my country over China when it comes to doping any day of the week.

And Ye Shiwen trained in Australia as did Sun Yang. Your statement is pure bullshit.

(Handball) Denmark beat Spain with one goal scored in the very last second!

Hell yeah, what a pass from standerlampen to knudsen. What a game

 

[bjaelke]

Aaaand Spain got robbed again, this time against Denmark in handball.

[Dr.Acula]

I wish schoolyard handball was a sport.

For those thinking Phelps got carried:

LOCHTE 1:45.15
DWYER 1:45.23
BERENS 1:45.27
PHELPS 1:44.05

Yanick swam a 1:43.2

 

[Diprosalic]

I thought the Chinese still had ten golds when did they go up to 13?

i think they have the table tennis gold on lock as well since the finals is between two chinese players.

finals is tomorrow though.

 

[Meadows]

i was joking, the french guy was faster though. he would have won with phelps teammates.

Spoiler

kidding guys

 

[Brazil]

is it mean that the OP made me laugh?

That's for the judge to decide.

 

[fuenf]

It's amusing how much time and effort German TV has spent on the swimming activities because they were so certain we'd win plenty of medals there.

It definitely is. but i have to say that ARD is doing a far better job than ZDF. I liked how they actually defended Ruta Meilutyte and Ye Shiwen for once.

 

[Sviatoslav]

bolded the greatest.

Competition wasn't that great 90 years ago.

 

[bjaelke]

Great duels in the table tennis match

 

[bolbronx]

Maze playing?

 

[Gray Man]

Will they be airing the Phelps race?

 

[numble]

Will they be airing the Phelps race?

Unlikely.

 

[bjaelke]

Maze playing?

Yes. against some German kid

 

[Subitai]

Yes, the US is failing to stop the new China domination.


Anyway, Phelps' chances in the 200 IM and 100 fly should be better since he's been training more for those and the 100m free.

The medley relay should be another cakewalk. Fastest backstroke, 3rd fastest breastroke, probably fastest butterfly, and i'll guess 4th fastest freestyle. On paper only Australia could pull the upset.

While this is true, team swimming has a lot of tactics going on. It's not simply going faster. The first French swimmer forced his first 25m and that was a bad decision since it's not how he usually swim, this kind of things affect your race.

 

[elty]

finals is tomorrow though.

I don't think a locked medal count until final is played.

They probably won something less people care like weightlifting.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Wow. I just tuned in.

How is Great Britain beating Brazil in women's soccer?

No, USA can do it, go USA.

 

[Wes]

So sad that you can't even see your fellow countryman become the most decorated Olympian of all time live on TV.

 

[dc89]

GB men's in volleyball have just got stomped by Australia. We are yet to win a single set this Olympics.

i know that's what i meant. they 'won' one more today but it will count tomorrow.

stella mccartney doesn't watch any sport does she? totally dodged that question.

For what I know today they won Diving and Fencing.

Our woman's team is actually very good, unlike our men's.

 

[Sky Chief]

lol will be interesting if they can match 2008. There is little doubt they will win the overall gold count unless USA does spectacularly in track and field.

US will get a lot of golds in team sports too

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

And Ye Shiwen trained in Australia as did Sun Yang. Your statement is pure bullshit.

I never said they WERE doping and have never said that in the hundreds of posts I've made in the Olympic threads. So... go fuck yourself.

Yeah but we already know lochte is slower than a 16 year old girl

 

[Wes]

Well the women are playing at a full Wembley, a level of support in an arena they'll have never experienced before.

But we're playing awfully well.

 

[Sealda]

Can the german table tennis player, please shut up when he wins.

He yells "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOWW" in a pre-mature boy tone every time he wins a ball.

 

[killer_clank]

this is considered a sellout in GB? :jnc

Phelps still needs another gold to break the gold record............

 

[Major_Lazer]

For what I know today they won Diving and Fencing.

China won Men's 69kg Weightlifting as well, guy completely bossed it and was only really competing with the world record lol.

 

[Sealda]

Yeah but we already know lochte is slower than a 16 year old girl

You mean, he is like 25 seconds faster than her in general.

 

[Meadows]

I should start watching our national team more

the men are shit, but our women can actually play!

It's unbearable

you get to lose to the US though. we really pride ourselves on women's soccer, we just take men's as a joke to make the rest of the world feel better
