2016 Summer Olympics Thread - Live from Rio de Janeiro!

sheeeit, imagine how insane the medal count would be if the Olympics happened a bit more often…like every 2 years or every year?! These “meta-human”/“X-mutants” people like Bolt, Phelps and Ledecky would rack up a truck load of medals. Eh, people would likely get bored of watching the same people win so much more often though.

*ah, now for my little honey Allyson Felix… Natasha Hastings was just on too :sweat:

nbcsports has everything

Is France still in it?

Well, they managed to make Ledecky look quite alright this morning on the Today show…she is…oddly attractive when she’s done up for interviews… also, THE NASTIA is on there right now, of course talking about gymnastics stuff…looking outstanding…that’s more prime white meat there.

Simone B. is up for tonight on gymnastics—probably my favorite event too… balance beam, which is soooo good when they bless us with the slow motion close-ups there :sweat:

3*23=69
This must be an inside joke :rofl:

sheeeit, women’s track is ON.

Sydney McLaughlin—that’s going to be one to keep tabs on for the future, yes yesssss… and she’s a fresh one too :hang_loose: …sheeeit, that girl is one of those types… like Tamia, or Pebbles from the 90s… :wow:

My baby Allyson Felix should be on some time soon, then we have Simone B. and Ms. Hernandez in gymnastics tonight.

Ukrainian synchronised swimmer, Anna Voloshyna


Living up to the Ukrainian reputation, lol.

Two Brazilian divers will no longer compete together after one of them reportedly engaged in a ‘marathon sex session’ in the athletes’ village.

Giovanna Pedroso, 17, said she was booted from her room in the Olympic Village so that her partner, 20-year-old Ingrid Oliveira, could have a late-night romp with another athlete.

Pedroso reportedly wasn’t allowed back in her room all night as Oliveira got busy with canoeist Pedro Goncalves.

Nice to know that gettin’ down and dirty isn’t lost on Olympic athletes.

Lost on them? An Olympic village is practically a 500000 person orgy.

Allyson Felix so gahhhdamn sexy

Why the fuck didn’t Allyson Felix lunge? If she lunged she’d have won that is going to haunt her for the rest of her life.

i wish Gatlin would’ve dove when he had the chance to yesterday

Allyson still the most decorated female champion in US olympic history

Bolt was going to win
Even on the downhill of his career he’s still exponentially better then everyone
He’s 6.5 with the turnover of somebody 5.4
And he will win the 200 easily
The result was predictable as he felt more like himself through the rounds

Wayde van nierieks 400 world record is far and away the performance of the games
He ran his second 100 on his way in 9.9 seconds then to finish so strong with all that lactic acid build up and redline, his body screaming in pain is astonishing

He s the only guy in the world/history to run under 10 secs for 100 under 20 seconds for 200 and run 43 for 400

His range is frightening…

Anyone like javeline, Julius won gold in the 2015 world campionships

Javeline starts Thursday

Bolt 200m qualifying this morning looked over twice during, to see who’s oncoming, to the 2nd place guy again. Who dapped him up right after. 2 Winners of the heat, 1st place 2nd place move on.

Restart setup on the blocks when he wanted to have it quiet, could’ve been different from a usual routine there to mess him up. But it was explained he does always ask for quiet with the “shh” finger. This time he said something looking forlorn, not happy with it, and they obliged.

Interview: Answering a question about what happened, how do you feel about people/crowd noise from last night and today: ‘Yeah people showed me lots of love after my win.’

Then how do you feel, etc:

“I’m tired! I knew it was going to be early in the hot Sun and everything. I’m not a morning person!”

1 day off then Finals Thursday Primetime/Night local time = NBC tape delay.

Walsh Jennings is definitely past her prime, she’s still good but at 38 years old she’s nowhere near as athletic. Playing out of position for the first time didn’t help much either.
