The rowing semi-finals are running right now.
So apparently China isn't televising any events it doesn't have a team in, and I don't have access to a computer, which really blows because I planned on watching Best Korea take on the US in women's football.
Canadian women level with the Swedes 2-2 late. Too bad I had to miss it because the door rang. EDIT: Antoine Valois-Fortier gives us a bronze in judo! Great work!
Time for me to be a technical moron again. Is there anyway to turn down the quality or speed up buffering? Mine keeps pausing every 5 seconds. I'm watching through the BBC.
Djokovic steamrolled Roddick.

[QUOTE=Wiggles;37018370]It should change quality automatically if you've got a slow connection.[/QUOTE] Dang, I guess I just have to deal with it.
Canada grabs another bronze in women's weightlifting. Win all the bronze!
People are already saying that this year's Olympics are turning into a disaster. What exactly has gone wrong? The ticket sales system is fucked up, but what else?
[QUOTE=st0rmforce;37018885]People are already saying that this year's Olympics are turning into a disaster. What exactly has gone wrong? The ticket sales system is fucked up, but what else?[/QUOTE] The North Korean soccer controversy, the South Korean fencing controversy, the (supposedly) empty seats. Really it's just that people love to jump all over the host nation for screw-ups. Suck it up Britain, your media mercilessly stomped all over us because snow wouldn't fall.
Ah so it's just generally a case of: Something goes wrong at the olympics = WORST OLYMPICS EVER!

I know she is built up because of her demanding sport, but to me it detracts from her looks and adds masculinity to what should be a feminine frame. However, I still felt bad for her when she could not qualify.
UK finally got a gold in rowing!
