North Korea would have let Team GB win today.

But didn't you hear, North Korea leads all countries with 200 golds, 150 silvers, and 400 bronzes.

That's what the state-sponsored North Korean radio told me.

Did the gb football team Consistt of the best players from all of gb?

No. Only players under 23 (with the exception of three) and not many Scottish players (readne).

 

[Diprosalic]

Wooohooo Schwarzkopf!

racist!

 

[Juicy Bob]

This is such a special feeling. I don't want this night to end.

 

[Levyne]

Why do they bite the medals? It isn't a chocolate coin...

I think the idea is that real gold is soft; if you bite it you'l leave a mark.

 

[nny]

Beautiful moment.

 

[Soyongdori]

We won't. It'll barely be noticed. In the moment, now, yes, but by tomorrow morning nobody will care

Somehow, I really doubt it.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Can anyone tell me what is that sign that Mo Farah is making?

From about 26:55 explains it.

lol pleasure dome, sounds like a prostitution facility.

 

[Mastadon]

Honestly never been so proud to be British. Fantastic night!

 

[Trey]

America vs. Russia again today, this time in beach volleyball. So far, the Americans are going in on RUS. Doubtful a reverse sweep happens in this one.

 

[inky]

Grats Team GB. Doing your countries proud this day.

BBC really losing it over Ennis.

The whole of Britian is losing it BECAUSE SHE IS AWESOME!

 

[Withnail]

The anthem for Ennis was amazing. So proud tonight.

 

[Dark Schala]

Why do they bite the medals? It isn't a chocolate coin...

Used to be because they tested the purity of the medals (ex: pure gold/silver should be easy to bite and leave a mark).

You don't have to do that now, though, but when you pose for pics, reporters and stuff usually tell you do to it out of tradition.

 

[Kikujiro]

I'm not British, but that was a fantastic moment, especially since it doesn't happen often.

 

[Nolan.]

So true sports personality is going to be interesting so many stories

 

[Hoo-doo]

I just saw the replay of the interview with the two british rowers. Manly tears, plain and simple.

 

[Monty Mole]

I think the idea is that real gold is soft; if you bite it you'l leave a mark.

The medal is silver with a gold plating.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Anyone have a link to the anthem singing? Kinda wanna see but NBC sucks sooooooooooooo

North korean table tennis player winning 2-1 against south korean player

I watched that last night on a shitty feed. I'm glad they are replaying it now on NBC sports

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Sean Bean in drag, awesome.

 

[Brazil]

Replay from the morning match.

SPOILER:

Best korea lose

We'll have to rebrand Best Korea after the Olympics are done.

 

[NekoFever]

Why do they bite the medals? It isn't a chocolate coin...

It's a joke. Gold is soft and you can mark it with your teeth, so you bite gold to make sure it's real.

 

[Monty Mole]

I know that it's a gold plating.

Just checking

No. Only players under 23 (with the exception of three) and not many Scottish players (readne).

The state must be mad, surely the land from which the great leader hails would never produce athletes that would finish second or lower to anyone

 

[Psychotext]

Man, what a night. I'm spent.

 

[Nevasleep]

By population ratio, GB are by far in front.
EDIT: Actually it's New Zealand

 

[perfectchaos007]

The Russian volleyball players don't have good vision

 

[Wes]

At least we'll be able to have a nice relaxing day on the emotions tomorrow with Andy Murray in another (two) Wimbledon final...

Who am I kidding?!

 

[D4Danger]

that's really cool that he would do that on the biggest day of his life.

Mo is such a great guy.

 

[GhostWriter24]

That's cute.

Is that on first or doubles?

Hold on there buddy, dont overplay the success even if you are right

 

[elseanio]

Did Mo and Greg already get their medals?

 

[Nevasleep]

That's cute.

And without it, we're also third. Good enough for me.

 

[Monty Mole]

By population ratio, GB are by far in front.

Yep, absolutely no argument there.

 

[Dark Schala]

We'll have to rebrand Best Korea after the Olympics are done.

Well, I don't know about that considering they got a buncha golds in weightlifting... >.>

Wonder how their losses get talked about in their state media, if they even talk about it at all.

 

[Withnail]

If Murray wins tomorrow I think we might see a BBC presenter spontaneously combust live on air.

Second girl in this vid gets flat out run over by the girl behind her: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19125189

OUCH

 

[kharma45]

Did Mo and Greg already get their medals?

Tomorrow.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Don't give a shit about the football.

This day was just so good. Olympics have been a monumental success already and that just caps it off.

 

[Miles X]

Best day for Team GB at the olympics for over 100 years.
