Love the summer olympicsSummer Olympics kick the Winter Olympics ass. Other than a few sports (any of the luge/bobsled sports, hockey, speed skating, and ski jumping) the Winter Olympics suck but I'll watch the crap out of anything in the Summer.

Curling is my favorite olympic sport of all
Best summer Olympics sport: Pick one of either track and field, swimming or basketball.
Most underrated summer Olympics sport: Fencing. Cuz come on, who doesn't like two dudes fighting with sharp objects?
Worst summer Olympics sport: Definitely synchronized swimming.
So excited! :excited:
Really excited for another summer of Shawn Johnson on my tv screen
watching her and the other gymnasts just amazes me. not because of their flexibility, flips, etc.... but that they're like 4'8" and stuff, and not considered dwarfs or little people or w/e. then i look at team china and think "are they 4 or were they bound during puberty?"Really excited for another summer of Shawn Johnson on my tv screen

Guess it's a good thing that NBC's tape-delaying all this crap then so that people who work can watch it when they get home on their TVs instead of trying to watch it on their employer's computers. Kind of sucks for the people who are gonna be home and were hoping to watch some high hurdles instead of their usual soaps I guess.

16-Year-Old Chinese Girl Swam A Faster 50 Meters Than Ryan Lochte
Barry Petchesky
Ye Shiwen didn't just break the world record for the 400m individual medley. She smashed it, by more than a second. She beat silver medalist Elizabeth Beisel by nearly three seconds. She shaved more than seven seconds off her own mark at the World Championships last summer.
And perhaps most stunningly, the final 50 meters of Ye's swim were faster than Ryan Lochte's final 50m, when he took gold in the men's version on Saturday.
Ye's fellow swimmers sounded incredulous enough, and BBC presenters went even further. But it was U.S. coach and executive John Leonard who fired the first doping shots across the Chinese's bow.
"We want to be very careful about calling it doping," Leonard said. "The one thing I will say is that history in our sport will tell you that every time we see something, and I will put quotation marks around this, 'unbelievable', history shows us that it turns out later on there was doping involved. That last 100m was reminiscent of some old East German swimmers, for people who have been around a while. It was reminiscent of 400m individual medley by a young Irish woman in Atlanta."
That young Irish woman was Michelle Smith, who in 1996 had Ireland's second-best ever medal haul, and similarly dominated in the 400 IM, just before her career was done in by a series of failed drug tests.
Leonard added that Ye
"looks like Superwoman. Any time someone has looked like Superwoman in the history of our sport they have later been found guilty of doping."
Leonard points out that the Chinese swim program has something of a history of doping, dating back to the 1994 World Championships and running through the 2008 Junior Championships. Ye was straight-up asked about the cleanliness of her urine, and replied that "the Chinese team keep very firmly to the anti-doping policies, so there is absolutely no problem."
This is a thorny issue, and I'm not sure there's a respectful way to "I'm not saying she doped, but there's no way she should have been able to perform like that without doping" without it sounding like sour grapes. Especially if you're an American, since an American swimmer came in second. BUT: that was one really, really fast goddamn swim.

Great Britain had the silver and then Japan said "Nope, denied, here's a hundy!" and the score was over turned. Japan silver in men's gymnastics and GB fell to bronze.

Yeah, but if I were judging and saw that they only handed me $100, I would laugh in their poor faces. This is the olympics after all. They could either hand me a stack of benjamins, or GTFOOMF. I would hand them their denial with a smile.

I thought the same thing. Supposedly the fee is designed to discourage "capricious" challenges. But $100? I assume one of the gymnasts shook that out of somewhere indecent in the lockers. That's couch change.

Also, the void Phelps is going to leave in the sport when he is done this year is one that Lockte(SP) will not be able to fill up by giving himself nicknames or buying grills. It will def be like golf w/o tiger.

We're going to fistfuck them in track
Welp, it was great to see us overtake the Chinese in totals medals and tie in Golds. Got 4 swimming golds up for grabs today, among others.
We should do really well in the team sports (bball, volleyball, soccer, etc.) and well in Track&Field. I believe the Chinese are generally garbage - unless their runners are roided up like that 15yo girl/man swimmer.
So, are we going to run away with this medal count or do the Chinamen have a lot of pingpong and karate in the second half of the games???
Anybody broken this down?
Just heard on ESPN that Roger Goodell and the NFL are trying to make American Football an Olympic sport...

