According to the announcers, the U.S. team was expecting no resistance from the Japanese team so it's a wonder it's as close as it is.

 

[typhonsentra]

American girls really rallied here. When does the match end?

TIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Inquisitor]

18-18!

If the USA wins this round, they win, if Japan loses, we go onto one more set.

Edit: 19-19

Hungarian friend of mine pointed out that one of their country's greatest athletes died while training for the games.. doesn't seem to have gotten any air time.

USA channel, but it looks to be over. It looked so funny for some reason.

Edit: Nevermind still on.

 

[Branduil]

Man I hope the USA wins this sabre match.

usa

Haha, I don't think i'll be moving much from my TV today. I have marching band all next week, so this will be one of my few chances to watch Olympics.

 

[typhonsentra]

Fencing seems anti-climactic, eh?

 

[giga]

these fencing screams...:lol

 

[Shadow780]

Man I hope the USA wins this sabre match.

Aren't they both from US?

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Christ weightlighting looks intense.

This chick looks like a MAN!

NO MEDAL FOR YOU!

 

[woodchuck]

[Illuminati]

Wow those are crazy fencing masks, it makes them look like Daft Punk.

Christ weightlighting looks intense.

The women look so compact.

 

[Branduil]

Why are we awesome at fencing and sucky at shooting. Makes no sense.

 

[Alucard]

Fencing seems anti-climactic, eh?

Yeeeaaaah, I don't really see a lot of strategy being involved.

 

[typhonsentra]

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE SCREAMING!?!? :lol

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Why are we awesome at fencing and sucky at shooting. Makes no sense.

We missed a bronze in shooting by 1.9 pts.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

This is disappointing, I already saw this weightlifting live. On her 3rd attempt, the Taiwan weightlifter almost gets crushed by the weights

Should be coming up in a few minutes.

We tend to spray, not pinpoint.

Haha oh man, I can't turn away then.

edit: Yea already saw medal results. All I can say is that you women's fencing watchers are going to be pleased.

Oh my god, I thought the Taiwanese chick was gunna die.

Edit: Wow, new Olympic record!

 

[typhonsentra]

I just thought of something, I remember reading women's fencing was one of the smaller events China was planning to use to pad there medal count. Anyone else remember hearing that?

HOLY shit it was just on. Her head almost look like it was going to explode. Slow motion makes it look even worse.

Project 119?

Basically the Chinese are intensely focusing on categories that yield multiple medals instead of singular.

 

[Karakand]

which version of romeo and juliet?

the O.G. version, naturally

*bites his thumb*

 

[NetMapel]

Yeah I'm waiting to watch it on TV later if they re-show it. Right now I'm looking to see the badminton match because I think the Taiwanese qualified for the next round.

 

[woodchuck]

the only reason im watching this boring ass fencing match is because it's in HD
