Boxing just finished now. I've been watching the Olympics since 92 in Barcelona when i was a kid and i have to day: being there is crazy. Is a while other experience. I recommend everyone to do this at least one time in your life

Now, off to handball! Juan Nogueira is the hero of forever for now.

I will post some pics later.

Did you get any upset results? I saw Olympic boxing in London and the best moment was when a man from Nicaragua came back from behind to win his match. Everyone celebrated like he won a medal.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

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.

Awesome congratulations! enjoy the Olympics and stay safe GAF brother or sister

Cycling is total chaos right now.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Who are all these people in the cycling road?! lol

 

[MetatronM]

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

Froome punched one of them during the Tour de France.

 

[Brinbe]

I'd be dying right now, Jesus.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Why do cycling crowds always try to get themselves over?

No one cares about you.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

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

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

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

I wouldn't want to be the Brasilian cyclist right now

 

[Satch]

Omg the violence in this handball game 😖

 

[bjaelke]

Tour didn't offer anything this exciting/brutal

 

[NewDust]

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

If they keep going, expect one of the spectators to eat a knuckle sandwich.

No Team Sky here to shit things up for us.

 

[Joni]

There is literally no crowd here. They are riding in peace. Just multiply by thousand to get the average Tour de France mountain.

 

[Humidex]

This cycling - goddamn brutal.

 

[Brinbe]

omfg, all these ppl hahaha

 

[Peru]

Omg the violence in this handball game 😖

Some good choke holds

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Cycling is chaos right now

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

What are you guys eating or drinking during these games?

I'm enjoying my Kirkland Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Kirkland Sumatra Cold Brew <3

 

[Bold One]

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

Nope

Women's Pole Vaulter body

 

[Milchmann]

Can't do that in a stage race.

 

[Tubie]

That climb looked brutal, specially at this point of the race and even made even worse by the fans running along the riders.

 

[Winterblink]

Dude just gave one of the riders a helpful push. The fuck?

 

[MassiveNights]

Tour didn't offer anything this exciting/brutal

One off race increases the drama tbf.

 

[Joni]

Dude just gave one of the riders a helpful push. The fuck?

It is actually really annoying for the rider. Messes up their rhythm.

 

[Psychotext]

Dude just gave one of the riders a helpful push. The fuck?

Happens all the time.

It is actually really annoying for the rider.

Yup. Fucks with your cadence all of a sudden.

 

[Satch]

Some good choke holds

GOOD? &#128555;

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Exhausted riders and a hairy descent. This can only go wrong.

 

[MMarston]

Still morning so I just had 2 precooked breakfast cheese bread rolls.

Doubly ironic given I'm watching these top athletes AND its lift day for me today

 

[MassiveNights]

Third time they have done it today too!

 

[2MF]

That crowd:

What happens if one of these spectators trips or interferes with a rider?

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Nope

Women's Pole Vaulter body

*Goes to Google images* DAMN! O:

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Damn, so much respect for these cyclist.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Lots of cyclists look like they are gonna fall apart any moment now, I mean 6 hours straight of this with the kind of humidity of the region and at 30°C+ of hell under plain sunlight, not to mention a single mistake could decimate any of your efforts so far, these people are goddamn heroes .

 

[Joni]

For comparison, this is how a Tour mountain looks like:

What happens if one of these spectators trips or interferes with a rider?

Bad luck. Guy loses, spectator hopefully runs very far away. It has happened a couple of times.

 

[EroticSushi]

How do you watch anything on BBC? When I click on one of the sports it just gives me Summary, Live Reporting and Medal Table.

 

[Kid Ying]

Did you get any upset results? I saw Olympic boxing in London and the best moment was when a man from Nicaragua came back from behind to win his match. Everyone celebrated like he won a medal.

Nops. Most of the matches i've saw were won by unanimous decision with someone dominating the other.

Although i missed the 3 first matches cause i've arrived there quite late and the lines to enter were quite big.

And thanks Atomic Jorge! I'm sure having a ball right now. Russia forever. A shame there's a lot of koreans here, so the crowd usually goes with the loudest one. Hahaha

 

[Brinbe]

This is awesome

 

[NewDust]

The organiser will invent some abstract rules that might fair... Or not. In one off races your done though.

This. I couldn't get this part to work on my Desktop, only on my iPhone.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Bad luck.

Don't people gamble even on cycling results? Seems like it would be easy for 'bad luck' to affect the results.

Insane.

 

[MetatronM]

You guys who think this cycling is chaos right now, you should check out the end of the race up Mont Ventoux at this year's Tour.

 

[Satch]

When does Ning Zetao swim

 

[Joni]

The result would probably get thrown out by the bookies.

 

[Psychotext]

lol, one of the riders slapping himself like a horse rider might a horse.

 

[2MF]

The guys on motorcycles seem to be doing OK though.

 

[MassiveNights]

Holy shit these spectators.

 

[Brinbe]

lol these fucking morons
