The Olympics

[Bobby]

I will readily accept that we have the government we deserve, but I don't know what America did that's worth being punished with NBC.

From a friend that's covering the games in Rio, the shuttle bus drivers are often lost because their unclear of the routes. Yikes.

 

[Bobby]

Yeah, I heard about one stopping the bus to ask a guy walking down the sidewalk for directions.

 

[Bobby]

Katinka Hosszú put down an insane time in the 400 IM. That was probably the biggest beat down I've ever seen in swimming, second place was almost 1/4 of a lap back.

She finally won a race at the Olympics couldn't have done it any better.

The leg break from the French gymnast Samir Ait Said was painful to watch.

any place to watch/download daily highlights

 

[Arnau]

I like women beach volley

 

[Bobby]

Watching journalists try to look smart by acting like they knew who Yuliya Efimova was before Saturday.

 

[Arnau]

Just saw a vine where a journalist from Venezuela said Phelps won the world record in 1972 olympic games in front of Hitler. What the fuck?!

 

[fender]

Catalina Ponor is a nice sight at the gymnastics.

 

[fender]

The twins representing Brazil at the synchronised swimming, definitely tuning in now.

You represent everything a feminist would hate.

 

[Bobby]

Glad track is finally on.

 

[fender]

You represent everything a feminist would hate.

Not a fan of them anyway.

The US women's football team knocked out on penalties, didn't expect that. Hope Solo changing gloves during the shootout that's a new distraction tactic.

 

[Bobby]

Katie Ledecky is incredible.

 

[fender]

Yeah smashed the world record in such dominant fashion.

And well done Schooling in the 100m fly beating Phelps, Le Clos and Cseh. My country's first ever Olympic gold! Woohoo!!!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, that's really cool. Kid returns to University as a millionaire because of a sponsorship incentive too.

 

[fender]

Deserves every single cent imo, cost his parents a bomb to send him to the States to train and study.

This is more satisfying a win for the country since he's born and bred.

Considering the recent sliver/bronze Olympic medals the country has won from imported table tennis players from China who get incentives from winning their medals as well. Not even sure if they can sing the national anthem (its in Malay btw)

 

[Arnau]

Bolt
