[PjotrStroganov]

Van der Ten!

 

[Deadman]

30, nice

 

[SolidSnakex]

Fuck NBC for never showing any archery or shooting.

They do show it on their other networks. The finals in Men's Archery will be on NBC Sports in another hour.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Gold for Cuba in 25m rapid pistol, India silver, China gets bronze

Lets do this S. Korea
(Unleash #10)

 

[Kurita]

Korea not doing so good.

 

[fuenf]

i think it's always no TB

 

[keit4]

Slow-mo cameras in waterpolo are amazing :O

 

[Hoo-doo]

Rick van der Ven's arm is shaking a lot.

He's still hitting them tens though, so it's all good.

 

[MIMIC]

I can't watch this match with that idiot Gimmelstob commentating. Every new thing he says is even stupider than the last.

 

[nny]

(Archery)

Here we go again!

 

[Kurita]

#10 knows how to tip the ball too haha.

 

[mcfrank]

So true

 

[D4Danger]

I have no idea what's going on in the sailing. It looks like a complete mess.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Does anyone think it's funny how the live stadium announcer says on thing and then the broadcast announcer seems to talk shit about it in the archery? maybe I'm just imagining

 

[Kurtofan]

South Korean didn't even try to fight the mighty Teddy Riner!

 

[Deadman]

These 2 archers are so good

It's raining 10s, Hallelujah, it's raining 10s.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why the US basketball team chose a college basketball coach (for a team that has a lot of NBA players)?

(Not knocking the guy -- he's doing an amazing job -- just curious why they didn't automatically use an NBA coach)

 

[Diprosalic]

i have a bad feeling about this game.

 

[Withnail]

Nice result for Ainslie in the sailing. The final race is going to be interesting.

 

[bjaelke]

I have no idea what's going on in the sailing. It looks like a complete mess.

When they sail against the wind they'll have to sail sideways (zig-zag) and it can get very hard to follow as a spectator.

 

[fuenf]

i have a bad feeling about this game.

me too fucking Del Potro

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

gonna have to dig deep on this one

 

[Brazil]

South Korean didn't even try to fight the mighty Teddy Riner!

No one can fight Teddy, let's be honest here.

 

[D_prOdigy]

I have no idea what's going on in the sailing. It looks like a complete mess.

It's quite compelling once you get used to the fact the camera angles can't show you shit about who is exactly where.

Anyway, apparently Ainsley only needs to beat the Dane to get gold. If Ainsley gets 1st and the Dane gets 2nd, they'd be tied on points, so I assume it goes down to who does best in the medal race to settle it.

 

[clemenx]

i have a bad feeling about this game.

It was the match if Del Potro didn't fail that volley.

 

[killer_clank]

Ben Ainslie seems like a god of making amazing comebacks.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Clutch shooting by van der Ven.

 

[Kikujiro]

Van der Ven = Robin Hood

 

[Kurita]

Korea is powerless.

 

[MIMIC]

Federer volleying like Novak at the moment (and it pains me to say that)

 

[nny]

(Archery)

Van der Ven scored 115 out of a maximum of 120 points n the first 4 sets.

might not be allowed to plus they got other shit to do like preparing training camp, scouting, preparing rookies and shit.

probably pays nothing and no real honor in winning it? but i don't know just speculating.

 

[Brazil]

Shootout here we go.

He's better than most of the current NBA coaches. Also, international basketball follows slightly different rules from the NBA.

 

[jett]

Fuck you ESPN Latin America, I want to watch archery, not fucking Del Potro.

 

[Deadman]

Shootout! So brutal. So close.

 

[John Dunbar]

another shootout.

 

[nny]

(Archery)

One arrow shoot-off!

 

[Hypnotoad]

Is Evilore gonna win?

 

[Emwitus]

Man. that poor lady from qatar got muscle cramps.

 

[Kikujiro]

Shoot off, this semifinal so good.

 

[mclem]

Even if he manages to push the Dane back into 3rd place in this race, I still fear it's too little too late for Ainsley by the end. The Dane looks firmly second-best at worst, and Ainsley needs him to be worse than that.

Actually, they're level. The final can just be a straight race, winner takes gold.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Please don't botch this one vd Ven!
