Women's handball Norway - Brazil now - check it out

Wow the handball arena is quite empty even though Brazil is playing.

It'll fill up. At least they're good at booing Norway

Cycling is live. If you want to see Froome lose a race after Le Tour

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Cycling and archery on screen now. Good feeling about the Dutch archers.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Any where I can find the tennis draws/schedule?

 

[Jamie OD]

Men's Road Race coming up. Very interesting route this year.

An Excitebike track? Didn't expect that.

 

[thefro]

lol, Algerian rider cheating by grabbing a hold of a car window while talking to the driver.

 

[Peru]

*draws breath* ALSO on right now: Women's volleyball - Japan v S Korea

The official schedule is good.

A chicken is really the official animal of France? Lol

Yes. It's part of our crest in several sports even outside the olympics

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Tonight!!!!!! Allez Les Bleuettes !!!!

Handball is really awesome. Should be more way popular in English speak countries. Physical, fast, high scoring. What else do we need?

 

[Spiritreaver]

Damn, these Serbian water polo guys. Oof. I need to find a lame sport to be a part of so I can go to these games.

The official schedule is good.

Thanks bud!

The rooster, yes. And it is a viscous animal

 

[Tempy]

/me watches fencing, gets hit by screaming.

 

[obin_gam]

The canuck épee chick owend the romanian completely haha

 

[bobnowhere]

Damn, Aussie World Champ barely scrapes through in 3rd in the sculls. Crazy water conditions.

Edit: Wait, was that Dumolin at the side of the road of the road race? Strange he is riding and not saving himself for the TT. Might struggle to get back on if the attacks continue.

 

[yagal]

Cycling. Tom Dumoulin out

 

[Angel_DvA]

Of course it is but it's a rooster, a proud one ; )

look at this MOFO:

We even have a superhero:

but tonight it's ( that's a fan art ) :

 

[mclem]

Cycling. Tom Dumoulin out

Commentators here were kind of expecting that, for him to save himself for later events.

 

[Diablohead]

It's a good feeling to have the Olympics happening again, I always enjoy watching it over the weeks,

 

[Sblargh]

I cried a bit watching the ceremony while getting way too drunk last night. Glad to see y'all liked. I will admit I was on the negativity camp, but now I am filled with glorious patriotic spirit. Also with great headache from drinking too much. I guess I will watch sports while wishing for a swift end for my suffering.

 

[mclem]

*draws breath* ALSO on right now: Women's volleyball - Japan v S Korea

While it's not the Olympics, there's also a great England-Pakistan test match winding up as well. Just to complicate sporty matters further.

 

[Peru]

Norway women's handball team always slow out of the gate in tournaments. Some sloppy stuff early on in this match and Brazil are super physical.

 

[NewDust]

As a DUTCHman, watching a BELGIAN broadcast, on a JAPANESE tv of the games in BRAZIL, while commenting on a U.S. based website with my CHINESE phone...

Man, this world is tiny.

 

[obin_gam]

Watching the Judo now, the games could really benefit from having MMA as a sport.

 

[Pedrito]

Rowing conditions are brutal. They're going all over the place.

 

[yagal]

Commentators here were kind of expecting that, for him to save himself for later events.

Make sense

 

[KingSnake]

Man, the live streaming options for Austria are garbage. I have to watch NBC BBC through VPN to be able to watch the handball. This regional lock of streaming is shit.

Brazil vs. Norway handball game is really entertaining.

 

[bobnowhere]

Good breakaway in the RR. Kwiatkowski and Albasini are both potentials for the overall and Geschke is a warrior.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

This handball game has been the most exciting thing about these olympic games so far. A great back and forth affair. Brazilians are really passionate fans too lol. I think they would loudly cheer their countrymen/women if it was a paint watching contest.

It was a disaster if you were subject to NBC's bitch ass coverage. Glad to hear you guys are feeling good and proud about the event you put together. So far, things are looking good.

We all wish for that, but how would that work? The games take place over a 2 1/2 week span. I'm sure they could find a way to make it work, but it wouldn't be what we see in the UFC. Fighters would have to fight 3-4 times in that timeframe.

Kwiatkowski can't have had too much sleep since he was at the opening ceremony last night. Still 210km to go.

 

[Oersted]

Cycling... Zzzzz....

Probably, although Brazil's women's team has really been on the rise in the past couple of years. New coach turned things around to the point where the home crowd will be hoping for a medal.

 

[Volimar]

After the constant talking over in the opening ceremonies I kept thinking my audio was cutting out at the lack of commentating in the streams.

 

[jett]

I'm confused, where's track and field in the OP's schedule?

 

[spekkeh]

Field hockey Netherlands Argentina is a final right out of the gate. All three people who watch field hockey are in for a treat.

Spoiler

actually field hockey is apparently the number three or four most popular sport in the world, because of India and Pakistan

 

[mclem]

Wow, looking at the rowing now, there's probably a real advantage in an early heat.

There's no 'fastest loser' qualification, is there?

 

[Pedrito]

I'm confused, where's track and field in the OP's schedule?

It's "Athletics".

 

[Jamie OD]

Piss break for some of the cyclists.

 

[Sblargh]

I have more faith on Brazil's women on just about every sports I kinda of follow. Particularly soccer, I would be very surprised if women soccer didn't take the gold. The men, on the other hand, meh.

 

[beasty]

NBC Sports app with chrome casting seems like it is the way to go. Even though the app is a little buggy, I think this is as good as it is going to get for me
The handball game is pretty intense right now.

 

[NewDust]

Piss break for some of the cyclists.

The grass will be purple there in a month.

 

[Blader]

I'm confused, where's track and field in the OP's schedule?

Athletics

 

[eso76]

You guys know if the opening ceremony can be downloaded / watched anywhere in 1080 I/P ?

 

[bobnowhere]

Kwiatkowski can't have had too much sleep since he was at the opening ceremony last night. Still 210km to go.

Probably a set up for Maijka, though he'll be marked a little more than Kwia.

Yeah, that's a problem to say the least. The competitors would be practially dead by the time of the finals
How do they do it in the boxing?

It's amateur boxing only, quite different from the pro scene.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I don't know why NBC is showing cycling when there are more exciting events going on now.

 

[Mobius 1]

For those watching rowing - that's not the polluted bay, it's a lake in the middle of the city separated by a strip of land from the sea. It's lovely

 

[Peru]

Korea's volley team fighting back to take 2nd set easily in the rivalry match vs Japan. As always watch out for SK's no 10

Norway finished the 1st handball half a little better.

Fencers look cool

 

[Bold One]

Dat Korean #10 is tall....
