What are you guys watching at the moment? Real battle going on between the 2 Chinese in the weightlifting right now

 

[inky]

Korean dislocated his elbow in the weightlifting.

I'm a little behind on the stream and I just saw this. Shame because he was doing good.

Chinese aren't even out yet, and they've already added like 15kg to the initial weight.

I'm rewatching some matches I missed earlier when I was working, and Choi "miss glasses" Hyeonju really struggled with an Italian! Impressive finish, though.

 

[DrM]

That cover they use for the injured weightlifters is pathetic. What about a little curtain?

Yeah, it is funny - with several slo-mo replays of his elbow dislocating...

[fencing]

Sad Kelsey lost, but the two matches I saw of him didn't give me much confidence in him. Just a lot of dancing.

 

[Miles X]

Two brits in the pool right now for team GB fans!

chinese guys dominating weightlifting? i don't know how this sport works.

Yeah, it's raw power, but even more technique and that is where they are best at. They get only 3 attempts per mode and they have to make them count. They have dominated all the categories up to this point.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Damn. Kelsey didn't get that bronze.

 

[Atrophis]

Lisicki has some ridiculously powerful shots.

My wife's playing? Why didn't she tell me?

 

[ag-my001]

And that is why you don't wear yellow highlighter shoes.

 

[McNei1y]

weightlifting is boss

He bored he to death

 

[Hoo-doo]

I half expect these weightlifters' heads to explode when they are lifting. So much stress on the body, every vein popping out. It's scary to watch.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

[Brazil]

This Chinese guy wanting to beat the weightlifting world record twice. :lol

Everyone always tries to improve their mark when they break the WR, haha. It only makes sense.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Okay Zagunis. Don't choke again.

 

[Officerrob]

I believe three, but I could be wrong

 

[numble]

Those highlighter shoes were asking to be hit.

[McNei1y]

You're right. I think... lol

 

[Brazil]

Well, drama, obviously!

Fencing and weightlifting always bring the goods.

 

[Jamie OD]

Time ran out for him to try and break his record. His trainers tried to complain but the call stands. 1st half of the contest is now over.

 

[Nevasleep]

Another clerical fuckup, seems like China aren't appealing. They should.

How the U.S. Gymnastics Team Crushed the Russians: A GIF Guide

If you watched NBC's prime time coverage of the women's gymnastics team final, you were deceived -- the U.S.'s crushing defeat of Russia was even more brutal than the network's packaged show. In order to create a sense of drama on the last event, floor, NBC showed Aly Raisman falling in the warmup, and more importantly, ignored a fall by one of the Russians. By the time it was the Americans' turn to do their impressive flips and weird little dance moves, all they had to do to secure the gold medal was not fall flat on their faces. Multiple times each.

That's not to say the outcome was a foregone conclusion. Lots of fans picked Russia to win, given their increased difficulty scores, their huge advantage over the U.S. on bars, and their more graceful style that international judges tend to reward. But the U.S. women gave some of the best performances of their lives, and Russia choked. In the end it was a drubbing. Let's see how it happened.
