Why has nobody given names yet. I must know who the one on the left is.

Check BBC's athlete profile page. They are probably on there.

This. There's a lot more than just what NBC decides America (or BBC/UK, etc) needs to see. Just because the USA isn't featured or there aren't heavily-endorsed celebrity athletes in it doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be seen. Some of the best drama and tensest moments come from the best of the best from other countries facing each other. That fencing debacle yesterday was proof of that. I personally have been getting a kick out of watching canoe/kayaking, fencing, and handball. I didn't even know what handball was until I watched it, saw it was awesome, then opened its wikipedia entry in a separate window and started reading about it.

Bill Simmons just posted an article about watching Handball simply because it was nearby, having no clue what the rules were going in, and loving it. It really is a shame that there are so many events that would appeal to people instantly that are pushed to the side. At least we now have the option to stream.

I'm excited for the BMX events. One of the dutch riders participating grew up just down the street from where I did.

BMX and Mountainbike should be absolutely epic. Loved those two during past Olympic games.

[DrM]

Hell yeah, gold in judo!

[Regulus Tera]

Poor Peruvian lady tried to lift 100kg and she seems to have done something to her left wrist. :(

[numble]

Singapore looking good against China in Table Tennis semi-final.

[Awesome]

So why are people saying that her being 17 years old and guys being attracted to her are bad?

[Envelope]

Is that water splashing on the hockey field, or just particles of turf?

[Hunter S Thompson]

So it's a pretty useless suggestion then considering you understand it wouldn't work :P

No my point was just to say it is so much more enjoyable and brutal than other forms of fighting.

[Shadow780]

EPIC beach volleyball match.

But he think that's right about men's handball. It's just too random, it's cool no doubt but it's really hard to get a clue about what's actually going on.

Go: GO OLE!!!!

Etiquette.

[krishian]

Urška!

[numble]

They're playing double?

No it's single.

[Hoo-doo]

Time for some artistic Gymnastics.

Is that water splashing on the hockey field, or just particles of turf?

The surface is kept wet I believe.

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I guess they will be looking in to that 16 year old Chinese swimmer now.

[Big-E]

Looks like the Peruvian woman tore something in her arm on the jerk.

[LTWheels]

Is that water splashing on the hockey field, or just particles of turf?

I assume it's water as it was raining earlier today.

[Kobalty]

[Koodo]

Yas, more Gymnastics.

[Awesome]

Etiquette.

What etiquette? 17 isn't a child, 16 is legal in many states in the US.

[Angry Fork]

She's 17, dude. Not cool. Welp.

Olia Burtaev 17 years old..........

...

=(

[linsivvi]

She's 17, dude. Not cool. Welp.

She's Australian. It's perfectly cool.

[LTWheels]

Woman's gymnastics or woman's hockey. Can't decide.

[MIMIC]

KAYYOOOO TARP

[LosDaddie]

I think that if a lot of people complaining about the olympics in that other thread actually watched the right events and joined in on the discussion here, they'd be hooked. I didn't really plan on watching a lot of it at first, but I did and now i'm enjoying all the different events so much.

There's always been a large anti-sports (and anti-anything masucline) contingent on GAF. They always come out whenever a big sporting event happens, and they make sure to post a thread about how much they don't care.

Personally, I enjoy almost everything about the Olympics.

Work harder.

[bjaelke]

No it's single.

Ah yes. Just saw that the women are playing both their quarter and semi finals today.

[Brazil]

17 isn't legal in multiple parts of the world, and NeoGAF has more than just posters from "many states in the US".

But who caaares, hahaha.

[MIMIC]

Is gymnastics on TV or only on streams for American audiences?

[fuenf]

:( the German doesnt stand a chance in Judo

[Shadow780]

Let's go Jordan!

[Hunter S Thompson]

Alright finally some Girl's gymnastics. Boo China. XD

[Hoo-doo]

Man, the music during this gymnastics event is pumping.

[Khold]

Alright, US girls, redemption time

[Brazil]

#2 Korean fella up now in Archery.

[ChiTownBuffalo]

what do you mean?

She smoked the fastest male over a set distance. It's not unusual for that to happen.

China has been hiring a lot of foreign coaches, which I think helps out their athletic program. So I don't think it doping.

On the other hand, China is generally on lots of peoples lists for suspected cheating.

[Awesome]

Yeah I forgot, you can be an 18 year old guy and be attracted to a 17 year old girl and people will automatically label you,

wait let me use some quotes to get my message out.

[Regulus Tera]

Ya entró la Luz. VAMOS LUZ POR MÉXICO

[ag-my001]

Questioning the use of Katy Perry's "Firework" at the archery competition, what with the "like the Fourth of July" line. Odd reference for London.

Ah, I see.

[Jeff Albertson]

The American gymnasts look like they secretly hate each other when they hug

Actually not this time maybe they just all hate that first girl

[Biggzy]

USA off to a good start.

[Koodo]

The USA women just clocked the vault out of the park.

[ElTopo]

German judoka loses in the final against the Korean. Well, silver's great as well.

[Regulus Tera]
