Zaboingo!

probably Jesus himself doing that vault.

Women's beach volleyball just ended it's live coverage about half an hour ago. This may be the only sport where both the competitors and spectators require a cold shower after it ends.

...wow. So, is everybody involved in boxing desperately trying to sell the sport for short term profit instead of trying to reform/grow it for long term success?

Lochte blows another lead

[kudymen]

Czech tennis at those olympics challenges Leighton in terms of "what the ****" performances

[Krishna]

Phelps wins another gold!

Boxing is so rigged it's scary.

Yeah. It's frustrating. Between the rigged fights and terrible home-ring judging advantages (cough...Montreal) it's really hard to take the sport seriously. It's a shame.

Is it a 50 point lead yet?

[RussianRocket10]

USA had 49 points and was 11 of 14 on three pointers in the first quarter.

After the 1st quarter, win by 100 points wouldn't surprise me, at least Nigeria manned up now... But 49 points in the 1st quarter, I was like

[Beef Invictus]

4****ing9!??

Screw it, go for 160 points.

[kudymen]

50 point lead, check. 111-58 at 2:46 to go in the 3rd... Carmelo Anthony shooting for 3, 10 of 12 successful so far.

I think I'm a witness of a ****.



Edit: writing "victim" instead of "witness" was epic typo.
Oh and I didn't realize such word is abandoned too

[kudymen]

156:73. I don't usually use such abbreviations but.. OMFG. If the Czech narrators are correct, only 2 guys from USA roster hadn't been succesful in 3 pt shooting.

[sobrien]

I don't care for basketball, but that was one of the most impressive showings I've seen in sports. They couldn't miss a basket. Good for them shattering all those records, hope they keep it up.

[Phileeguy]

Iggy was 3-3 on 3 pointers. I guess it's easier to drain them when he's not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th option.

Was looking at old olympic medal counts



We tore **** up

[Beef Invictus]

Likely because the '84 Olympics were boycotted by the USSR/Eastern Bloc.

The Olympics has me watching Tennis. Djokovic (Serbia) vs. Murray (Britain) has been a sick matchup, especially with Murray playing in front of the home crowd.
