2016 Summer Olympics

Well...Germany vs Brazil it is.

 

Watching the Brazil vs USA game now, and I've got to say: for a group of women in their early- to mid-30's, not bad. Not bad at all.

 

oh boy, Kerry Walsh-Jennings looks like she is about to flame out of the Olympics.

 

never mind. Huge comeback in the 2nd set.

 

It was their Catalina Wine Mixer - they owned it.

 

First sweep ever for 110m hurdles. USA takes it.

Kerri Walsh-Jennings comes back to win bronze

nice

 

That was a sweet finish and come back for her to get bronze.

 

The US women's 4x100m relay team botched a handoff in their heat.

English Gardner took off too early, so Allyson Felix had to throw the baton at her

Felix was interferred with by the runner in the next lane. Protest filed.

 

Sounds like what happened is that they were too embarrassed to say they broke down a bathroom door and ended up having to pay for it so they fabricated a story about being robbed. Still not smart and it makes Team USA look bad.

Looks like the appeal was successful. The team will get a 2nd chance.

 

Women's 4x100 relay wins appeal. Have to do a time trial at 6pm central and beat the last team in time (China).

 

Didn't take long for them boys to snitch. LOL

Lochte always seemed like a big ol D-bag. This pretty much just confirms what we already knew.

 

Ryan Lochte has always been a douche bag. His reality show stint proved that.

 

They paid for the door why would they then fabricate an armed robbery? It's so dumb.

Lochte fled the country ultra quick and left his teammates high and dry.

 

WE JUST BEAT NORTH KOREA IN WOMEN'S WRESTLING

It was pretty crazy though, she took the lead with 15 seconds left in the match and got another 2-point takedown to seal the deal.

 

wonder why NBC doesn't have the moving world record line in track like they do for swimming

 

Just looked at the medal count from the Chronicle this morning. One thing that jumped out to me, is that Mexico hasn't won one medal as of yet. I counted 80 countries winning at least one medal thus far. Are they not participating?
