You take the Chinese diving team and I will take the Swiss beach volleyball team.
Olympics Rio '16
- Thread starter Kooky Kats_anon
- Start date
Ledecky has more of a receding hairline than I do.
However, if Brittany Griner and Anthony Davis aren't going to create a super-child, I nominate Phelps-Ledecky.

Thanks for posting. Excellent read. Wow she has a 39" vertical to add to her prowess.
Nice quote from article..
Usain Bolt is occasionally beaten. Serena Williams doesn’t win every Grand Slam title. Stephen Curry goes 5 for 20 now and again. But Ledecky has swum in 12 individual finals at major international meets, and has never lost.
“She’s the greatest athlete in the world today by far,”
I can't even imagine what it must feel like to stand on the podium with a gold medal and listen to the anthem
Was just thinking same. Impossible to not tear up. God Bless America!
Got a little dusty here at my place.
Olympics are boring. And the coverage is like a combo of the today show and American idol. I hate broadcast tv and my wife watching this **** just reinforces it.
You just can't beat the Olympics. Really the only time I ever care about 90% of these events, but man do I care. The swimming last night was incredible and about as patriotic as you can get in sports.
NBC with some great coverage other than the tape-delayed gymnastics and opening ceremonies. Some great swimming the next few days and once it's over, track and field starts.

Tell me there's someone in this thread who is hating on the Olympics.. :thumbsdown:
America cleaning up as usual.. Phelps and Ledecky (who's the truth).. Men's Basketball is rolling.. Ross filling in great for Misty.. Dude's legs are breaking..Russia still cheating (China probably gonna get caught for fielding 12 year olds again).. all the while everyone rooting against USA.
It's been great so far!

Have they mentioned anything about the round marks on some athlete's shoulders? Several swimmers and at least half of the male gymnasts have them.
I'm pretty pumped that US women's soccer is looking good for another gold. It has to just burn the other countries that soccer isn't anywhere near as big here, and our women kick ***.

Round marks are "cupping therapy" Circular sucking device to help muscle pains etc.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone in any other country cares at all.
Yeah it's that cupping therapy where they use heated glasses to increase circulation.
Personally, I'm not too excited for sports that I can see/hear about on a daily basis. Basketball is amusing because of how dominant they are, but soccer is still soccer for me. Neither really interest me that much.
Yet, ping-pong, volleyball, swimming, air rifle, gymnastics, rowing.. I'm on my feet yelling at the TV.

Good game in Women's volleyball, US pulled out a win over Netherlands.
US did spot them a lot of points from bad serves.

That was a fun match to watch. Some long rallies with some great digs. US needs to clean up the serves though going forward.
Kinda like seeing Hillary driving off a cliff in your new Cadillac.
They're starting to pull away now, but men's basketball got off to a slow start against Venezuela.
For those interested :
Lots of swimming gold medal races tonight, men's team gymnastics gold, womens volleyball versus China.
Men's water polo is on now, on some other network. Wouldn't mind checking that out.. It's a lot harder than it appears.

The Olympics are living proof that a man can only fap so much before he gets dehydrated and passes out.
It gets old fairly quickly. There's a lot of whistles for fouls and they mostly occur under the water, so it's hard to tell exactly what is happening. It's definitely a tough sport to play.
I'd definitely punch dudes in the dick under the water, out of sight from the cameras.
Gold or bust (their nuts).

If you can't root for USA because of Coach K...man, you have issues.
I dunno if he's set up for Hollywood or the porn scene?

yes, Boogie had a rough game, too.
Venezuela though - I hate how they play; they'll foul every chance they get it seems. It's effective in its own way, but incredibly frustrating to watch.
just got done watching some swimming - Ledecky came in 2nd, shockingly enough. But hubby mentioned she might have done just enough to qualify, but didn't pour it on as she usually does.
If you cannot discern when someone is being facetious you may have issues.
Except the female swimmers.. they ain't too great on the eyes. All that chlorine..
And is that the 2nd night in a row that Brazilian men's swimmer choked in the end?

Sure there's pretty nice broads on the beaches of Rio wearing less.
Damn that Hungarian chick is a fast swimmer.