The sad resonance of diver Wu Minxia’s story after she won the gold in 3-meter springboard was a confirmation of what skeptics would’ve already assumed about China’s Olympics program: that it swallows humans and forces them to behave as robots. Her father revealed to a Shanghai newspaper that he and his wife had concealed the mother’s breast cancer from the daughter for eight years. Also, they’d not told the daughter that her grandparents had died more than a year ago. “We accepted a long time ago that she doesn’t belong entirely to us,” Wu Yuming said. “I don’t even dare to think about things like enjoying family happiness.”

Limestone is in charge of tryouts, but if I had to guess we will start practicing 2 or 3 weeks before the 2016 games. That should be enough time, right? Since we're all EMAWs and thus have god-given talent superior to anyone else...

not saying they're not athletes. just not sure about "world class."
For instance, I think Lebron James could practice Volleyball in a gym for 1 year and, arguably, he would be a dominant volleyball player. The reverse is not true. Hence, Lebron James is world class athlete and our volleyballers are very good athletes.
I hate how the US men refuse to do anything but hit outside. I guess our middle hitters don't have arms.scheming
i think you're opening up a can of worms. are golfers world class atheletes? because i'm pretty sure lebron couldn't practice golf for a year and be a dominant golfer. what about divers? i mean they just climb up a ladder and jump into a pool. are they world class atheletes? could lebron practice their sport for a year and be one of the best?

I don't really know. case by case basis, I guess? I'd say athletic ability is combination of physical prowess and also skill. To me, a gymnast is the gold standard. then I work down from there. I'd say that Tiger is a worldclass athlete b/c he's f'n jacked is also very skilled. Is Phil bitch-tits Mickelson also world class, athletically? I want to say no, because whiel incredibly skilled, he doesn't appear to be much more physically superior than the average guy on the street. Divers are basically gymnasts + water, so I'd say they're world class.
Looking at volleyball, though, I see the skill set as being very similar to basketball. I think many NBA bballers could play volleyball professionally, not the other way around. Therefore, as I consider NBAers world class athletes, I necessarily can't view volleyballers as world class too. Clearly, one class is superior to the other class, IMO.
lebron is the best basketball player to have ever lived. trying to suggest that he could stop playing basketball during the peak of his career and dedicate himself to volley ball (a sport with very similar but more limited skill sets) and be good at it, does not in any way lessen the athletic attributes/abilities of the volleyball players.
also, you're trying to say that some golfers are world class atheletes while others aren't. phil is one of the best at his sport ever. ever. you're going to tell me that he isn't a world class athelete just because he isn't as ripped as other people in his sport. is a ripped golfer that hasn't won a major a world class athelete but phil isn't? gmafb. is prince fielder not a world class athelete, but johnny giavotella is?
also, i bet a lot of gymnasts could be divers but not the other way around, so you might want to rethink your philosophy on that. divers are not world class atheletes. sorry bub.
If it was so easy to jump from gymnastics to diving or basketball to volleyball, why doesn't anyone do it? You would think the USOC would recruit some fringe Olympic basketball players to play volleyball and kick ass if it was that easy.

i don't know about gymnastics or diving. But, with basketball and volleyball, I think a lot of fringe basketball players would make the transition if there was money to be made. I wikid Matt Anderson, one of our stars, and he left college early to play pro ball in Korea and Russia. Just not a very big sport in the US. No money in it for most guys.

Agreed. The talent pool is larger in basketball in the USA because the $$$ pool is larger. I would guess that some players from basketball could make the transition to volleyball if they wanted to, but then again, look at how changing sports worked for MJ, one of the greatest athletes ever. Granted baseball has a huge talent pool also, but I don't think it would be simple for anyone to transition between sports, especially at an olympic level.
But then I think of people like Destinee Hooker. Who could compete in either the high jump or volleyball at the olympics.
So basically we should just get Lebron to retire from the NBA and start playing volleyball so we can settle this argument. :grin:

