If you are not watching this, why watch the olympics...
there's a reason why Baldini is a gold medalist and world champion. I had hoped he would be more washed up then this....
Oh well. Nine touches on Baldini. Man up for the next World Cup, Race.
and england of course. the young lady did well
but how about the germans getting 1st and 3rd?
Meanwhile, Baldini fencing like a man determined after being booted out of Beijing for false doping allegations. The top 4 should be fascinating.
I don't think anyone saw that coming.
The entire continent of South America barely ever does anything at the Olympics except in volleyball, basketball, soccer and sailing.
It isn't really surprising, although with how long some of these events have been going, you'd have to think that there would be just a freak victory somewhere- like having that one good gymnast, runner or swimmer that gets in there and medals in a event.
Well, that seems to be happening before our eyes in Men's foil today. Though I wouldn't call it freak. Dude has looked awesome and has knocked off two World Champions in Joppich and Cassara.
You could also have someone from Europe or the U.S. with dual citizenship, who gets shut out of their own country's team and competes for their ancestral homeland instead. For example, French-born Benjamin Boukpeti won a surprise bronze for Togo in slalom canoe in Beijing. It is the only Olympic medal Togo has ever won in any sport. But such things are rare almost by definition.
Sad face for Canadian. :(
Should be a heck iof an ending.
It's still Lei's right of way, and still a risky risky attempt by the Egyptian. If Lei finishes and puts a light on, even after he gets hit, its his attack. But Abouelkassem's timing and distance is perfect.
That is both incredibly stupid and yet also entirely expected with the IOC.
Announcers like alliteration.
NBC won't let sports fans watch events live as a way to inflate the ratings of their casual-audience-wanting-a-human-interest-story primetime broadcasts, you think they give a damn for history?
Besides, "Magnificent Seven" had been taken already as well.
I'm sorry, but the NCAA records inform me that Michigan did not have a basketball team for those years. You must be mistaken.
Some of both, but sour grapes are definitely part. For proof, compare the NBC announcers' "I'm not saying, I'm just saying" routine with Ye to the kid gloves they're going to give to convicted American drug cheat Jessica Hardy when she swims.
Baseball writers don't know what you mean.
They can only give ten medals total in fencing
What's the purpose of that? Swimming has about 267 medals.
Yes, I'm watching field hockey. The Olympics are great, I'm watching sports I don't know the rules to.
They have probably just not begged and kowtowed enough yet.
Swimming is the backbone of the first week of the Olympics and have entrenched power. Swimming depends on the Olympics as their big showcase, but the Olympics also needs swimming as the big event before track & field.
Heh.
I'm so vain that I'd choose pole vaulter, because they train all the muscles that make you look good but nothing to excess.
I keep running into sports where I have no idea what they are trying to do, the rules, strategy anything. It is great.
For real athleticism you have to go to Olympic village and the other events.
For years, I've considered handball the consensus favorite obscure sport of good sportswriters. Take that how you will.
Nevermind, Zagunis went on a run and won.
I've had 'Rapture' stuck in my head for two days thanks to this. Fortunately there are worse songs to have stuck in your head.
That said, there should never be a situation in a tournament where you are incentivized to lose. If there aren't enough courts to play the games simultaneously, then randomize the draw or something.
Segway fencing is an Olympic sport?!
Write me up for the Portland Vinyls franchise.
Why should the Olympics be different than any other facet of life or sports? They were attempting to use the rules in a manner to gain an advantage.
Also, you know how USA boxing was doing well over the weekend. Well, the weekend is over.
The Olympics are supposed to be different from other sporting enterprises, that's what I mean. I realize they are not.
And I love sportsmanship, so I wish it weren't so, but the blame in the badminton scandal is entirely on the organizers for setting up a situation that allowed it. As it turns out, they were even told by the coaches at the beginning of the olympics that this would happen, and they dismissed it out of hand.
