It is cute watching her for ONE match.

But there is a reason her teammates gave her the nickname "drama-queen".

All the smiling, crying, collapsing etc is just too much if you follow tennis all season.

Doesn't mean she's a drama queen, just means she gets more emotinally invested in a match than some others, or at least shows that emotion more outwardly.

Why are the records on the Throwing events so long lasting? Do kids don't get feed as well as they were before? lol. They all seem borderline mythical.

Long jump too. Powell got 8.95 meters in 1991 and it still stands today.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Hammer throw is rad. So much power.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Apparently there was a technical fault during that Lineker/Ainslie interview and Gary couldn't hear anything Ben was saying through his earpiece.

There was a delay on the link but Lineker is still bloody awful, the BBC should get rid of him and his MOTD cronies.

There used to be rampant drug use when the records were set. Detection is now much better.

Man I love volleyball.

 

[Kitschkraft]

damn volleyball is so cool

I only ever watch during the Olympics (Never see it on tv any other time really), but yeah, it's pretty amazing. I'm always shocked with the fantastic timing and reflexes. It looks like it would be far easier to jam it in than it actually is.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Go Cylon dude!

Venezuelan track suit is distracting.

Blade runner running in this race.

Says the one with a Lisicki avatar.

Yeah? It's true though.

 

[szaromir]

The womens volleyball almost never do the quick set up and slam. Its always the big set up, usually on the other side of the net. MIX IT UP

True that.

Long jump too. Powell got 8.95 meters in 1991 and it still stands today.

Long jump used to have several US greats Carl Lewis, Mike Powell and Bob Beamon. There is no talent to elevate the competition right now.

 

[Levyne]

Go Adam Jensen...er..Oscar

 

[Canis lupus]

I love the Turkish girls, but they need to lose so Brazil can advance

The worst thing happened today, Korea-China 3-2... So Brazil will probably go, we shouldnt have lost the first set to the Americans, and the 4th set to the Koreans 2 days ago. :/

 

[donkey show]

Oh man, dude from South Africa! Go go go!

Cool how he's in both this and the paralympics.

VAMOS MÉXICO

Mexico vs Ireland in bantam boxing. Winner goes to semis and clinches a bronze.

Triple jump is so goofy.

Not at all, it's amazing

Aww that guy swapping badges with Pistorius

Yes, let Jake Humphrey take over. He's a lot better, and much more likable.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

This announcer repeats himself quite a lot, indeed

 

[davidsaurus]

Yeah? It's true though.

She is overly dramatic which is essentially the definition of a drama queen.

James and Pistorius swapping their badges is very moving.

Yep. It's insane how after so many years with advanced training, nutrition etc that nobody has come close to those guys.

I love the footages from the warm up track with all the runners.

Sounds like some sexist shite to me bro.

 

[Psychotext]

Oscar Pistorius finishes last, but still an incredible accomplishment.

Aye, fantastic.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

And if it's going to cost them too much, just find an off-air tape with dumb remarks and use it against them like Sky did with Gray and Keys.

 

[Diprosalic]

Does the us underperform in athletics or just no events for them so far. No gold yet?

 

[Keyser Soze]

IOA!!!

Go Santos, Go DR!

 

[PaulLFC]

She is overly dramatic which is essentially the definition of a drama queen.

So she shows her emotions more outwardly than others, no big deal.

Ireland goes up in the second round, 7 to 4 over Mexico. D:

I still don't get the boxing scoring system but well done Ireland

 

[theignoramus]

US womens volleyball team is winning a gold. at worst a silver.

 

[Good Job Bob]
