lol seriously. lochte nation? you must mean your family because nobody else in the world gives a shit about swimming outside of 2 weeks every 4 years

USA puts up 49 points in the first quarter (mens BB)

This is bullshit. RLM showed Nigeria was the smart play

Harden plays defense.

I'm extremely glad this is the last time I have to listen to this dolty gymnastics commentator. Not only does he have the most annoying voice ever, his score predictions are consistently terrible. Wtf is this guy doing on TV?

that's becuse they're too busy raping the medical/engineering fields; things that matter

True, but the overseas call centers might suffer then.

true, would suck not to have tech support on my pc during the olympics

such bullshit if UK doesnt lose their medal. FTR, 4 teams of badminton got disqualified for cheating and for me this is exactly the same thing

The British cycling team's opening-night Olympic gold medal is under the spotlight, after one of its riders admitted to deliberately crashing to force a restart.
Philip Hindes crashed early in the qualifying round of the men's team sprint against Germany, with competition rules allowing for a restart of the race.
German-born Hindes told reporters after the race he had crashed deliberately because Great Britain had got away to a poor start.
He said the strategy had been discussed prior to the race.
First man Hindes seemed to have trouble with his front wheel and crashed after a quarter of a lap in the race against Germany.
After Britain were allowed to restart, Hindes made a cannonball opening to perfectly launch his team.
Britain then went on to win the heat and retain the men's track cycling team sprint title, beating France in the final.
"We were saying if we have a bad start we need to crash to get a restart," Hindes was quoted as saying by British newspapers on Thursday.
"I just crashed. I did it on purpose to get a restart ... it was all planned really."
However, speaking after the team went on to win the gold medal, Hindes seemed to correct himself, saying he merely lost control of his bike and crashed.
Hindes, 19, switched his allegiance from Germany to Britain two years ago.
British Cycling team officials blamed the controversy on his lack of fluency in English, saying it was "lost in translation".
The International Cycling Union confirmed the result was not in question, but the incident follows closely on the heels of the women's badminton doubles scandal that erupted earlier this week.
Eight players - four from South Korea and two from China and Indonesia - were expelled from the Olympics for throwing matches in a bid to secure more favourable draws in the knockout stages later in the tournament.

You're not going to get the gold. Forget about it

Why did Lochte's dad have on a tie like he was showing up to the meet after a busy day of work?

im getting so sick of people compairing lochte to phelps. lochte is great but phelps is fucking unreal.
guy on the news ranting about costas not being on time

yeah, that badminton thing compares somewhat to pool play in football when a draw is good for both teams to advance and they play passively for the draw. obviously not the same thing exactly but it's clearly an acceptable strategy for some sports but not for others.

it's pretty shitty for the badminton teams though, they shoulda come up with a different solution. this has happened in the past and no one was DQed, I doubt those teams thought there was any chance of being DQed or they play for real. or less obviously throw important points.

tired of hearing phelps is the "greatest Olympic champion ever" simply 'cause he won the most medals. not his fault but it sucks.
