Yeah holy crap, didn't expect Serena to be struggling.

I think the age limit is fixed by the sport federation and not the IOC. It's typically in sports in which young girls tend to have an advantage (gymnastics, figure skating, etc.).

That sounds right. Probably international standards as well.

edit: sorry bout double post.

[TraBuch]

it varies per fencing discipline, but yep! it covers pretty much the area a leotard would in foil

So could you get a point for hitting someone in the back if someone for some reason turned around?

in foil yes

I haven't said it yet, but NBC's tennis scorecard is the WORST. Marking the set as 1/0 in a best of 3... They never show any stats. Serve speeds, errors, aces, etc. Why even bother tbh.

 

[obin_gam]

The canoe slaloms have just begun. Anyone watching that?
It looks really disorienting, kudos to the guys who can keep that small thingy afloat!

 

[Pedrito]

Looks like olympic champion Agnel won't even make the semis in the 200m freestyle.

Nbc has been shit at covering tennis for decades.

damn it looks brutal

 

[Cyrano]

Can't get over how hype Weightlifting is.

 

[Rainy]

Damn Park Taehwan really fell off. I hope Connor Dwyer medals in the 200m free somehow.

Always one of my favorite events, along with diving and BMX.

It's the Olympics scoreboard and not NBC's fault. Wimbledon does the same by the way.

 

[SDBurton]

Oh shit I didn't even know women's weightlifting was on!

 

[OceanicAir]

Wow, that was a nice score for the American Women's Rugby team!

Edit: and again!

 

[Ricker]

I love Women's Beach Volleyball...I mean those cool sunglasses,so sexy

 

[Hoo-doo]

Where are people catching the weightlifting?

I have 13 live feeds of sports that are happening right this second and weightlifting isn't one of them. Says to me that it starts in a few hours.

If you have access to nbc, here

Is this the first time during the games that NBC has something over BBC?

 

[the_firewithin]

watching the AUS v USA rugby and didnt know this can be competitive. seems like every match ive seen ends like 40-0

 

[Cyrano]

If you have access to nbc, here

Also using this one. So hype.

Slalom is fun though I don't quite understand why hitting the bars is a penalty.

you need to be clean through the gate, otherwise you could just knock one out to the side and take a smoother route which would be unfair

 

[pulsemyne]

Oh Australia you lucky buggers in the womens Rugby. A draw.

 

[The Last Wizard]

These weightlifters killed it, all of that on top of commmands.

That was a crazy ending

Ok, but let's assume everyone can do that, wouldn't it encourage faster times and tighter slaloms?

 

[SDBurton]

I would be legit surprised. :lol

Yeah it is!

it just goes against the spirit of the slalom if you can just manipulate the course to make it easier!

 

[Pedrito]

Archery time!

 

[zero_suit]

Archery time!

South Korea is about to dominate.

Thanks. I'm switching feeds so often I miss out on a lot.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

But Slalom, Women's road Race, Serena, and Fencing. Now I have archery?
Too much I need a central hub to see everything at once how come NBC doesn't have the simulataneous view?

8 everywhere due to the wind. Goddamn.

The trick is to choose what you're going to watch now and what you're going to watch on replay.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

So for slalom, I'm guessing you have to go through the green gates and loop around the red gates without touching them?

 

[Rainy]

Damn a Russian swimmer tested positive for doping twice and is still competing? Lmao.
(She won her heat too.)

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Not surprised. I'm watching Serena play and the commentators were mentioning the wind conditions being wild today. Guess they cancelled some boating event because they would have just capsized constantly.

 

[SDBurton]

There could be a typhoon there while they're competing and he'd still get 10's.

Rightfully booed.

Foil is so messy. They should get rid of the white lights. Give the riposte a chance!
