Bolt time

 

[Grimmy]

Hahahahah
The French CBC channel had a hilarious segment. Apparently there was a mini-controversy when they found out that the Canadian national uniform was made in China. So they guy asked other countries' teams where their clothes are made...

Australia... made in China
Pakistan... made in Pakistan
Senegal... made in Senegal
Russia... made in Russia
Portugal... made in China
USA... made in...Japan???
China... made in.... THAILAND???

Hahaha what a revelation - even the Chinese uniforms are made overseas!

 

[Dice]

What are you guys watching? I see Bolt getting ready right now...

 

[Beezy]

What you gonna do when Boltmania runs wild on you?!

 

[Karakand]

USA... made in...Japan???

hells yeah bitches, we're ethical!

 

[Wallach]

What are you guys watching? I see Bolt getting ready right now...

I'm streaming the 49k women's Taekwondo. Quite frankly the women's performances in this event have been largely disappointing. KEN v SWE was decent but everything else so far has been a lot of standing and some frustrated referees.

Right after I type this the woman from Cuba just stops her Vietnamese opponent cold when she was coming in with a straight foot to the face. :lol

Usain Bolt makes me want to turn into a CHICHIMON

 

[Illuminati]

That was fucking insane.

 

[pollo]

WID DA FIYA MIX WE BURN THEEEMMMM

 

[Beezy]

Usain Bolt makes me want to turn into a CHICHIMON

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Y2Kev]

There's Michael Jackson's reaction.

 

[Illuminati]

He's like the Terrell Owens of track and field.

 

[DrFunk]

Disqualified? Ouch.

 

[Beezy]

There's Michael Jackson's reaction.

Michael who?

 

[Illuminati]

I hope someone just captured his reaction as a .GIF when he saw the board and he was disqualified.

Edit: Wow, what an awkward interview.

Pictured: The moment British Olympic swimmers confronted German rival over her 'dirty tricks'

Row: Cassie Patten (right) accused German Angela Maurer (left) of pulling her leg at the end of the race, ruining Britain's chance of a 17th gold

Angry: Patten jabs her finger at Maurer as she makes her point about the race

Is there any proof?

There has to be some kind of video evidence if it is true.

 

[Dice]

So how long will the videos be up on the NBC site? Their streaming is absolutely pathetic but maybe when the Olympics are over I can go check out

Spoiler

the inexcusable masses of

stuff I missed.

 

[Piecake]

Should be silver and Bronze for the US in the 200. Any info if the silver medalist will be disqualified?

Do you mean the stream speed/quality or just the selection? NBC's steam quality for me has been excellent throughout; I don't think I've seen it pause even once.

 

[Y2Kev]

Michael who?

woops :lol

I'd love to see Michael Jackson's reaction

Both got DQed.

The Brit was already well in 3rd place and losing distance on the first 2 when any grabbing might have happened, so it wouldn't have affected her placement.

Roughhousing appears to be common in the long swims.

Sutton competed in Melbourne, too, so she was familiar with the rough racing tactics of kicking, grabbing and knocking over competitors' drinks on sticks at the feeding station.

"It was a pretty physical race. I tried to stay away from a lot of it," she said. "If I would've tried to get into a good draft position, I would've just gotten beat up. I was sprinting so long that when people started to speed up, I just started to slow down."

Ilchenko said she had her own run-ins with Brazilian teammates Ana Cunha (the other 16-year-old, who was fifth) and Poliana Pechanova (seventh).

"I had to clash on numerous occasions, especially with the swimmers from Brazil," she said. "I was trying to break away from the Brazilian girls, who were quite aggressive. This is swimming after all, not boxing."

Jamaica is killing shit

 

[The Faceless Master]

omigod, i need HD caps of melaine walker STAT

 

[Beezy]

Jamaica is killing shit

Expect another gold or silver from the women's 200m.

 

[Frenck]

LOL

Walking is the most laughable competition at the Olympics. Every other sport I can get behind but WALKING :lol

 

[Illuminati]

Wow that must be a sucky feeling, getting bumped up to get a bronze because the two guys ahead got disqualified by stepping on the line.

 

[The Faceless Master]

wow, bob costas putting Usain over

Expect another gold or silver from the women's 200m.

and maybe the 4x100!

Stream quality. It constantly pauses and stutters for me. I can stream 720p quicktime so it's not my connection.

 

[Beezy]

and maybe the 4x100!

For both men and women teams. The only way I see either team losing is if they make bad passes or drop the baton.

 

[Ripclawe]

 

[Piecake]

Damn, that was a fucking cannonball

 

[NetMapel]

Damn those athletes doing speed walking can sure shake their butts :lol

Also, it's not good that they're under the rain like that. Can you think of all the baldness coming later in their life ? :O

 

[Blader]

No one is downplaying Phelps.

People are debating what they think was the most impressive feat so far in this Olympics. For me it is Bolt by a mile.

You say that, but actually plenty of people in this thread have been downplaying Phelps. That's what's so insulting.

Both Phelps and Bolt have secured themselves as some of the greatest, if not the greatest, Olympians of all time. Let's just leave it at that.

EDIT - And that really sucks for Spearmon, especially since they didn't tell him until after the victory lap. Wtf.

 

[guess]

Wallace Spearmon's reaction to being disqualified in the 200m was hilarious. His interview was very strange.

 

[Blader]

That guy was such an asshole. "What emotion are you feeling?" What the fuck kind of question is that?

 

[The Faceless Master]

indeed, that shit was cold blooded.

 

[Piecake]

Those Chinese girls must have an advantage in terms of splash because they are so skinny.

 

[NetMapel]

My God those Chinese female divers are like half the size of their competition. Take que, people ! Don't send relatively big people to diving :lol

 

[Ceres]

The older one is kind of scary looking with how freakishly skinny she is while being so muscular at the same time.

 

[Piecake]

My God those Chinese female divers are like half the size of their competition. Take que, people ! Don't send relatively big people to diving :lol

At least those 15-16 year-old Chinese divers actually look their age. Oh wait, there is no age limit in diving, right?

But yea, it seems that in diving, anorexia ftw

 

[NetMapel]

That was one sexy song that was just played on CBC :O Awesome stuff !

 

[Chamber]

I was really hoping there was a gif of this. :lol

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

NBC, stop showing this old lady and focus more on Haley Ishimatsu!!

 

[SolidSnakex]

The Australian diver takes forever to do her dive.

 

[liquid_gears]

David Davies bringing home the gold in the 10k swim for GB.

 

[liquid_gears]

Nooooo. He is swimming the wrong way and has given up a 7m lead.
