Why?
That was awesome. GB celebrating like it won gold, China was like it came in last place, and the American that won gold seemed like he was celebrating winning a PS3 in a contest or something.

Russia got more Athletic Medals than Jamaica at these Olympics.

What does the Olympics stand for?
Not the olympics, but a Russian diver died after doing just that. I wonder if banning inward dives was ever considered.

Not to toot my own horn, but I nailed it. My sister and I went to watch the Campaign, and I come home to see my dad watching diving. I asked him how much of the volleyball match they showed, and he said "I haven't seen any". I rolled my eyes in disgust. Just extra coverage of the diving competition like I expected. I would have paid big money to get the BBC's coverage on my television. The online stream offered by NBC was a buffering joke.
edit: hey look they are going to show some points of the volleyball game

Men's 4x100 was amazing. Didn't think for a second Bailey would beat Bolt, but watching them shoulder to shoulder coming down the last 100m way ahead of everyone else was awesome.
because he backs it up

The physical form of blasphemy
I knew Bolt was going to take it. What got me was how Blake utterly destroyed the little lead the US had.
edit: Carl needs to stfu with the swiftness. Bolt wasn't out of line for calling him out.

Carl Lewis took shots at him first.
Lewis accused him and a lot of runners as juicers.
Which made me (personally) think a lot less of Carl Lewis. I don't understand having to respond.

Bolt doesn't usually have the best starts in the world but once he picks up speed there's no catching him.
Yeah, I went from liking him to having too much of his self promotional antics somewhere between the 100m and 4x100m finals.
Really proud of the USA this games.. won a number of golds in events that in recent years we have struggled to do well in. I do wish we had a government-sponsored system in place so we could focus on some of the fringe events and not just concede them but what can ya do.
Fantastic to see a man from the US win a diving gold again.. been a lifetime for many of the athletes!

I've been a bit weary of Bolt's ego these games. On the other hand, he's backed it up. He's been amazing.
Lewis seems universally reviled in track and field circles. Taking shots at him seems almost too easy (not that he didn't deserve them).

yea
Nothing wrong with calling yourself a legend when that's exactly what you are. I don't see what the problem is. It's not like he talks shit about other sprinters.
Hilarious considering Lewis was a juicer too. :lol

I don't like or dislike him based on anything he says off the track, he's just a phenomenal athlete on the track and it's exciting to watch him race.

Seriously. Was really looking forward to the match. Instead I get an additional 2 hours of bs to watch. They could've easily shown it on one of their three cable networks where they ran out of stuff to show and had to replay the men's soccer match twice. There they at least showed the bronze medal match in it's entirety.

They showed the first few points of the first set ( the one that USA won ) then the last 5 or so points of the 4th set. That's it. Maybe 10-15 minutes of coverage of that gold medal match was shown. I hope NBC never gets out of their 4th place hole

I don't care it's the only gold we win at these Olympics, this was huge. The biggest accomplishment Mexico's football has ever achieved. These guys went through a lot in order to get here. So much criticism after that awful Copa América performance by pundits who didn't understand the disadvantage they had been forced to play with.
I'm so proud of these guys. Mier, Aquino, Fabián, Herrera, Reyes, and Chatón are surely gonna leave for Europe soon. Corona and Oribe could still play in one of the top leagues, but I doubt they will be called considering their age. More importantly, this makes everyone so hopeful for the future: this is the base of the team that will play in Russia 2018. Add to them the guys who just won the last u-17 World Cup and a few of the guys like Guardado and Chicharito who will be veterans in 2022... I'm so ecstatic for what will come.
This is a country that has gone through so much bloodshed these past six years. You have no idea how much this means for us. A gold, against Brazil, in Wembley, in the sport we all love. So big.
As for the cherry on the cake, Mexico also won bronze in Tae Kwon Do today! We've surpassed Sydney as our best olympic showing outside of home soil on the medal count. Too bad we couldn't secure a second gold to overcome it in the ranking. Still, certainly a lot better than the two/three medals people foresaw before the competition began.
I'M SO FUCKING DRUNK I NEVER DRINKWhere's Regulus Tera?
Congratulations man

Congrats on the gold Regulus, it was in exciting match.
It pains me to say as a proud patriotic American, but I'm starting to enjoy watching soccer.

If your talking about the men I should slap you.
And I am so glad to slightly rub in the USA Medal win to non-Americans doing trash talk outside of GAF. They made for a great games.

lol @ NBC trolling Brazil an hour back...Brazilians win Volleyball gold followed by Brazilians lose soccer match.
Anyhow, I've tuned out this second week after following the first week closely. That's how it always goes with me. Second half isn't nearly as good but I'm pumped for the Marathon in 5 hours. NBC will be airing it live at 5am Central. =)

And Lewis didn't diss or accuse Bolt, he dissed and accused Jamaica as a WHOLE.
That's worth more than what Bolt said
