I don't think I can watch anymore Judo. This seems unwatchable if you don't practice yourself or follow it very closely. Still looking forward to taekwondo.
I do neither but it's really not that hard to follow? Even though I did Karate as a kid, I think Judo is eminently watchable. Some slow circling and then BAM, it's pretty tense. Kind of sad all our guys got eliminated today, because it means our TV doesn't pay attention anymore.
 
You gotta wonder what kind of direction these cameramen get. "At every opportunity get the tightest shot of an ass you can."
 
Almost had a freaking heart attack watching that fight.

4 minutes of Golden Score, holy fucking shit.

VAMO RAFAELA! PRO OURO!
 
when does the track and field events start? Wanna see that Gatling/Bolt showdown!

Track and field starts on Friday, August 12, though the men's 100m is Sunday night.

Speaking of track, everyone make sure to watch my favorite Olympic sport, Race Walking, this Friday. It's quite possibly the only sport that has to explicitly state in its officiating handbook:

Judges should not ‘hide’ from competitors on a road course. It is not ethical nor is it good judging technique, to ‘hop’ out from behind a fence, bush or car.
 
Yeah, wtf is up with his eye. Google shows he has normal eyes. Is this some kind of freaky lens?

Kinda strange how often both fencers celebrate after a hit lol. They don't even know what's going on.

It's to influence the judges. When I took classes I was told you have to do so because your adversary will do it.
