Women's Fencing ended as predicted. ITALY ITALY ITALY
cav's complaints are a bit pathetic, maybe if half the team wasnt tired from just finishing the TDF and a sprinter wasnt trying to win a hilly event they might actually have some medals just from the small amount i have seen fencing looks fun but a bit fake
[QUOTE=titopei;36978670]Shit fencing is intense[/QUOTE] fencing now?
does the host nation still get to add an event? if so what was added this time
i don't see any fencing now [url]http://www.london2012.com/schedule-and-results/[/url]

I'd love to be able to play table tennis at the speed of some of these athletes
I think on the west coast, NBC doesn't show them live so I guess I'll have everything with an 8 hour delay.
[QUOTE=Rigged237;36978789]women's volley ball may in fact be the sexiest sport on planet earth[/QUOTE] I decided to watch indoor vollyball over beach because the girls looked hotter. Such a beautiful sport
Just incase you guys didn't see the independent athlethes [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU4WipHVPdM[/media] Shit quality but is the only video they have on youtube at the moment
Does the BBC have good coverage of the shooting events? NBC usually has terrible coverage of Skeet, Trap, 25m rapid fire, and 50m 3P, which are my favorite events. If they do, then I might get myself a VPNS account to watch. Unless anyone knows a decent stream for these lesser watched events?

In my opinion the BBC has ace coverage of the Olympics this year, the red button layout is brilliant.

BBC seem to be showing as many events as they possibly can, though, which is brilliant [editline]28th July 2012[/editline] Although I'm not sure about other countries coverage, but they seemed to not be getting a lot of information coming into them during the road race earlier. They couldn't give names of any of the riders, and they weren't getting informations on the time difference between the groups towards the end
Just came back from watching Tennis at Wimbledon. I thought Federer might lose at one point at the beginning of the third set. The first match was really good too. That Belgian was awesome at drop shots.

It would have been on several hours tape delay here anyways. God BBC coverage on anything always seems so good.
Events are winding down for the night. Current Medal Count: [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3664177/London%20Olypics%20Thread/Medal%20Count.PNG[/img] Tomorrow's Schedule: [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3664177/London%20Olypics%20Thread/Schedule.PNG[/img]

It's still on the BBC site for stream (the volleyball, [B][URL="http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=4214"]usaokay[/URL])[/B]
Australia needs to be DQed. Full bodysuits in beach volleyball? Cmon now...
how comes North Korea have a medal and UK don't? :-(
I feel bad because really the only reason I'm watching is to ogle the cute foreigners [editline]28th July 2012[/editline] I mean the sports being played are interesting, I just don't get much enjoyment out of them otherwise
[QUOTE=themooselord;36975485]Imagine the shit storm if we cut out a 9/11 tribute from the US olympic opening.[/QUOTE] NBC's a shitty channel, everyone makes fun of them. Most recently, Jon Stewart made fun of their shitty reporting on the Colorado shooting. Also recently they fucked with the Zimmerman 911 tapes and got shitted on for that too.

[editline]28th July 2012[/editline] At least it is better than FOX.
Might be me, but can't wait to see the wrestling matches! It's always interesting to see each country's own twists and techniques!
Men's Gymnastics look sexxxaaaaaay
To yesterdays crash in cycling: Cancellara has no fractures, but some serious bruises. It's not clear if he can start in the time race.
Another morning, more Olympic swimming.
