Rio de Janeiro 2016 - Games of the XXXI Olympiad

[Northern Goblin]

Solo tries to ice on penalty kicks then calls the other team on sportsmanship? Oh man the irony.

Australia had the wrong gameplan for that Pursuit final, they blew early hoping to force the British to change their game plan. Except this is probably the most disciplined cycling team out there.

Ledecky is to women's swimming what the Williams sisters are to women's tennis. She'll transform how they train and utilise technique in performance, groundbreaking stuff.

Van Rijsselberghe wins gold in windsurfing before the medal-event even started. Same as in London 2012.
Schippers was doing a Bolt in the women's 100 m.

Wow. Just...

[Demoncrash]

Good stuff.

All British final coming up in the Men's sprint at the Velodrome.

I'd say it's unfair how good we are at Cycling then I see how many medals the Americans get for swimming.

Shame that the IOC limits the number of cycling events. Given that the host country has to build a velodrome 10 events is pretty mean. Should include the madison, kilo and individual pursuit.

Also my boy Cav is up tomorrow.

[Northern Goblin]

I miss the Madison, the Kilo was dull to watch.

Individual pursuit is the best singles event at the velodrome. Love it more than the sprint.

I always found the kilo to be very exciting, I remember shouting at the TV with my family when Hoy won in Greece.

Michael Phelps's supposed final race ever will be tonight, in about 25 minutes.

[Crissi]

A brilliant run by Mo Farrah.

What I find shocking is in an age of cell phone cams and fappening leaks and all kinds of shit that proves that privacy is a fairytale illusion...not a single sex video, or any pics have escaped from the Olympic Village, even though at least 75% of them are highly sexually active and boning the fuck out of each other (literally). I mean shit, I would pay money for a peak at some of those women.

Go Thiam (heptathlon women)! Biggest surprise in Belgium for her getting this far and to be in the running for a Gold medal !

she probably got lots of practice running away from refugees... jk

i'm glad our Canadian woman got bronze in the heptathlon category, its not silver or gold but it was still a decent accomplishment from our country. normally we suck at summer Olympics.

[Northern Goblin]

Thiam set 6 personal bests to take that gold. That's the definition of bringing your a game.

Britain are currently ahead of China in the medal table, Max Whitlock with two individual gymnastics medals, Justin Rose winning the golf. Gold number fourteen is guaranteed in the cycling later, and Andy Murray is up soon.

As I wrote that Britain won another gold medal in sailing.

Kinda slow here. (Aussie here) Mack Horton won gold medal, good on him! But reading all the tweets and media about his comment to Sun Yang, I don't feel like cheering for him. Looking at both sides, I rather stay neutral and just watch other Australian Olympic athletes.

Sun Yang is a giant cockhead. Whatever he gets, he has it coming.

And they have a race left which he can completely suck at because it's irrelevant at this point. That's domination.

Speaking of which, women's sprint cycling seedings are in after qualifying, #1 and #2 are British, just like their male counterparts.
