Ya, I know, he timed it, I just think minutiae is interesting.

Oh, and I looked it up.



That's from the 2015 USA Swimming Rules and Regulations rulebook, which I assume is largely consistent with the Olympic rules.

Phelps was .08 seconds from breaking that rule. The .10 reaction time doesn't apply there.

 

[UraMallas]

Watching balance beam makes me so nervous.

There with you. I couldn't even fucking walk down the thing.

 

[Vire]

Are medals even being handed out for gymnastics tonight?

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

I took a couple of quick pictures of the Gold medals ceremony for my brothers and sisters of US GAF enjoy!
congratulations again

 

[Piggus]

Congrats America, you now have as many golds as a country with 7% of your population.

Pretty sure the results earlier were just the qualifier round.

 

[MIMIC]

Commentator: Don't bet against Aly on the beam

-3 seconds later-

Aly nearly falls off beam

 

[UraMallas]

It's all qualifying, to me knowledge.

Mens all around final is tomorrow.
Women's all around final is Tuesday.

Convert based on NBC's delay as you need to.

Ridiculous, I know gymastics get ratings, but it's merely a qualifying round. Really wish they would show other sports that are in the finals.

 

[eBay Huckster]

is there even anything actually live right now?

 

[Bad_Boy]

those quads and traps. insane strength.

 

[Skellig Gra]

is there even anything actually live right now?

It is almost 1 am in Rio so doubtful

lmao dat salt

Yeah, it's a different sport, I get that, but I'm just saying, in a relay, you don't "react" you "time it." You anticipate when your teammate is going to hit the wall and you go, you don't wait to see his fingers touch, and then say, "ah, he's touched it" then go.

I also learned that swimmers react to lights, not sound, so that's another reason they don't have a .1 timing rule that sprinters do when they're diving off the platform.

 

[GaimeGuy]

i haven't used NBC for the olympics ever since they started this tape delay shit and I don't plan on using them as long as they continue to do it

Fuck them.

 

[UraMallas]

Is there stuff still going on right now? It's almost midnight in Brazil, isn't it?

 

[Subitai]

congratulations again

Thanks bro!


I really need to get a vpn and watch BBC or CBC.

 

[eBay Huckster]

the moral of this story is "nbc's tape delay is shit"

 

[Nielm]

Only Men's Beach Volleyball.

 

[renegade_dewitt]

Anyone else see the commercial teasing a new trailer for Rogue One coming out on Thursday on NBC?

That was unexpected...

 

[- J - D -]

Phelps is a monster. According to him, for Rio it'll be the first time he'll be performing at or close to 100% so I bet this win today will be only the first of many.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Only Men's Beach Volleyball.

good news, adam

 

[SDBurton]

Beach volleyball is still going on for the men.

Not even necessarily that, but maybe fencing where USA placed second earlier today.

 

[Gorillaz]

The olive wreaths from the 2004 Athens games is still the coolest medalist swag. So fucking classy.

yea I loved it my favorite

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Thanks bro!

You're welcome , if you get one clarosports.com is also broadcasting everything for free

 

[UraMallas]

That was on live. I watched it.

 

[Vire]

That was on live. I watched it.

Ah bummer, was busy earlier today.

Oh well.

 

[John Rabbit]

Thanks bro!

Been using TunnelBear for this ($7.99/mo for unlimited data) and CBC's streams are REALLY nice, they have a real-time results widget you can turn on to monitor the standings in each event. Plus they make it easier to re-watch completed events than BBC does.

Only downside is you lose that NBC storytelling/culture aspect, but you do basically get the entire event in one unbroken session.

 

[UraMallas]

It sounds like America is about to fucking wreck women's gymnastics this year. Good to hear.

 

[Zyae]

NBCs coverage is fucking terrible.

 

[UraMallas]

Yes, NBC. Let's listen to these teenagers talk about how they are going to puke.

 

[Officerrob]

Team USA women's gymnastics destroyed the qualifiers

 

[crazy monkey]

India am cry lol

 

[Tubie]

They are soooooo far ahead of the rest that it would take a catastrophe for them not to win gold.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm streaming Canada v. Latvia mens beach volleyball. It's live

 

[UraMallas]

They are soooooo far ahead of the rest that it would take a catastrophe for them not to win gold.

And it sounds like golds and silvers will be had a lot in the individual comps.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Damn it sucks that you guys and gals can only watch it on NBC according to you it sucks

 

[Officerrob]

Beach volleyball seems to go late

 

[John Rabbit]

Yes, NBC. Let's listen to these teenagers talk about how they are going to puke.

It's funny, I'd like a bit more of this since I'm basically watching only streams. NBC's streams are even worse than their TV coverage (I'm assuming, since they randomly just cut the feed every 5-10 minutes and broadcast none of the in-studio/filler stuff).

Damn it sucks that you guys and gals can only watch it on CBC according to you it sucks

The CBC web streams are fantastic.

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

Damn it sucks that you guys and gals can only watch it on CBC according to you it sucks

CBC beats NBC by miles.

Darn right. I don't know why any of you would watch Olympics on NBC. That's like hurting yourself.

 

[Vire]

They are up 10 points? That is absolutely ridiculous.

My bad let me edit my post

 

[Officerrob]

Gabby Douglas finished 3rd overall in qualifying and can't go on because the top two are also Americans, that's gotta suck

 

[Delio]

When does Diving start guys? NBC just kinda talked about it but I missed it lol

 

[UraMallas]

Gabby robbed. She had the third best scores in the all-around and she doesn't get to compete. Bullshit.

Gabby Douglas finished 3rd overall in qualifying and can't go on because the top two are also Americans, that's gotta suck

Bullshit. Git gud, world.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It does feel like a bullshit rule.

 

[Bold One]

NBC probably showing Olympic tether-ball

 

[UraMallas]

I would watch the shit out of this.

EDIT: Nastia has grown up. Yo.

IOC doesn't want an all american podium.
