The only Olympic event that matters is men's basketball. As long as we kick ass and win the gold in that I'm happy.

I am actually excited to see at least a few guys that don't need a 10 dribble iso on the team in KD, Kawhi, and Klay. I do wish Karl Anthony-Townes was on the team, they really need a big that can shoot.

There is a phone game called Plague Inc that is really fun. The main point is you're a bacteria/virus/etc trying to infect and kill everyone on earth. One of the best ways to spread your disease is when the olympics happen. This game has been out for a few years, so my point is I agree with slobber, shut these fuckers down

Next to the Olympic Park, the problem is even worse. The Jacarepaguá Lagoon exhales bad odor, and could be a horrific display of dead fish. In September 2015, city officials took roughly 1 ton of dead fish from the water – and a similar thing could happen this year. The project to improve the condition of the lagoon is suspended, due to suspicions that corrupt companies had tampered with the bidding process.

i think it's a little different in that they don't play the world cup in sewage/killer bacteria infested waters. other than that, basically it's exactly the same except for the world cup hosts less than 1,000 athletes vs the 10,000+ for the summer olympics. but ignore that because math.

The man vomited on Shi, and the cameraman chased the man out of the hotel.
It turns out the drunk man was the first step of a clear plan. With Shi off cleaning himself up and the cameraman gone, someone stole both men's baggage as well as the cameraman's equipment. Inside The Games says surveillance footage shows Shi and the cameraman were victims of a "professional job."

Ugh, it was, you could see those 3 keep slowly, surely, and painfully get closer and eventually pass her like 250m from the end. Just has to be the worse feeling to come so close yet so far.

Yeah, just like track.
At least swimming has different strokes. Track should have some backward races or something.
-
These games have been pretty great so far. We might need a title change.
-
My DVR is full right now. So far I've only gotten to watch some men's gymnastics and women's springboard synchronized diving. (And a little bit of the opening ceremony where they built an IKEA airplane.)
Does this cupping thing really work for healing muscles or whatever?
-
Cupping works every bit as well as kinesiology tape.

Something. I do like swimming and track, but they got a lot of medals for rather specific sections of a very specific event. Doesn't lessen the excitement though
-
The Aussie men's basketball team is very fun to watch. They're the only other country besides Spain that can roll out a starting 5 of legitimate NBA players.
-
So what sports do you guys make sure to watch?
I have gymnastics, diving, and Tae Kwon Do set on my DVR; which is a lot more than I watched last time.

Swimming. Tonight's final with the Russian lady and Lilly King may start WW3 after last night. BTW.. it's pretty great that all the russians are getting booed.
...also weightlifting, gymnastics, trying diving but eh..
-
OK, did all the Russians get banned or what? Gooch told me that he read that all Russians are now banned - even para-Olympians. I never saw the story though.
-
no but the entire arena boo'd the crap out of the Ruskie relay team before Michael Phelps and 3 other stud Americans won another gold medal last night
-
OK, did all the Russians get banned or what? Gooch told me that he read that all Russians are now banned - even para-Olympians. I never saw the story though.
From my understanding, para-O's comittee put full ban in place. Olympic committee was banning certain people only but readmitted a few that tested positive previously but "served" some kind of punishment.
"With only athletics, rowing, weightlifting and canoeing taking a hard line, the final size of the Russian team was announced at 271.
But several Russian athletes, including the swimmer Yuliya Efimova, could also be readmitted after the court of arbitration for sport ruled that the IOC’s ban on those who had previously served sanctions would not be upheld."
Yuli swam last night and was boo'ed coming out by the entire center and ended up getting 1st in her semi, which she started wagging her finger at everyone. Then it zoomed in on US Lilly and she was wagging her finger back and then came out and beat her time by like a millisecond. So they will be heads up tonight pretty much.
-
yeah, gotta watch king vs efimova tonight. king went off about her last night and is def not a fan
-
Pretty much anything the US is dominant at (swimming, gymnastics, track) and all men's basketball is must watch for me.
-
"With only athletics, rowing, weightlifting and canoeing taking a hard line, the final size of the Russian team was announced at 271.
Isn't the whole Olympics athletics???? Did they add some e-sports that I didn't know about???

