what happened to chinese gymnasts? didn't they use to be good at this?

didn't they get into some stink for their gymnasts being way younger than they should have been? Did they win medals at london?



Also i want to watch the pingpong match that they are losing their minds over.
 
Watching weightlifting freaks me the hell out. Trying to lift something you're not even sure you can lift is scary as hell. I'd never have the balls to do it.
 
NBC table tennis stream has Greece/Japan but the entire crowd is rooting for a Brazilian at another table so the cheers are completely off from what NBC is showing.
 
Dilemma. I have work tomorrow; the *big* boss has deigned to visit us this week. I would like to watch Peaty, that requires staying awake until 3am.


I *can* function on little sleep pretty well, but I may be under extra scrutiny.
 
I never knew table tennis could be so exciting, damn.
Can someone explain the scoring to me though?
You win a match by winning four sets. Each set is won by the person who get 11 points, but you have to win with two points. So if there's 10-10, you have to win with 12-10, if it's 11-11 you have to win with 13-11 and so son.

Similar to volleyball.
 
On the BBC's schedule, the next men's table tennis match is down as 'postponed'. Anyone heard why?

Edit: Ah, now Pitchford's playing
 
lol, they changed the game rules in the decider for Olympic matches? Well, I'm not surprised. A 4-hour 3 setter just does not make sense (unless it's on clay or something)
