Post results of you and your friends when olympics are over

wtf one day in and China already in the medal lead with 4 Golds. I should try to find the time to watch some of these events. The vast majority of Olympic events do not receive any media coverage, particularly in Canada where it’s Hockey half the time and the other half consisting of the other major North American pro sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB). You really have to go out of your way to find links/streams online to watch most of the Olympic sports.

Also, thread needs more pics.

Phelps didn’t know the matchup.

Also China is looking like a machine right now. I have so much respect for Chinese Athletes, I can only imagine that they get for failure…

How the fuck am I supposed to find out my account and password for my cable provider to watch the olympics? I’m dying here.

They train together tho…its just as crazy said.

oh hells no

james bond would try to shoot jackie chan with a pistol, but then jackie chan would jump out a 3 story building to dodge it, land on some awning, climb back, grab a broom as an improvised weapon, ambush and beat bond over the head with it and then finish him off with a random chair that was lying around.

also to the guy asking about hotties, actually ugly people ARE genetically inferior. people who are good looking have symmetrical faces, which is an indication of good genes. people who are ugos have less symmetrical faces, which is an indication of bad genes (down syndrome being an extreme example of this). so not that far fetched that athletes are hot.

Interesting note: I saw a lot of athletes today in the mall next to the Olympic village. You can tell the athletes as they were wearing full track suits and many had their ID badges round their necks. Some were getting their photos taken with members of the public and looking pretty pissed off/hassled. So this begs the question: if you just want to chill in the mall and hit the shops WHY wear your FULL kit?? Just wear jeans and a cap.

Secondly, I saw a LOT of young athletes in the food court rocking colonol, McDonald’s etc. pretty surprised.

Lastly, the only Mexicans I saw (media not athletes) were eating at tortilla, the burrito stand lol.

Athletes have good metabolisms typically so they can usually eat whatever they want…assuming its not a sport that has weight classes. So really it shouldn’t be all that surprising…mcdonalds gets burned off without even trying for most of these guys

Only brought team gear maybe, being hustled together to travel in packs, no personal belongings. Or there to buy jeans and t-shirts!

Maybe they were done with their events and are finally eating the generally accepted mass produced bad for you (perhaps comfort) foods, with their sponsorships from McD’s to get it all free but they shouldn’t ever eat it when training for competitions even on a “reward day.” Or you hear often how many an athlete likes chicken fingers, candy, something in bulk you would not expect them to eat.

At least the athletes can even eat the local food. Weren’t there stories in 2008 where people had to bring their own food and water with them because they were getting food poisoning and diarrhea in Beijing?

NBC stream is pissing me off. I was watching Japan vs Sweden women’s soccer and the stream cut off at half time. It never started back up again. FUCK :mad:

What was up with that Colombian punching Abby Wambach(sp?) in the face?

I’ve got to see the replay I read it was a shiner.

Also: The Wambach Punch

It’s not really a shock that they’d do this. They probably enjoy the attention, and soak it in while they can. Unless they’re an Olympic superstar, or from a small town/country they don’t really have to deal with being famous. Once the Olympics are over they can fade back into anonymity.

I think it was pretty stupid for Phelps to swim the 400IM. I remember him talking about how he wanted to eliminate it from the last Olympics because it wasn’t his best event, he didn’t like it, and it takes a lot out of him. Why they’d add it to this years is kinda baffling.

Did US sweep Korea in volleyball? I turned it off with Korea up, but US had already won two games.

3 sets to 1 was the result.

Sun Yang becomes the first Chinese man to win a gold medal in swimming. His pop off is warranted.

Holy krappe China is invading swimming/everything now like Korea at EVO 2012. That girl just accelerated the entire last 100 in the 400 IM and smashed the world record at 16 years old.

I’m calling Asian Hax on that 16 year old what the fuck.

Expect the age to be checked so fast, so nobody gets pulled a fast one like Yi Jianlan being a rookie in the NBA, yeah man he’s 18 we swear! Or actually yeah, Chinese gymnasts always got questioned.

AUS vs Brasilia basketball. Hey lets wear Green White when the other Team Wears Green Yellow. Patty Mills still around, who slacked so hard off Leandro Barbosa he’s wide open. Expect SLAM magazine or someone to call him, the Corpse of Leandro Barbosa. That guy fell off fast.

Boxing, AM 5:30 PST on CNBC.
