Olympics Thread

Agree. Incredible. Was confusing with 0:00 on the clock, thought the guy was just going nuts. but the bell hadnt rung.

 

I think the ****ing Chinese are cheating again. Some 16 year old won the 400IM by having the same finishing leg time as Ryan Lochte, which is ridiculous.

 

She seemed to be skimming across the top of the water on her final 2 legs.

 

The Chinese were cheating like hell in swimming during the 90s before they were caught. I guess they figured out something new. Smells like EPO to me.

 

They can cheat in plain sight - 4 years ago their women's gymnastic team was made up of 10 year old girls. The IOC did nothing.

 

Unimane sounds like Pat Buchanon. Very unbecoming. And very un-Uni.

The times, they are a-changin'

 

By 845 on a Sunday morning i have already watched second half of Brazil Australia basketball and Men's beach volleyball. I think i am addicted.

 

The Kim Rhodes lady just dominated Skeet shooting. Wow that was impressive.

 

I'm convinced that I could compete in Handball.

 

Lolo was right - "USA Men's Archery lost the gold medal to Italy but that's ok, we are Americans… When's da Gun shooting competition?"

Controversy surrounds world-record 400 IM of China's 16-year-old Ye Shiwen - Yahoo! Sports

 

If you aren't cheating in the Olympics, you aren't trying.

 

I was gonna get mad, but then I thought of BALCO.

 

I just love the idea that we have an event called skeet shooting. Check your urban dictionary for the meaning on that one.

 

How is Lil' Jon not in the medals? Huge upset.

 

Oh, great. Michelle The Beagle is here to make NBC's coverage even more pathetic.

 

North Korea’s Om Yun Chol sets Olympic record by lifting three times his body weight

Whether it's high jumpers leaping nearly two feet more than their own height or sprinters running 100 meters in less than 10 seconds, there are some Olympic feats so remarkable they seem to defy basic common sense.

North Korea's Om Yun Chol pulled off another of those Sunday.

Om, who stands just 5 feet tall and weighs only 123 pounds, set an Olympic record in the men's 56-kilogram category when he cleared 168 kilograms (370.4 pounds) in the clean and jerk.

Donahue finishes 7th in the 100 butterfly. Not top 3 but good to see a Knoxville area athlete do well.
