Lol!

Seriously tho, who let North Korea into the games...



Why not. Olympics has nothing to do with politics if that is your explanation for why.


Olympics SHOULD NOT have anything to do with politics but in reality its not true. Its obvious when you look at the games that were held during the cold war.

A good lesbian kiss between the fencer from Germany and the Ukraine fencer. I bet the german will become foreign minister and the Ukraine fencer will end up in jail.
The ukrainian won btw.

Would you believe that my little high school in the middle of country-side in upstate NY had handball... great game. Unfortunately, not popular here in the States. Absolutely a blast to play.

I love watching footy, but it sucks staying up till 3 or 4 am to watch games

Anyone know if cavendish or wiggins are going back to the track or are the two disiplines completely segregated?

They are getting ripped to shreds in the media, I think the fact that they were so cocky about their chances has made it worse. especially the star swimmer Magnussen is really quite cocky, they thought they were unbeatable and they weren't even close, it was a total choke.

Even leading the South Korean Handball coach looks stressed during breaks.

Was pretty bad that Magnussen talked up going for a WR on the first leg and completely bombed.

Ruta Meilutyte accepting her gold medal may well end up being my favourite moment from this Olympics

what a special and emotional moment for her.

On their behalf, fuck you!

They didn't work that hard and make that goddamn awesome performance, that you wouldn't be able with all the steroids in the world, for you to shittalk about politics instead of sports.

Did they actually fail any drug test? Can you prove any of the nonsense you're saying? Give the men some damn respect, they definitely earned it.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

The handball discussion brings to mind Bill Simmons' amusing article I read this morning.
