Just wondering what your thoughts are on the Olympics.
Besides NBC's crap-fest coverage, I've enjoyed quite a bit of it so far. Swimming has been great, some of soccer has been entertaining, gymnastics not too bad and I've really liked volleyball (women's more than men's).
What are your thoughts?

GnarkillI think they should put a average person in each Olympic category for reference

Check this out Olympic lifting
OUCH!!!!
bigmurphDoes anyone know why this girl gabby Douglas looks so bitter. I was just watching the gymnastics and she looks misrebal. All the other girls on the team look so happy even when they got there gold medals she was in the picture not even looking near as happy as the others. Im curious if I missed something?
Also, some people don't lose well.
She was the star in 2012 and expected to do better in 2016. Even though she's still considered to be one of the top gymnasts in the world, people are very cruel. She's gotten nothing but unnecessary flack from social media, and it has apparently affected her. Gotta have a thick skin if you're going to be in the public eye. Easier said than done, I'm sure. Especially for a 20 year old.
bigmurphYeah you definitely need a thick skin especially being in the public eye. I think she did a great job she played her part in us winning gold. I was really surprised that she didn't seem happy. I would be extremely happy just getting that gold medal that I believe is around an ounce of gold.
She wanted to be in the individual all around but was 3rd and since only two people max from each country can go to the finals she was cut. She certainly looks bitter lol.
bigmurphYou saw it also i thought it might be that but she seems like she doesn't like any of the other girls on the team.
Love it, just wish I could choose the events to watch...bound to local coverages.
Stream that shit, nbcolympics.com
Thx bro, will work well with our chromecast!
Yeah, last time I looked I think there was 28 different live events streaming
bigmurphI have enjoyed watching alot especially with the usa doing so good in alot of different competitions.
I didn't catch the weight lifting but I heard a guys elbow gave out on his lift. Ouch!!
Major talent out there with a lot skill, strength, dedication, determination and diligence. Watched trampoline a little yesterday, men's water polo, and women's volleyball. I need to start recording on the dvr.
I don't really follow it to be honest although as s fan of steroids (obviously) I've followed the who har about Russia's state 'doping, (hate that word) scandal. Interesting they only banded a handful of Russia's teams.
The focus of Michael Phelps has been inspirational to me personally. The pride back home in Figi when their mens Rugby team won gold is what the Olympics are all about. Simone Manuel making history will hopefully inspire some young kids out there. Overall I'm pretty happy with some of the storylines. Now if Usain Bolt does what he's always done and smoke the competition I'll really be happy. Got my eyes on Shakur Stevenson in boxing. Heard some really good stuff about him.
I'm shooting for the next oylimpics in the men's 200 butterfly .. I think I can do it lol
Our swimmers have been nothing short of amazing.
Yessir. It even looks like our future teams are going to be really really good as well.
that Katie Lidecky 800m was mind blowing
12 seconds ahead of silver
Didn't she set a new record and beat her old time?
She is the holder of the 13 (approx) fastest times in history at that distance.
That is dominance !
