Why is Luke Campbell guaranteed at least a bronze if he's only just won his QF? Is there some quirk of boxing I'm not aware of?

They don't fight for Bronze on boxing. All fighters in the semi have bronze secured.

holy shit at the medal discrepancy between South Korea and Japan

Plinko · (08-05-2012, 08:25 PM)

Is the 100m live on NBC or tape-delayed until tonight?

Doesn't look like it's going to be on live TV...

I think this is the stream for it, though:

tape delayed. no way would nbc show something as big as the 100m live in the afternoon

krishian · (08-05-2012, 08:27 PM)

Ethiopia/Kenya is going to fuck this up again, just like the 10k yesterday. If they just ran like they do over the whole year noone would even be close...

What the fuck that is incredibly messed up.

I'll try to look for it, thanks!

Whoa. Lolo Jones is a virgin? I guess that means she's not going to the olympic village afterwards.

Carbonox_Ratchet · (08-05-2012, 08:27 PM)

Never understood the point of the steeple chase.

"Hmm, how should we create a new race but make it more exciting?"

"I know! Let's throw random obstacles in the way and make it 3000m just because?"

"BRILLIANT!"

Yep. I think Judo is the same, not sure if it's Judo or another one of the combat sports.

Saty · (08-05-2012, 08:28 PM)

Fields events? There's such a thing? Oh, the event is about to end so let's show a string of taped attempts that takes most of the point of live sports away. 3 high jumps and back to the track - not be seen again for who knows how long.

It's amazing to me how the field athletes haven't revolted against this over the years. They are criminally under-televised.

Judo, Wrestling, Boxing and Taekwondo.

There are two Bronze medal fights in Judo, Wrestling and Taekwondo, though.

There's no public live TV broadcast for Americans at the 100 m? Seems weird to me with Gay and Gatlin on the track. What's the deal with that? :P

navanman · (08-05-2012, 08:30 PM)

Kenya going to win this gold.

Since the incident, it has come out that the timekeeper for the event was a 15 year old British volunteer.

Yeah, that shouldn't be happening.

Field doesn't equal ratings

I believe all field finals have a separate stream on bbc.

NBC tape delays everything popular to put on in prime-time.

Kurtofan · (08-05-2012, 08:32 PM)

Mahieddine must win!

Welp, guess I was wrong :)

Meadows · (08-05-2012, 08:33 PM)

fuck, im so hyped for the 100m

glad I'm not distracted by a GB athlete, I can just enjoy it

navanman · (08-05-2012, 08:33 PM)

Nearly celebrated too early.

Kurtofan · (08-05-2012, 08:33 PM)

Silver for Mahieddine! Silver for France!

I must be naive because I'd never expect someone to try that in a 100m final.

So they have no respect for sports fans. Why would someone want to wait hous after the event to see something that already took place. Weird stuff.

linsivvi · (08-05-2012, 08:34 PM)

so the guy from kenya is dancing on the track. i guess it's time to criticize him ;)

Lyonaz · (08-05-2012, 08:35 PM)

That's how you celebrate!
