The question remains: Why do they play it late at night in the first place?

Question is, why not?

 

[HoodWinked]

[Kurita]

Wow, that rally !

idk, I just know they've got a really good atmosphere going every time I watch it! I've watched more volleyball (beach and court) than any of the other sports so far.

And thanks guys, I knew there was a sensible answer.

Rio 2016 beach volleyball will be so good!

 

[Adamm]

Gonna Missed the archery finals tommorow

Damn you work!!

So ill have to record it & watch it after. But I will miss out on celebrating Ki Bo Bae's Glorious win!

 

[Wafflecakes]

Volleyball.....so good. Not sure why the sport fascinates me so. So much tension.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

It's perfectly understanding that someone would downplay the importance of the Olympics when their country is doing terrible, and also find an outlet to downplay the Americans success.

But his country isn't doing terrible though

We are doing ok, not great but ok considering the size of the population etc

Yeah... I became interested because of a manga...

Korea to win the first set I guess.

 

[modulaire]

Beach Volleyball is like a party.

You should watch the Grand Slam in Klagenfurt one day.

It was bizarre to listen to the national anthem on the BBC.

[Good Job Bob]

The sport is doing ok in certain European countries. Spain, France, Germany, Denmark I think.

But it's not a big deal compared to football/soccer.

it's quite big in europe, don't know about asia.

Big deal in Scandinavia, popular in most of mainland Europe

Interesting. Thanks.

I watch Indoor Volleyball for Volleyball. Outdoor can get a bit distracting at times.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I am actually very familiar with beach Volleyball in general because I use to watch Universal Sports obsessively and they show it a lot. Too bad my TV provider dropped it.

 

[Kurita]

Korea wins the first set !

[Kikujiro]

Lol @ the Happy birthday Kaka sign.

 

[davidsaurus]

Nice job Korea. I just watched the boxing, what a disgrace. Who let that idiot referee anywhere near the olympics. What a daft fool.

 

[Kurtofan]

probably obscure eastern european countries.

yeah no.

 

[Wilbur]

Nice job Korea. I just watched the boxing, what a fucking disgrace. Who let that idiot referee anywhere near the olympics. What a daft cunt.

I'd edit if I were you, mods don't like that word for some reason

Thats where I had it. It got dropped and replaced with the "Live Well Network" -.-

That word is comes off my tongue an awful lot. Bleh..

Funny interview with Wiggins on Sky News at the moment.

Seems like a top bloke.

I've never seen a better reason to show 25 pictures of some toned bums.

 

[Kurita]

Indoors volleyball is more interesting.

 

[Officerrob]

Seriously boxing is such a messed up sport...so damn unpredictable...and anti-climatic... :/

The only thing more unpredictable (in a bad way) than Olympic boxing is professional boxing. The sport has been reduced to a fucking joke.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Indoors volleyball is more interesting.

I agree.

Though with beach volleyball I get the closest I probably every will to understanding heterosexuality. Luckily I can just watch a stream of mens diving to right myself afterwards.

 

[LegoArmo]

I'm enjoying this beach volleyball, and the girls aren't even in bikinis. What's happening?

 

[Kobalty]

Wow did anyone else pick up on the music, I wasn't watching at the time

[HoodWinked]

Olympic boxing is best boxing. LOL

 

[ag-my001]

Good handball match, Russia was down by 4 but pulled within 1. Croatia got one more goal to extend the lead with one minute left, then Russia oddly let the clock wind down without trying too much offense.

 

[HoodWinked]

holy shit stuffed.

 

[davidsaurus]

hah, that is pretty awesome - didn't see it.

 

[Bo-Locks]

He is very ignorant.

I didn't see the interview, but what are you talking about? Do you even know what ignorent means? He seems like a nice normal bloke. Certainly more human and down to Earth than most other star athletes.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Anyone know how long streams will be available post games? If at all?

Soo much to watch and not enough time to watch it all. Missing out on so many nontraditional sports.

Yes he can be. But on one interview he was just dismissing people and pushing people out of his way including fans.
