Always hated playing Volleyball. Almost impossible not to hurt your hands and arms while hitting the ball.

Maybe with perfect technique I guess?

I have a real nice story about it. The person I like play it and I wanted to get closer, so I started training at the College's team haha

But I cant play for shit T_T

The most embarassing moments of my life were some of the training days haha. Damn it, love!
 
What's the US equivalent to CBC.

I thought NBC was archiving the matches, but I was wrong.

Luckily I woke up early enough to catch the event I wanted, but I wanted to check out the Handball match everyone was talking about.

There is no alternative in the US. NBC paid the IOC 7.5B until 2032 and they will do whatever they want. I'm missing the NZ Women's rugby game because of the garbage that is NBC. I'm trying to figure out how to VPN somewhere else, because I can't deal with this shit.
 
Any suggestion how to watch these on my phone? Apparently, to watch live, I need th eNBC Spots app (can't watch from the NBC website). But, on my laptop, I can watch it from the NBC website. However, I only have a cable subscription to NBC, not NBC Sports, so I can't watch anything on the NBC Sports app, apparently.

Basically, I have an Android phone and a cable subscription to NBC, but cannot find a way to watch live Olympic coverage on my phone. Any suggestions? Ideally, I'd like to be able to stream from my phone to my Chromecast.

Do you have Private Internet Access? From there, connect to any of the two Canada regions. That's it! Doesn't hurt to pay some dollars for a month access.

Aren't all feeds available via NBC online?
 
If you're able to find a VPN that lets you connect as if from the Netherlands, use this link: http://nos.nl/rio2016/
Hit the live button and you can follow along with every event. A handful do come with dutch commentary though. No ads either.
 
Korea dominated after the second set.

Japan is still in it though, although they have a long road ahead.

S. Korea won me over last Olympics with Kim Yeon-Koung, so I'm happy with the result, however I do hope Japan does well going forward.

Yeah when I left Korea was looking really strong so I figured it would end in their favor. Both teams did great so I can't complain. Here's hoping Japan can stay in it!

======================

So we can't watch the women's rugby matches besides the snippets they show in the Gold Zone streams? Laaaaaame. :/

yeah, even online I was watching the end of a match live, and I decided to jump back and see a moment I missed. As soon as the live broadcast was over, it kicked me out, and went to another all different sport. WTF! Archive this shit lazy NBC!

Tennis is a weird game. For as simple as the core rules are, the scoring system is doing its best to make it as hard as possible to understand for newcomers. 15 - 30 - 40!?

And the fact that close games can go on for hours and hours.
 
I guess that's what it is. Why is there a small strip of fresh smooth asphalt on the road that's blocked off? Were they planning to pave the whole thing but didn't make it on time?

Not sure why they left that part open, but it's not uncommon to ride on cobblestones in big road races. Most famously is the classic Paris-Roubaix with 27 cobble sections.

Boxing has been really good so far. Some good scraps.

Removing the headgear and bringing in normal scoring has definitely improved it.

This didn't work as expected.
Any free VPN services? Or is it pretty common that you have to pay to get connected to another country.
