3 is quite a few, it's the absolute max for a tennis player for example.

the list of multiple medal winners at one event gets dominated by swimmers and i think the top 6 "most medals at one olympics" is just swimmers.

Hard to compare racing sports with others honestly. People can make the same arguments about track. Only difference is that swimming has different strokes, but it's not like Phelps is winning backstroke, free, and breast individual competitions.

That said, I'm okay with those. Curling, Trampoline, and some other sports should be banned though

But curling is the best

What's the difference between an Independent athlete and a refugee athlete?

The Independent athletes are either from countries not yet recognized by the IOC or whose countries did not meet standards set by the IOC.

Refugees may be from recognized countries, but had to leave or flee due to troubles.

The winner was from Kuwait, whose Olympic delegation was suspended, I think.

Got curious and decided to take a look at the NBC feed for once.





Wow, these commercial breaks.

Wow, these commercial breaks.

I was watching some replays of stuff yesterday on the mobile app, and 10 commercials played in a row.

For something that happened yesterday.

My god, even the live stuff only has two play at maximum.

 

[Volimar]

I give NBC a lot of shit (deservedly), but I'm actually pretty happy with all these live feeds. I've been spoiled for choice all Olympics long.

 

[Pedrito]

What a dive!

3.0 is generous...

What a dive!

Something went terribly wrong there.

 

[Vic]

That brazilian diver... lmao. Dude was out of sync from the start.

 

[Volimar]

That Serbian girl. So mad.

 

[Peru]

Norway vs surprise team Angola, with that hyped keeper - coming up in women's handball.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

So is this just the first gold medal for an independent athlete or the first medal, period? I've never heard of this happening before.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

The Japanese guy in Judo has Baker for a last name. That threw me off, is he playing for Japan but lives elsewhere?

They won a few in 1992, but this is first gold.

 

[perfectchaos007]

USA pulling away from the Serbs in set 4

 

[Pedrito]

The best diving event ever is the 3m synchro from Athens 2004. All the top teams flop on the last dive, including a chinese entering the water on his back. The Greeks win out of nowhere, kind of like that famous australian speed skater who won by staying on his feet.

This isn't the same as the Unified Team though, right? (Which all the former Soviet athletes competed under in 92)

 

[kAmui-]

Wow. China not leading for the first time in any of the diving competitions.

 

[Vic]

Man, the legs on these women weightlifters; it's like a festival of Chun-Lis.

Think he has one foreign parent from what they said on the Judo stream. He looks haafu.

 

[Zackat]

china is losing in diving. what is going on?

 

[Kid Ying]

Shoot off in archery! Its a rare occurence. I think the italian is more calm right now.

 

[Pedrito]

That archery match was ridiculously close and tense. Good job Crispin.

 

[kAmui-]

Gonna be a really interesting last round in diving.

Kyrie's former backup is finally going to show Tyronn

 

[Timbuktu]

china is losing in diving. what is going on?

Still pretty close though, I would expect them to pull through. Interesting to see if Mexico re-dive will put he Americans off.


Edit: or no re-dive... What's going on?

 

[nny]

29-29 Amazing round!

 

[Hopeford]

Back during the fencing epee finals, right before the 3/3 and down 14-10(once someone gets 15 points they win), Park started to tell himself "I can do this" over and over again. He went on to make a ridiculous comeback and win. Overcoming 5 match points in epee of all blades is fucking insane, still can't believe Park pulled it off.

Great clip.

Also while we are on the topic of fencing, this made me laugh:

 

[MikeDown]

My god NBC's streaming site is such shit

 

[Zackat]

[pulsemyne]

Wow major fuckup in the diving.

[Peru]

Norway crushing Angola.

 

[StoopKid]

Egypt weightlifting coach lol

 

[killer_clank]

such drama at the diving!

this is so unfair on the other divers.

 

[Oersted]

Man, the legs on these women weightlifters; it's like a festival of Chun-Lis.

Watch weightlifting under the assumption that everyone is bathed in steroids.

 

[Gigarator]

Complete clusterfuck going on in the diving at the moment.

 

[Vic]

Egypt weightlifting coach lol

That was fucked up.

 

[Timbuktu]

Lol. Maybe hat helped USA divers. Excellent

 

[Zackat]

mother of god. 98.04 dive

 

[kAmui-]

Lol. Maybe hat helped USA divers. Excellent

Was about to write how that will more likely have a negative effect and then they pull that one off

98??? Holy crap!

 

[Oersted]

Nice scores

 

[Diprosalic]

Watch the Olympics under the assumption that everyone is bathed in steroids.

ftfy

 

[Milchmann]

Rugby Sevens: Fiji-New Zealand 5-7 after the first half. Upset alert?

 

[nny]

It will be a shame to see one of these archers losing.

 

[Timbuktu]

This is so fucking close in diving. Well done GB. 100 for China?

 

[killer_clank]

[Oersted]

This counts as porn in some countries