Touche. The important part of that sentence was that the final size of the team was 271. They were originally at like 390. So the majority wasn't banned, including those that specifically tested positive (efimova)

Too many service errors and bad passing (thus not getting a chance for a kill spike) and net violations as well
And then we don't hit their serve and it sneaks in by a foot for an ace. Followed by a service error of our own. That happened at 12-12 and 13-13. 2 Mental mistakes you just can't allow or chance in a tight set.

The US and Italy men's volleyball match is some really great play. I have it on in the background at my office.
-
In that 1st set, the USA men were trying to mimick the USA Women breakdown as they let a 15-8 and 21-17 lead slip away (lost 30-28). Anderson and Russel were bad early on. Anderson just 6/20 on spikes, Russel 7/17 with 3 spikes out of bounds.
But they have rebounded nicely so far. They were down 20-16 in the 2nd, rallied to win 28-26.
Now we are just spanking them in the 3rd. Got up 18-4. Won 25-9
We are up 2 sets to 1. 4th set just starting
-
Anderson is killing us. Up 22-20, he gets blocked for a point, then hits a spike out of bounds....this allowed Italy best server to keep serving bombs. He then got 3 straight aces. 6 straight pts for Italy and they win 25-22.
If Anderson just spikes that one in....its 23-21 us, just 2 pts away
But we are on to play the 5th set...
-
USA just choking all over themselves.
In the 5th set....
We have 3 service errors
Russel botched 2 float serves from Italy
We hit 2 spikes out of bounds
We watched an ace land in as 2 players couldn't decide who was gonna try and hit it
Russel watched a 50/50 ball land in ( cant do this). Don't let it land and set up for a spike
That was 9 of Italy's first 13 pts in the 5th. We just gave away the game with mental/physical miscues. Erie similar to USA women loss in Semis.
Men Lise 15-9 in the 5th. Anderson and Russel were pretty poor most of the match. Should have played Holt more

I thought the women had a collapse yesterday but the men raised the bar of late game awfulness.

Did our relay team make the final? The group that have to rerun their race?

The women made it - fastest qualifier but have to run from the shittiest lane

We've all been there. All along I've always thought he was just stupid more so than a liar.

Canary, use to coach high school volleyball, he said so it doesn't get caught in the net was the reason he was told. I think that's stupid.
If it were shorts and they dove and slid, wouldn't the shorts drag and roll off? I'm not doing much diving so don't really know?
This actually makes sense. I csn get behind this rationale.
Since we're doing volleyball topics I didn't address, we'll get back to this. No. Shorts have drawstrings in them that keep them up. I have worn shorts while playing volleyball for as long as I've been playing, all men wear shorts. There is no defensible or rational reason why women's volleyball uniforms look like they do.
-
I think this kind of stuff is largely dependent on what the athletes prefer to wear. Skirts in tennis, for example, are absolutely not mandatory. Women just like them because they think they're cuter or more feminine or whatever. That"s fine.

I wholeheartedly agree. That was just the best reason I could possibly imagine. I think it's to sex up the game and it is unnecessary.

If anything VB players (both hoots & dongs) should wear the compression leggings like nba players do

I suspected that he was so drunk/jazzed that he really just didn't know what had happened. And this takes that even further.

John Oliver showed some clips of Ryan Lochte (from his reality show?) last night and those have me fully convinced that he is just very, very dumb.
-
Yes, he's not very smart at all.

Ryan Lochte and Laurie Hernandez to be on Dancing with the Stars.

I cannot believe they left that [redacted] on the show.
-
It's kinda genius ratings wise if you think about it.

Some guys charged the stage to protest Lochte.

Power was cut from Rio's ghost-town Olympic stadium because of $930,000 in unpaid bills
Earlier in January, O Globo reported that Maracana is deserted with stray cats roaming the property. The field has dead grass, dry spots, and missing chairs while the inner hallways have a "smell of mold," with stolen furniture and leftover food at the bars.