Spoiler: USA gets silver in women's beach volleyball
BOOM! 79-76 USA! Suck it China!We are still behind in Golds. Lots of work left to do Dobs
What ever we are ahead in is what you want to be ahead in. Once we are ahead in golds, then they can suck it some more. Right now, it is more important to win more overall medals.BOOM! 79-76 USA! Suck it China!We are still behind in Golds. Lots of work left to do Dobs
I feel like we could win a million medals today you guysWell we can't, but I love your enthusiasm SD. We were with Kynard when he shocked the world and we will be together when we crush the ChiComs under our gold medals and beautiful smiles.
OMG they said the first diver used to be a gymnast. She is going to win on athleticism and then give a very robotic interview.
i don't know about gymnastics or diving. But, with basketball and volleyball, I think a lot of fringe basketball players would make the transition if there was money to be made. I wikid Matt Anderson, one of our stars, and he left college early to play pro ball in Korea and Russia. Just not a very big sport in the US. No money in it for most guys.
Agreed. The talent pool is larger in basketball in the USA because the $$$ pool is larger. I would guess that some players from basketball could make the transition to volleyball if they wanted to, but then again, look at how changing sports worked for MJ, one of the greatest athletes ever. Granted baseball has a huge talent pool also, but I don't think it would be simple for anyone to transition between sports, especially at an olympic level.
But then I think of people like Destinee Hooker. Who could compete in either the high jump or volleyball at the olympics.
So basically we should just get Lebron to retire from the NBA and start playing volleyball so we can settle this argument. :grin:

Skill and repetition is a lot more requisite in baseball than other sports. Being athletic is a great advantage, but pure athletic prowess isn't as much of a golden ticket in baseball as it is in, say, football.
The decathlon brings into question the validity of it's claim to "the world's greatest athlete." Is it? I think it may be the best test, though I'm not at all convinced that the greatest athletes participate in the event.
For biggest badass of the olympics, I'm going with Abby Wambach.I think she would do most anything of what it would take to win.

Ashton Eaton can run a 10.21. That would have been good enough to qualify for the semifinals in London.
Usain Bolt would have to put a lot of work into the decathlon to be at an elite level. Somebody like Eaton could make a transition to the 100m faster than a 100m sprinter could transition to the decathlon.
I did a little figuring and took the top 8 scores from each event in the decathlon, averaged them, and then put them up against either top 8 finishers each of the individual events' Olympic final. Some events have yet to take place so I used the finishes from the 2011 World Championships for those instead.
The Individual event scores will be posted first followed by the decathlon scores.
100m - 9.83 to 10.57
Long Jump - 26.57 to 25
Shot Put - 69.46 to 50.62
High Jump - 7.57 to 6.76
400m - 44.68 to 48.12
110m hurdles - 13.26 to 13.71
Discus - 219.52 to 166.34
Pole Vault - 19.06 to 17.29
Javelin - 269.91 to 221.16
1500m - 3:35.4 to 4.22.96
While not "world class" for their individual events these are still pretty tremendous scores in each event. Keep in mind the decathletes also complete 5 events over the course of two days while most individual performers compete in only one event per day and often only one event per meet.
It is to be considered also that an individual decathlete will vary in strengths from man to man, but I figured a top 8 average (the number of runners in a sprint final) would be the best option.
It would be interesting to see how the greatest sprinters would stack up in a decathlon. I doubt that the other specialists would far well at all, but a certain number of sprinters I think would do well with training (I don't think Bolt would be one of them as he just doesn't seem built for many of the events.

We are destroying China. Get gold & silver in decathlon
Bring out the clown suits. dominating faces right now.
5 golds (boxing, triple jump, soccer, water polo, decathlon)
3 silvers (swim, triple jump, decathlon)
2 bronze (boxing, something else)
Gotta think we've got the total medal count wrapped up. Don't know about golds, though. Seems like there are still plenty of worthless sports out there for the Chinamen to medal in.
We've probably get a few golds in T&F remaining and then team Golds in M&W basketball, maybe women's volleyball?

Equestrian seems more ridiculous as an olympic event.
Equestrian - how come the horse doesn't get the medal instead of the human? The horse had to run around and jump over stuff with a human on its back.
One of those players on russia's women's bball team has very, VERY hair armpits.
Another former hurdler Balazs Baji showed true sportsmanship following his race. Baji competed K-State for one year in 2010 before transferring, and this year he qualified for the Olympics for his native Hungary. After his opening round race Tuesday, Baji waited at the finish line for the former world record holder and Olympic champion Liu Xiang of China. Liu fell over the first hurdle in the lane next to Baji with an apparent Achilles injury and later hopped to the finish line outside the lanes, stopping to kiss the final hurdle. When he reached the finish line, Baji was waiting to raise the former champion's hand in the air. Baji finished in a tie for 34th with his time of 13.76 seconds.

