Olympics Rio '16
- Thread starter Kooky Kats_anon
- Start date
The guy that ran the first leg actually lost ground on the Jamaicans. We were done at that point.
Actually passed it to soon. Said you can't start handing it off until past the yellow line but we were starting to before it, but we didn't finish handing it off until after it. I guess it doesn't matter. At least that is what I understood of the rule.
Russian female wrestler loses and gets hit in face twice by head dick of Russian Wrestling Federation. Damned ole Ruskys!

:americanflag:USA up to 108 medals:
38 Gold, 35 Silver, 32 Bronze
38 Gold, 35 Silver, 32 Bronze
LOL oops
my math was never very good, or maybe I was just jumping the gun
silly typo, LOL
After watching the women get the gold, I was wondering if the coaches get a medal as well. While looking it up I came across this picture.
I forgot all about this picture. I just find it funny that Tayshaun was the only one not letting Coach K wear his medal. I'm sure it was a spur of the moment thing that he was late getting to, but I prefer to think of it as him not wanting that dirty Dukie touching his medal. [laughing]

Matt Centrowitz is the first American to win men's Olympic 1500m gold since 1908.

I am convinced Tom Hammond and the rest of the track and field commentators have never seen a tattoo before.
OHMUHGAWD, HAVE YOU GUIZE SEEN MATT CENTRIFUGE'S TAH-TEW? LIKE FATHER LIKE SON. ON HIZ CHEST. HIZ DADDY DONT LIKE IT THOUGH.
And then later when talking about the other American in the 1500, the dude talking about him just throws out that he has tattoos, including the state of Mimnesota on his thigh.

Good night for our men's and women's track team. :americanflag::americanflag::americanflag:
*Yawn*
Go USA!
I partied my *** off in England, back in '84, while that **** was going down.
Go USA!
Race of the night! Impressive performance indeed.
Hell, back in the day, Russians and East Germans were the REAL evil empire. We won. Be happy.
Tremendous showing by the USA! Only 4 potential medal events left, Men's basketball (gold/silver), Men's volleyball (bronze) and outside shots at the marathon (slim) and mountain bike (unlikely). They'll probably just miss their gold medal haul from London 4 years ago but MAN their overall medal count is amazing! Plus they'll win by a wide margin in both total medals and gold medals. Well done!
Gentlemen, I have been there. They talk **** we lose.
We are winners! Go USA!
We are winners! Go USA!
I thought Matt Lauer was a bit of a douche too. According to Matt, someone holding a gun on you may just be negotiating a settlement.
Generally easier to negotiate a favorable settlement when you have a gun in your hand and the other party doesn't.
I say make it interesting and empty the goals and take the shoot outs from the full length of the field. Whoever makes the most out of 3 shots a piece wins or the first to make it if no shots are made in the first 3 attempts. That or put 2 goalies in to make it harder to score.
I don' t watch the news constantly, but I have't seen much discussion about this dilemma for the women.
Not sure what the fair thing to do here is, but that being said, the 800M final for women and she/males was a big joke.
Or....keep playing until someone scores.
I find it extremely difficult to like anything about the sport. Starting with the multiple episodes of grown men throwing themselves to the ground and (fake) crying like little girls after every contact. Also the low scores and high possibility of a draw, about 30% of the time. And then settling the draw with a skills competition. Just keep playing until someone scores. Legs will eventually get tired and someone WILL score a goal to win it.
