Like the guy said, it's simple. Just wait for the gun.

Please tell me you didn't just refer to Carl Lewis as 'the guy'.

 

[clemenx]

Wait wait wait.

Why is Luke Campbell guaranteed at least a bronze if he's only just won his QF? Is there some quirk of boxing I'm not aware of?

They don't fight for Bronze on boxing. All fighters in the semi have bronze secured.

 

[Regulus Tera]

holy shit at the medal discrepancy between South Korea and Japan

 

[Plinko]

Is the 100m live on NBC or tape-delayed until tonight?

 

[D_prOdigy]

Ah, I see. Thank you.

 

[numble]

There are 2 bronze winners?

 

[Keylime]

None of the track and field feeds are working for me on NBCOlympics.com...what the eff!

Nm...site was just lagged.

Doesn't look like it's going to be on live TV...

I think this is the stream for it, though:

tape delayed. no way would nbc show something as big as the 100m live in the afternoon

 

[krishian]

Ethiopia/Kenya is going to fuck this up again, just like the 10k yesterday. If they just ran like they do over the whole year noone would even be close...

 

[Dance Inferno]

Anyone see this story about the South Korean fencer? Fucking hell, so sad and unjustified, but also the sheer stupidity of it all and the officials not trying to set things right, but instead making things much worse :/

What the fuck that is incredibly messed up.

 

[Nemo]

Man, I really want a new WR, bring it Bolt

Nah, but it's 4-5 days ago so it's probably somewhere in OT2. Anyway the girl won the silver medal in the team event yesterday, so at least she got a medal.

I'll try to look for it, thanks!

 

[white dynamite]

Whoa. Lolo Jones is a virgin? I guess that means she's not going to the olympic village afterwards.

 

[Carbonox]

Never understood the point of the steeple chase.

"Hmm, how should we create a new race but make it more exciting?"

"I know! Let's throw random obstacles in the way and make it 3000m just because?"

"BRILLIANT!"

 

[Hoo-doo]

Please tell me you didn't just refer to Carl Lewis as 'the guy'.

Deal with it.

 

[clemenx]

Yep. I think Judo is the same, not sure if it's Judo or another one of the combat sports.

 

[Saty]

Fields events? There's such a thing? Oh, the event is about to end so let's show a string of taped attempts that takes most of the point of live sports away. 3 high jumps and back to the track - not be seen again for who knows how long.

It's amazing to me how the field athletes haven't revolted against this over the years. They are criminally under-televised.

 

[Lyonaz]

Yep. I think Judo is the same, not sure if it's Judo or another one of the combat sports.

No in Judo they fight for Bronze.

 

[Kurtofan]

Yep. I think Judo is the same, not sure if it's Judo or another one of the combat sports.

Judo, Wrestling, Boxing and Taekwondo.

No in Judo they fight for Bronze.

They have two bronzes.

 

[Brazil]

Yep. I think Judo is the same, not sure if it's Judo or another one of the combat sports.

There are two Bronze medal fights in Judo, Wrestling and Taekwondo, though.

I'm on that same link and it's streaming for me.

edit: nevermind as well

 

[Keyser Soze]

The BBC 100M Montage song, if anyone was wondering

 

[fuenf]

Ha, everyone wants to see their country's sports-people do well, and it's natural to be disappointed or angry. You shouldn't generalise.

good to know but you are right!

 

[Linius]

There's no public live TV broadcast for Americans at the 100 m? Seems weird to me with Gay and Gatlin on the track. What's the deal with that?

 

[navanman]

Kenya going to win this gold.

Since the incident, it has come out that the timekeeper for the event was a 15 year old British volunteer.

Yeah, that shouldn't be happening.

 

[mclem]

Can't believe you're in the stadium on a last minute ticket. Mind me asking how much it cost?

Purchased yesterday morning for £50 - bottom price tier.

 

[Xeke]

Kenya going to win this gold.

Bold prediction.

 

[numble]

East Africans breaking away.

Field doesn't equal ratings

 

[krishian]

Kenya going to win this gold.

They're going too slow I think

I believe all field finals have a separate stream on bbc.

NBC tape delays everything popular to put on in prime-time.

 

[Kurtofan]

Mahieddine must win!

 

[-COOLIO-]

GET HYPE

 

[giga]

Kenya just went bezerk!

 

[krishian]

Welp, guess I was wrong

 

[Meadows]

fuck, im so hyped for the 100m

glad I'm not distracted by a GB athlete, I can just enjoy it

 

[navanman]

Nearly celebrated too early.

 

[Kurtofan]

Silver for Mahieddine! Silver for France!

 

[numble]

Wow kaputo.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Some runners were purposedly abusing the first false start to ruin the concentration of others.

I must be naive because I'd never expect someone to try that in a 100m final.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

I know it's been said, but that photo of Shin A Lam is heartbreaking.

 

[Hoo-doo]

fuck, im so hyped for the 100m

glad I'm not distracted by a GB athlete, I can just enjoy it

I envy you, watching that dutch guy getting smoked isn't going to be pretty.

 

[LegoArmo]

Hah, he almost messed that up.

 

[Linius]

NBC tape delays everything popular to put on in prime-time.

So they have no respect for sports fans. Why would someone want to wait hous after the event to see something that already took place. Weird stuff.

 

[linsivvi]

LOL @ Kemboi

 

[clemenx]

Kemboi is a bit too happy

 

[nny]

Jeez, get a room.

 

[moai]

so the guy from kenya is dancing on the track. i guess it's time to criticize him

 

[Lyonaz]

That's how you celebrate!
