Archery definitely is the summer olympic counterpart to curling.

Curling is fucking awesome!

Lochte is a cocky bastard. Ever seen him interviewed?

 

[sfedai0]

Why do all the brits come off as defeatists? All they ever say in the interviews is "well, that was my best and thats that."

 

[planar1280]

Lochte brought this upon himself after hyping himself as the next great swimmer after Phelps

Year of the bow.

Mmm woke up this morning to find the US only 1 gold behind China. Good morning to you too!

Really excited to watch the Woman's gymnastics final even though I know results lol. Damn you internet

Our rowers this morning were pissed at getting silver. It's mainly the swimmers.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The Year of the Bow continues.

The Olympics needs more backwards events, IMO. Backwards 100 meter dash, backwards hurdles, etc.

I would pay good money to watch backwards triple jump

Yea, I meant swimmers primarily.

 

[McNei1y]

Is the swimming feed saying "Coverage will Resume" for anyone else or is mine just screwed.

 

[giga]

Too much Lochte talk and not enough Clary. His first Olympic medal--a gold!

Did you not hear Cav? Asking why the other teams even race if they don't want to win.

Have you ever met a British person

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Is there a male swimmer who will be more decorated than him at these games? Has Phelps spoiled us so?

Well the media has done a good job of pointing out that he's been kicking Phelps' ass for the past few years (despite the fact Phelps has just been getting high and playing COD), therefore he should kick more ass than Phelps did in Beijing!!!

Because nothing will compare with the glory of the Empire.

I think Lochte's problem is that a 27 year old body can't do what a 23 year old body can recovery wise. Phelps knew this and cut back accordingly. I think he only slapped the 400 IM on as well because the competition didn't look that great late last year.

Spain can't play D at all, as soon as the benches come in this thing is gonna get ugly though.

I REALLY want to watch some archery, but none of the channels I have, shows it

 

[Nolan.]

Yeay! Simmonds makes it, now don't swim so close to the lane!

 

[Wes]

Well arguably if we had been put in to the better starting lane (which we deserved after our qualifying) we wouldn't have been hindered by the cross-wind as much.

I heard that the coaches were fuming with the officials for the lane setup but there was nothing they could do and had to wait until the end of the day to lodge their complaint.

Spain stylin on GB in basketball

 

[Ark]

Why do all the brits come off as defeatists? All they ever say in the interviews is "well, that was my best and thats that."

To be fair most of our athletes that say that are our newer, younger athletes. Like someone above me said, Cavendish was pissed after the men's road race, slamming them for making Team GB do all the work.

Missy - another dreadful american name!

 

[Knoxcore]

Damn swimming stream doesn't want to work again. It's so frustrating.

 

[Nolan.]

Bless her she was crying, poor steph

 

[krae_man]

Wow this Canadian went all out at the start.

Edit: Wow, she managed to hang on.

 

[2Crisis]

Her real name is Melissa

I'll watch Swimming if the USA has a redneck (or at least someone with a redneck name) in the team.

 

[Seda]

Simmonds did make the medal round after all

 

[Brazil]

Her real name is Melissa

Why would a "Melissa" choose to be known as "Missy"?

 

[BravesCountry]

Haha yeah I love this article about Phelps playing COD a little over 4 hours a day

http://venturebeat.com/2012/07/27/michael-phelps-plays-call-of-duty/

“I’ve been playing a lot of Call of Duty lately,” said Phelps in an interview with The Post Game when asked what game he’s been playing. ”I find myself playing like 30 hours a week.”

He was then asked if people knew who he was online. “Yeah, people don’t know it’s mine,” he answered. “I just get crushed. I always find myself getting heated, trash talking. And you know it’s a 10-year-old kid on the other line that just demolished me. It’s so frustrating. But it is fun, and I’m very competitive in everything I do.”

Some little kid is demolishing Phelps and trash talking him, having zero clue that he is playing against one of the greatest Olympians ever. Fantastic stuff.

LOL NBC skipping Women's 200 Backstroke. What a fucking joke of coverage this is. No to mention they put commercials during soccer games.

 

[3Sixty]

Wonder what sort of Racism the Spanish basketball team can inflict on the hosts this year.

Thanks a lot for this, was watching poor streams.
Thanks.

NBC are so shit. BBC are managing to get interviews with all the American swimmers because as the BBC presenter said "NBC aren't filming at the moment'.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Russia should just give up and accept the silver. (Fencing)

 

[Meier]

Why would a "Melissa" choose to be known as "Missy"?

Quite common in the US. A lot of younger people prefer to not have classic/prim and proper sounding names.

 

[Xun]

Is that from How I Met Your Mother?

I love how terrible the green screen effect is.

Because the name 'Missy Franklin' is just all out win.

Bruce/Li FTW

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I saw an interview with Peter Wilson (won Gold for GB in the double trap shooting) and he casually mentioned how his friend Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum funded his training. How many of these (usually British) athletes became as good as they are because they're from privileged backgrounds?

 

[masud]

What's wrong with Missy?

 

[McNei1y]

NBC are so shit. BBC are managing to get interviews with all the American swimmers because as the BBC presenter said "NBC aren't filming at the moment'.

Aw that's shit. I want interviews and stuff :\

 

[RedSwirl]

Why are the fencing girls so into it when they get a hit?

 

[Nekki]

Soni's a pretty good looking girl! Now get on to the medley!
