Rio 2016 Summer Olympics

[Jairzinho]

My impression regarding Chinese athletes is that they're made to train for 23 hours a day, and beaten to within an inch of their life if they fuck anything up, as opposed to them all being on drugs.

Yeah, was saying to someone in work that their human rights record makes me think they flog them to death in training.

And kill their families if they don't win

The women getting their arses handed to them in the 7s by Canada. 33-10 as I type.

Was it Doctor Troy that remarked on the number of 4the places?

[RedKnight]

Aye, send north and they don't come back.

[Redder Lurtz]

Fowler getting hammered here.

[Strontium]

I know I did.

 

I shouldn't criticise really, there is no shame at being the fourth best in the world at doing something really cool.

[Bjornebye]

I couldn't give a fuck about this Olympics. Not sure why. I might watch the beach volleyball.

[Redder Lurtz]

Yet another 4th, James Guy in the 200m freestyle.

[RoboRiise]

Just watched Lilly King beat Yefimova in the womens 100m breaststroke with one of the awesomely hate-fuelled performances I have ever seen in sport.  Great stuff.

[TheHowieLama]

How bout that synchronized diving (sic)?

[VladimirIlyich]

Its on in the background and is better to watch than a lot of daytime/afternoon/early evening telly but my interest lies at this coming weekend and most weekends until next May.

In terms of the stuff I've concentrated on,a bit,the BBC commentary strikes me as very underwhelming and not particularly interested.

Did have a smirk at some double barrel named toff fuck up his Equestrian event and him look pig sick while giving the interview. A bit like how we feel every time people of his type keep being elected into Parliament. Come on you horses.

If they had let a fox out on the course he wouldn't have been over his time allowance .

So great to see Phelps, a true white yank winning another of his clean olympic medals. Everyone should take example from him and all the white, yank drug free superathletes. Such a superior race. All the rest simply wish we were one of them.

The guy that who had the accident and was in a coma earlier in the year?

Has there ever been any suggestion/rumours that Phelps is juicing? I've never heard any and if he is clean, then for my money he is the greatest Olympian of all time. A truly phenomenal athlete.

Some Dutch gymnast has been sent home in disgrace for going out on the lash all night,the big daft get. He's 35 and has previously been banned for cocaine.

Why don't they have head protection in the boxing anymore for this?

They changed it to pro rules a while ago. No headgear and 10 point must system.

Interesting.  Would have thought in this day and age they'd want to make sports safer if anything.

Studies have shown that boxing with a headguard actually increases the likelihood of concussion.
