The NBC Sports app work on my Xbox One.... with my Playstation Vue log in.

Heh.

 

[Satch]

Glad the Spaniard was allowed back on. He was heartbroken.

Yeah im happy they let him swim

Indeed poor guy

On the bicycle stream there are three groups, the leaders, the followers and "peloton".

What is peloton?

Is that some poor man from a country who's never seen a bike before?

 

[AndyB1974]

Watching the road race on BBC and the commentator just said there was a loud bang at the finish line. Hope everything is OK!

 

[Joni]

I wouldn't mind this race becoming anual with a slight few alterations. It's a great track.

I wonder if it would be as exciting with 8 man teams, and where you'd put it on the calendar. There is a mix of classic and tour racers here. You don't get Froome in a normal one day race.

Peloton is the main group of riders, usually the biggest group in the race .

Peleton is "main group". Usually that's where the main contenders sit.

Peloton is platoon on Spanish

The peloton is almost always the largest group of riders during a race, with often the favorites in it until the last kms

 

[Joni]

That basically means someone was stupid enough to leave his bags. They have exploded a lot of bags already in RIo. No reason to worry yet.

Anyone get bbc to work? It didn't work with the VPN but CBC did

ah okay, was a bit confused there

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Very happy about Acosta from El Salvador

 

[Brinbe]

Let's go CDN women! Playing China right now.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Basketball

France vs Australia starting

 

[illmatic22]

Yay Basketball is underway

Yeah, 8 man teams would probably mean it will be controlled up to the last climb. But if they if the ended on the first circuit with the small climb, controlling it would be much harder.

Or perhaps the could host a world championship every once in a while. There are so many great South American racers, they deserve some bigger events.

 

[megalowho]

Nice, Mike Gorman (Celtics play by play announcer) is calling basketball games. One of the best in the business.

France vs. Australia should be legit, Bogut vs. Gobert. Hoping Australia does well.

 

[Volimar]

Let's go CDN women! Playing China right now.

What sport?

 

[kmag]

Looks like Froome and Thomas from the UK were drafting behind cars to catch up with the peleton in the cycling after Froome's bike change. Might end up with a DQ.

 

[John Dunbar]

is the archery i'm watching live (australia just beat france, south korea-netherlands about to start)?

 

[The Last Wizard]

^ I believe so
S. Korea coming up on archery, this fitting to be good.

 

[Perih Xoph]

Rooting for AUS in Men's Basketball because my man Delly is playing for them.

He got away with running in the Tour. Rules don't apply to him.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Oh man, such a cool story for the Spanish swimmer, after he false started (an automatic DQ) he cries like crazy thinking his Olympic dream is over. It's determined that a sound in the stadium contributed to the false start, so it was overturned, and he was allowed to race!

...He finished last in his heat anyway, but still, so cool he was allowed to race

 

[Tempy]

RIP Netherlands...

 

[jett]

Too bad the CBC stream has some audio issues. Commentators are too low.

Yep.

This should be good.

 

[Brinbe]

Basketball

 

[Spiritreaver]

I don't know why NBC is bothering to show any of US Men's tennis players. They're all rather low on the spectrum. A shame Isner skipped out on Rio.

Women's though, we got this.

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

To those who are watching on NBC, what's keeping you from watching the Olympics on BBC or CBC instead?

I don't know how you all can stand NBC right now.

 

[Majine]

S. Korea vs. Netherlands in Archery, males starting now.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Koreans are going to destroy us

It's a shame because our team is better than most of the other teams I've seen today.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

No water lol

 

[NewDust]

Well everybody drafts once in a while, I missed this happening, but was it behind their own team car for an extended time? That might be dq, but otherwise I wouldn't expect anything.

Blame the gods for be so unlucky

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

Who's the guy in Cycling with Light blue outfit with yellow strides? He's so far ahead.


Edit: Andrey Zeits

 

[jett]

Okay Netherlands, you just need three 10s lol.

 

[NewDust]

Okay Netherlands, you just need three 10s lol.

Wonder if we will even get one set...

 

[Tubie]

This cycling race is almost painful to watch, these guys have insane stamina.

And they still have 45km to go...

I tried with the BBC but can't get any videos. (I can't even find the links.)

Did the announcer say ask or arse? lol

The NBC Sports app on XB1 is doing fine for me right now, as it's showing everything.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Off topic: is your avatar Lawrence of Arabia?

 

[Trey]

These boys sliding all over that court. Looks terrible, rip in advance to some poor soul's ankle.

 

[Lonestar]

Is that the same "No Fucks Given" Korean Archery guy from last olympics?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Second screw up shot of today.

 

[Satch]

i like netherlands with their Young Hanzo cosmetics

 

[Spiritreaver]

Wish I could help. I'm leeching my mom's Dish account which gives me access to everything on NBC's website. It'd be a nightmare otherwise.

 

[Majine]

You can't afford 6'es against these south koreans.
