Happened earlier today but did anyone see Anthony Ogogo's boxing match today? Absolutely shocking decision giving him the fight.
Ievgen Khytrov destroyed him the final round. At least 5 points clear of him in that round. Home town reffing or what. No surprise none of the British press raised any doubts about his win. Pfft. Worst decision of the Games so far.

I hope it works for everyone else but for me it is just a black screen (yes, I'm signed in). And in the other feed it is just ads. At least I got to see the three preceding finals but NBC really knows how to let people down. I can't blame them for trying to make money but at least try to cater to the fans who want to see these things live.

So was this Phelps's 2nd gold medal? How many more races does he have left?
The USA doesn't invest in shit. It is one of the only countries in the world where the Olympic Federation is funded solely by private donations.

McKayla Maroney's vault at 2:50.
Also, check out the slo-mo at 4:08 and look at the judge's expression to the left of her at 4:30.
23? Whoa.
I knew there were a lot of medals to nab in the swimming events, but this is nuts

Yeah, we've talked about that a billion times now; that's a perfect vault no matter the judges score, I wonder if she'll repeat it in the vault finals.

Damn, that is pure domination in the pool
I think it was ~1/3 of their medals in 2008

Valentina Vezzali just got her 9th Olympic medal; that's with a possibility of 2 per Olympic Games. She's perhaps the most dominant fencer ever.

It's not perfect though, she's off balance at the end.
Still the best vault of the Olympics.

Schmitt goes to UGA! represent
The US doesn't invest anything into them. That's not how swimming works in the US. Swimmers train in clubs which receive no money from the government. Sure they spend about a month at the Olympic training camp but most all the swimmers bring their own coaches and do 99% of their training with the respective clubs and/or universities.

Come on dude, Sealda has it figured out! All China has to do is dump the big bucks in Swimming and they'll be dominating in Rio 2016!

Don't that have to do 2 vaults in the apparatus finals? What will she do for her second one?
Or just pump their swimmers full of drugs, as that's the only way they can compete
