British sports beginning in earnest today... First cycling gold in the bag, rugby sevens final soon!

Great performance in 7s but that team sprint medal is just a steal. I'm a bit disappointed to see that track cycling like this.


How do you mean, a steal? Fiji are damn scary. Let's see how it goes!

Absolutely rekt, haha.

Why do people that can't ignore doping even watch sport events?


Because the competition is still interesting regardless. It's not like the fact that many athletes are doping makes for poor viewing. It just sucks from an integrity standpoint that you're more or less 'punished' for trying to compete honestly.

There's a lot of shitty side effects of large international events like this - doping, political shitshows, complaints about venues, general bad blood. Prevent those when you can, but realize that they are part of the event and don't react with a disproportionate outrage that ruins things for everyone.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

Congrats Fiji! This Olympics has rally opened up my eyes to Rugby.

I'll still prefer NFL over Rugby, but this is a damn awesome sport that I'll try to start following.

I don't see too many people acting with outrage. In the places I do, it's where people see large scale potential mass cheating. That, to me, is a reasonable thing to be upset over.

Gold at women's team epee, Romania's first medal. Feel bad for US, the match against them was by far the hardest but they only finished 5th cause we met in the quarterfinals.

The flying point near the end of the final was incredible, top right here:



Edit, better photo of the jump touch:

Congrats. I was sad today to realise that Larisa Iordache was injured my favourite gymnast.

90% of the booing is just for fun, there is no real hatred behind it, I can guarantee that.

Except for the argentinians, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

How the fuck can Brazilian swimmers have such low resilience?

Every
Single
Time

Brazilian swimmers die in the last 15 meters. Is there any other explanation than bad training? "resources" doesn't work, because government invested a ton of money in swimming and judo these olympics.

Edit: I firmly believe we will close this olympics with the worst host performance in history.

Pretty sure he gets tested all the time. Gotta believe it until proven otherwise!

A lot of 4th and 5th place for them

Could be the team strategy to give all at the start and then try to keep the lead. The best swimmers sometime do the opposite and keep resource for the last 30-20 meters to do a last push.

phelps proably has samples frozen and tested for the next 20 years so unless the americans have the CIA change the samples, you would hear about him cheating.
