No basketball OT in OP?

 

[Zackat]

Team USA not what it used to be.

 

[oti]

Greece should get all the medals because we started it.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm sad this will be over in a few days. Team USA on schedule to finish with well over 100 medals

^This should've been the first post.

GAF is not what it used to be.

I honestly didn't expect to be as in to these games I was

 

[Lima]

You guys ready for 50km walking tomorrow? I know I am.

 

[sammex]

Feel really bad for this Japanese wrestler. She's been balling her eyes out since she lost and is still crying on the podium.

3 consecutive golds, heavy favourite and then gets silver. Oof.

Yep,whish this was every year ...Canada experts where going for 19/20 medals,we have 15 so far...

 

[KillerMan91]

These games really have been disaster for us (Finland). One single bronze and even javelin medal is not sure this time around.

Seriously. I feel awful. I can't imagine what it feels like to have that level of expecation and lose.

So Shakur Stevens beat the corrupted cheating Russian in boxing.

Yeah, kind of heart breaking to watch.

She's also very popular in Japan. So she had a ton of weight on her shoulders.

I hope she doesn't get shit for getting silver.

We're guaranteed either gold or silver for Erica Wiebe in women's wrestling tonight; De Grasse looks like a good bet for silver; and Damian Warner may be able to pull out silver, or settle for bronze. That'd get us to 18 medals, tying our 2012 performance; we'd just need one more after that to meet the Canadian Olympic Committee's target, which could be the women's soccer team repeating for bronze, or some other contest.

Yoshida is a champion, and she will forever be a champion. Father time is and will always be undefeated though. Sometimes an old lion(ess) meets a young hungry lion(ess) that is coming for his/her throne and there's nothing (s)he can do about it..

I have met Maroulis. This medal couldn't have happened to a better person. Well deserved!

So Shakur Stevens beat the corrupted cheating Russian in boxing.

Stevenson didn't even fight. The russian didn't show up.

You are really underselling how good Maroulis is. And how well she wrestled against Yoshida.

 

[Brazil]

We did it yaaaay

 

[Ruruja]

13-time world champ and 3-time olympic champ, she best not do!

I remember Andre Agassi after his last match. In his speech he said he was thankful for his victories but far more thankful for his losses, as they made him a better player and a better human. There's a somber beauty to that.

He didn't fight due to injuries they said. But I wonder if it was to not draw more attention to his situation.

 

[Lima]

Wait there is not only 50km walking but 20km tomorrow too? Damn son. We walking.

 

[Cyrano]

Excited for more Beach Volleyball.

Bawling. You're saying she's been fucking.

Moroulis went to our local high school my daughter will attend.

This has been a pretty exciting Olympics. I think I enjoy the battles for Bronze the most. The loser for Gold still gets a medal, but when it's Bronze or nothing, the stakes seem higher.

 

[RobotsAnger]

Well played Serbia

 

[GunBR]

Our country, our Olympics, our medals

 

[Creamium]

Behind against Argentina in the hockey final :/

I've been surprised by how good Argentina have been, couldn't believe the way they beasted Germany.

HOLY FUCK THAT GOAL, that was incredible.

I'm glad it's coming to an end. I love watching the games, but it is a scam. It distracts people from real world problem and makes people unreasonably and irrationally extremely patriotic/nationalistic.

I saw the match. Great match.

Then you should have seen that Yoshida was outwrestled.

No such thing as being "unreasonably patriotic." Let people celebrate their countries, man. And so what if the Olympics distracts people from the world's problems? That's kind of the point. It's a moment when every country comes together for some friendly competition. The world needs more of that.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

The Argentina coach cracks me up, would love to have a picture in picture of him in the corner. Want Belgium to equalise just to see how he reacts

 

[Tallshortman]

So Shakur Stevens beat the corrupted cheating Russian in boxing.

Dude was a can that was already crushed in a fight he should have lost. Looking forward to Shakur's fight against the reigning gold medalist.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

So much for a Belgian equaliser, congrats Argentina

 

[Creamium]

Crap, so many chances, but we failed to finish them. Ah well, silver it is.

Nice,we have a good chance...not sure about the girls in soccer,the bronze is against Brazil... ****crosses fingers***