Yup, 2012 Olympics was yet another victory over Communism. Suck it hard, China and Russia.The only way Communism wins is if it fights Communism.
It was a victory over foreigners in general.

Vapid, conceited, self-absorbed, and narcissistic. There was a study done that directly correlated the amount of selfies a girl posts with their level of self-esteem. The higher the amount of selfies the lower their self-esteem. It's obvious that McKayla is starving for attention after her drop from the public lime-light post olympics.
Hopefully she'll come to realize that posting cleavage and pouty lips on instagram puts her in the category of every other clueless and vapid girl with low self-esteem/daddy issues.
Does she own a bra?

It's not like she had 5 years to get mentally ready for the Olympics. This is probably more on the coaches than anything.

It's not just that for me, and I'll start this by saying she's an amazing athlete, one of the best if not the best OAT regardless of this decision, and I can kinda of see the whole when you know or can tell you're off, letting them know something isn't right and feeling like not competing is better than competing may just indeed be the best path forward, and I'm also not going to discount her at all, I can't imagine the pressure of being basically the face of this olympics for Team USA, has to be brutal.
That all being said, it's an unbelievable gut punch to her team and teammates to do that, you're the ringer, you're the ace. This is like Lebron, or Brady, or Mahomes or whoever just deciding right in the clutch moment to not perform and not be that clutch person and walk off the field and be like "you know I feel off, I'm just going to sit this out." Her (and their) entire life has revolved around that sport, the hours, practice, determination, everything, true competitors get to that level because they want to be there, so to just up and not want it is just astounding to me. It's such a departure from what makes elite athletes (or really anyone who is elite) tick. Be it artists, musicians, or any top notch professional. And if that feeling of burnout and self doubt no doubt exists in their psyche, but to have others count on your, and pull that rug out right at the moment you are set to perform what you've worked your whole life for, if not for you, do it for your teammates. It's a bitterly disappointing move from such a big star.
I do think though there is going to be a pretty juicy back story to come to light from this, it won't be pretty, I doubt she arrived at that decision organically, I wonder what machinations are going on behind the scenes....

It's not just that for me, and I'll start this by saying she's an amazing athlete, one of the best if not the best OAT regardless of this decision, and I can kinda of see the whole when you know or can tell you're off, letting them know something isn't right and feeling like not competing is better than competing may just indeed be the best path forward, and I'm also not going to discount her at all, I can't imagine the pressure of being basically the face of this olympics for Team USA, has to be brutal.
That all being said, it's an unbelievable gut punch to her team and teammates to do that, you're the ringer, you're the ace. This is like Lebron, or Brady, or Mahomes or whoever just deciding right in the clutch moment to not perform and not be that clutch person and walk off the field and be like "you know I feel off, I'm just going to sit this out." Her (and their) entire life has revolved around that sport, the hours, practice, determination, everything, true competitors get to that level because they want to be there, so to just up and not want it is just astounding to me. It's such a departure from what makes elite athletes (or really anyone who is elite) tick. Be it artists, musicians, or any top notch professional. And if that feeling of burnout and self doubt no doubt exists in their psyche, but to have others count on your, and pull that rug out right at the moment you are set to perform what you've worked your whole life for, if not for you, do it for your teammates. It's a bitterly disappointing move from such a big star.
I do think though there is going to be a pretty juicy back story to come to light from this, it won't be pretty, I doubt she arrived at that decision organically, I wonder what machinations are going on behind the scenes....
Yeah, and the mental health issues that did lead her to leave her team in the biggest moment, have to be deeper than something that can be fixed in a week. It will be interesting if she comes back for the individual events and just kills it.
Pretty horrible day for the USOC. The softball women lost in the gold medal game and Simone Biles just said, "nah, I'm good."The discourse around this is really strange too. Mental health is important, but pretending this is a good thing is total nonsense. ESPN called her “the ultimate teammate” after quitting on her team, because she cheered and got them chalk.
Very well said mir.Yes
Isnt 24 really old for gymnastics??

Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro are like the perfect storm of:
a) people I believe I could beat the crap out of irl while wearing flip flops
b) people that need the living crap beat out of them irl.

thanks MiR. was gonna say there were some really shitty takes flying around ITT
eff, Katie Ledecky didn't medal either. Today in Japan is starting just as shitty as yesterday was. Good on Carissa Moore hooking up that surfing gold though, happy for her. Concast had a congrats commercial ready, that was cool.I think she won? Or was that an alert for a different race? She won the 1500

I think a lot of people either don't know or forgot about her being assaulted by Nasser. I am also certain that people didn't know that Strug actually didn't need to do that vault, didn't know the nature of her injury, at the time we thought it was "just" a sprained ankle, and I'm definitely sure 99.95% of casual Olympics watchers, even those who are devoted sports fans don't know about the Karoli's history of physical and mental a use of their gymnasts.

So I just watched the actual competition, it's pretty obvious that if she continued she was going to hurt herself. It got to the point where it was legitimately dangerous for her to be performing, she looked awful in the two vaults she did. She literally bailed midair on both attempts and rolled out her landing on the first one, literally had to roll because her landing was so poor.

For the record, I was never saying Simone removing herself for her mental issues was bogus, or inappropriate. She should have done what she did. I think her coaches failed big time in getting her ready. Obviously the Olympic women's gymnastic coaches are giant POS, so it's not surprising, but the pressure on her to perform and win in 2020 started immediately after she did so in 2016. There needs to be more attention put on them for not getting her mentally ready, imo. And then them coming out and saying she is going to get professional help in Japan and come back in less than a week and compete was ridiculous.

Team handball is pretty great. Looks like a lot of fun to play.

What is can't miss for the remaining week? Obviously women's soccer if the ladies pull this game out. Still live in basketball. Water polo? Volleyball? What you got?

relay swimming is really fun as a tv sport. even more fun when your team is king kong on swim steroids. USA is incredibly young, we can expect ass whippings and world records for probably as long as most of us will give a crap.
We have the best chemists.
Taiwanese golfers Xander Schauffele and CT Pan taking gold and bronze :Woot:Congrats Stunz! That's awesome
i don’t think Canada even had a shot on goal before that (p sure they ended up just having one late). when crap paused later the thought never even crossed my mind of that getting calledWhen watching it live it looked more like a foul on the Canadian player.
I'm excited to see the women's 400M hurdles final.
The guy from Italy who won the 100M looked like he could play linebacker in the NFL. Without Usain Bolt, the 100M is kinda boring. His 100M win in Beijing was one of the 2-3 most amazing things I've seen in sports.
That's the weird thing about swimming. Is there any other sport where someone could win 8 medals (let alone gold) in one Olympics? It seems like the different swimming events just test the same set of skills over and over. In track and field, getting 3+ medals is pretty rare. Not saying that Phelps' swimming wasn't amazing but I enjoyed Bolt a lot more.I'm excited to see the women's 400M hurdles final.

The Beijing Olympics had several great moments, that being one. The other was the come from behind relay for Phelps to be able to 8 golds. Most intense swim I've ever seen.
A gymnast can win six (beam, bars, vault, floor, all around and team). The medleys that Phelps won require four different swimming strokes so I don't know how fair it is to say it's the same set of skills.That's the weird thing about swimming.

This was a great watch. The American in 2nd has to be pretty disappointed at getting 2nd with a time that would've been a WR at the beginning of the day.

Watching the race it's even more impressive if you look at the last 2 hurdles and the ground she made up.https://twitter.com/CBSSports/status/1422750952692535300
Woah

Why three jumps, why not two or four?
Historical sources on the ancient Olympic Games occasionally mention jumps of 15 meters or more. This led sports historians to conclude that these must have been a series of jumps, thus providing the basis for the triple jump.[2] However, there is no evidence for the triple jump being included in the ancient Olympic Games, and it is possible that the recorded extraordinary distances are due to artistic license of the authors of victory poems, rather than attempts to report accurate results
I haven't caught too much of the olymics this year but i've managed to catch a good amount of short track speed skating and it seems like every time china doesn't win a race they go to the review and determine that someone else cheated and china automatically wins. It was kind of impressive trying to hear the commentators explain it in a diplomatic way like there was some chinese general standing behind their shoulder letting them know to choose their words carefully.Yeah I’ve soured on speed skating because of how DQs can change the entire thing well after the fact. I would however note for the record that almost all the US announcers are working out of Connecticut or something like that.
