Italy going for it on the descent.

Shanks D where are you?

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

oh shit, cyclist wiped out

That descent is no joke!

And another goes down, ouch

I feel very uncomfortable with that little fence they have there considering it's a big ass drop. I say the fence should be about 6ft high.

 

[Trey]

Some of these women in the bra v nor handball match are whew, lord

 

[UnObtainium17]

Wow this is too much downhill too fast in cycling. If there were no mosquito net looking barrier in there these cyclists will fall into a goddamn zikachu jungle.

 

[MetatronM]

Richie Porte

Are accidents in Cycling this common or Brasil is a bad place?

Common, especially when it's an intense one day race like this where you have to go all out and only have one chance to get it right.

They don't have fences normally. And it would be dangerous as well if was anything more than the net.

They normally manage to outpace cars. The speed records for one of the hills in the Tour de France was 120 kilometer per hour.

How old is this girl playing table tennis for Puerto Rico?

C'mon, step it up!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

One of my favorite movies.

:bro fist: Mine too the cinematography is simply spectacular

 

[Kid Ying]

It's getting hard to cheer for Rússia. The whole stadium took korea side already.

If this was one of the grand tours, there'd be no barrier at all. With a sheer drop off an alpine mountain.

Shit is no joke.

 

[v1lla21]

Telemundo is one commercial break every 30 seconds wtf. Lol.

Are you in the stadium?

Put me down for team Lawrence as well


On topic, these cyclists look fucking spent

LOL CBC commentators keep writing off Polish cycled because looks like he's given up on numerous occasions but hasn't

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Parker keeping France alive by himself

 

[John Dunbar]

terrible start for italy against china (archery).

 

[Joni]

A lot of people here are Tour racers. They don't tend to get 200 KM+ races. Others are Classic racers, who usually do distances like this, but not at this difficulty.

If they are talking about Kwiatkowski, that is stupid. The guy is very good.

All in all a legendary race.

I know and they still have 27kms left to finish D:

 

[Kjellson]

Man, I can't even imagine cycling like this for 6 hours like these guys do. It looks like hell on earth.

 

[Fuu]

The SporTV app (Brazil) is pretty great, just logged in with my Net account and the streams are all organized and smooth, with individual bars showing at which point each live match/performance is at. Archived videos too, including the opening ceremony.

I could watch on the TV through their various channels, but I'd rather use the iPad if I want to catch something quickly.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Can't watch archery because UVerse authentication servers suck

 

[Spiritreaver]

Jack Sock is playing tennis with pneumonia, lol. Poor guy.

 

[Satch]

This handball sport... Wtf

 

[sam777]

BBC online is fantastic they have live coverage of pretty much every sport. A pity swimming is 2/3am here as I usually enjoy watching that.

 

[v1lla21]

When the fuck did I lose access to msnbc? Cycling is brutal

There's swimming on now!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Swimmers body's (both female and male) = perfection

 

[MetatronM]

Man, I can't even imagine cycling like this for 6 hours like these guys do. It looks like hell on earth.

The grand tours are maybe the craziest shit in all of sports. It's basically like this, only 20 more times over a span of 3 weeks (though admittedly not AS hard on most of the days).

It's no wonder that people dope.

 

[NewDust]

Lol at the guy tripping over, lucky he didn't hit any racers.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Sooooo, are there usually zero crowd in olympic events?

Heather Watson is a pretty good name in Tennis are there are maybe ten people in the stands.....

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The yelling game of the Russian coach for the handball team is on point.

 

[Satch]

The russian coach lmfaooo!!!!

how do you even play successfully at goalie in this game?????

 

[Tubie]

It's a miracle these people with the water bottles haven't knocked anyone out.

 

[Trey]

The russian coach lmfaooo!!!!

You flail and pray to god you don't get sniped in a bad spot.

 

[Joni]

If they are the usual guys, they have experience. It did look like a bad place for them to be though.

 

[Psychotext]

Yates gone.

 

[2MF]

Man, I can't even imagine cycling like this for 6 hours like these guys do. It looks like hell on earth.

It's 31 degrees there now too... imagine cycling in that temperature.

 

[Kjellson]

Watch the Brazilian goalie in the Norway game.

 

[Kid Ying]

Are you in the stadium?

Yep. The game is fun, but i don't like the Sport much. I bought a ticket just to pass the time till usa's basketball match.

Also, although the arenas are cool, out there is hellish hot. I understand people passing out on those open arenas.

 

[MIMIC]

"If you don't break the world record, we are sooooooo getting divorced."

 

[UnObtainium17]

So apparently some members of US men's Basketball team walked into a famous brazillian brothel by accident
🤔

 

[MassiveNights]

Froome on the move!

 

[RivalCore]

Goddamn this cycling is brutal. They all deserve medals for getting this far.

 

[Rainy]

Hosszu almost set the WR in the prelims for the Women's 400 IM, Jesus.

 

[Psychotext]

Froome is a beast.

 

[Tubie]

��

SURE

 

[Tempy]

I swear the most annoying thing in cycling would be some of the crowd getting in the way.

 

[v1lla21]

Poor Brazilian kid is getting destroyed by the Colombian boxer.

 

[2MF]

This is chaos, everyone running next to the cyclists, haha..

 

[MMarston]

If I were one of these cyclists, I'd be annoyed as hell by these groupies
