Super Saiyan Brazil over Germany is the only way to go, haha

LET'S GO BRAZIL, HOME OF VOLLEYBALL

[perfectchaos007]

Italy was robbed that last point. Brazil would have still probably won but still....sucks for the umpire to end it on controversy

 

[Vic]

Super Saiyan Brazil over Germany is the only way to go, haha

Again, it was Italy.

Edit: nvm. I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

 

[LuuKyK]

This Beach volleyball arena is the coolest. The crowd is always lit.

Let's stop this talk right now. Andre is good, but he is not the next Bolt. Not by a long shot. No amount of tinkering and optimization is gonna get him to Bolt's level. Or close to it. Kinda remind me of people saying Jerry Stackhouse or Steve Smith was the next Jordan lol. Or Baby Jordan from the Heat.

While young and with plenty of room for improvement, he is not going to be the "next Bolt". Let us not forget Bolt was doing this when he was around De Grasse's current age of 21 going on 22.



This too, before the 2015 Pan Ams, no one really knew who he was. Sure made a name for himself.

Yeah I don't think he'll be the next Bolt. I just think he can probably do even better next Olympics after a couple of those issues are addressed, that's all

 

[Vibranium]

Man, Canada is doing really great despite setbacks and such, I'm glad to see it. We're one medal away from our goal of 19 I think. Going to miss Bolt so much, the man is the GOAT, him and everyone else know it. I hope he sticks around to promote the sport.

And no, Andre will never touch Bolt. He will still be a really good sprinter, but won't come close to the legend.

 

[Timbuktu]

There will not be a next Bolt. As Simone says, she is the first Simone Biles and whoever can reach that level in athletics will do it not by reminding people of Bolt.

 

[Peru]

Nooo, we lost in a super close match against Russia when I was asleep. Bronze final it is.

 

[mrklaw]

Do we get a final weekend or is it over today?

 

[bjaelke]

Do we get a final weekend or is it over today?

Action all the way to Sunday.

 

[Jamie OD]

There will not be a next Bolt. As Simone says, she is the first Simone Biles and whoever can reach that level in athletics will do it not by reminding people of Bolt.

But until that happens any new successful sprinter will be compared to Bolt in the meantime.

 

[The Chosen One]

But until that happens any new successful sprinter will be compared to Bolt in the meantime.

Just shows how much someone like Lebron hasn't come close to being the best ever. You never hear people constantly comparing Michael Jordan to Dr. J, Kareem, or Wilt (as great s those players were). Jordan is Jordan.

Bolt has accomplished the same thing. Bolt is not a powered-up Carl Lewis or Michael Johnson. Bolt is simply Bolt. That's definitely a good GOAT test.

A GOAT is like a woman you leave your wife and kids for and never look back.

 

[KonradLaw]

Can't help but to feel dissapointed by women's javelin. Poland's Maria Andrejczak missed the bronze by mere 3 cm. Especially since in preliminaries she threw further than the gold medalist did in finale.
Oh well, girl is merely 20, plenty of time before her and after Rio she will get a lot of financial support to continue training.

 

[nilbog21]

does anyone know why some boxers are wearing headgear? I thought they did away with them. I forget who it was but I saw two boxers fighting with head gear on

 

[Peru]

Women's football finals today. Hoping for an early goal against Sweden so the match can move along. Brazil - Canada might be the better entertainment.

 

[Lima]

50km walking STARTING NOW

I've seen the women wearing head gear, but no men. (Haven't seen a great deal of the boxing in fairness)

50km walking STARTING NOW

This is the most grueling sporting event on Olympics. At least in marathon judges won't DSQ you after two wrong steps :x

I wonder how long will Sweden 'bus in penalty area' tactic work today

 

[Brinbe]

Absolutely brutal. That's like 10 hours of normal walking. I remember people collapsing near the end last time around

 

[Charles Brandon]

Can'rt believe I'm going to watch this lol

Anyone but China!

I love it. The technique is insane and the amount of discipline you need is crazy.

 

[Kurtofan]

racewalking is the king of sports, the sport of kings

50km walking STARTING NOW

I liked the first guy who took off at top speed and was caught again soon after! Talk about premature perambulation.

 

[captscience]

50km walking STARTING NOW

Did the leader just, ummm, evacuate his breakfast involuntarily?

 

[Randam]

Did the leader just, ummm, evacuate his breakfast involuntarily?

Looks like it.


And still almost 30 km to go.

When you've gotta go, you've gotta go.

 

[bjaelke]

Lin Dan beasting. 21-15 first set.

jinxed it

 

[captscience]

Looks like it.
And still almost 30 km to go.

Poor guy. The discomfort is one thing but I imagine he'll hit the wall at some point from being under fueled.

 

[Usobuko]

It's not the rivalry of century for badminton if it don't go to the third / final set.

 

[andythinkpad]

Mens badminton, Lin vs Li for the third time in Olympic

 

[andythinkpad]

Lee is going to lose nerve soon!

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Look, I understand that these race walkers are tremendous athletes and this event is a lot harder than it looks, but seriously, this is the GOOFIEST FUCKING THING ever

Brazil at the finals of the Men's Canoe Double 1000m!
