Yooooooooooo
NBC just aired a Dutch woman absolutely destroying herself down a hill on a bike. She was leading and wrecked around a turn hard as fuck. The second place US rider past her a few seconds later and homegirl wasn't moving still laid out on the curb.
Brutally boring up to that point. I can't believe I stopped vacuuming the living room as it happened live.
edit:
She's apparently alright though. So that's good.

S.Korea with their gender-swapped Hanzo's. Arrow hit boxes the size of two cinder blocks duck taped together. Crazy that if you don't hit 9 or 10 every round, against them, you lose.
Edit: USA Women's basketball team is playing Kuroko's basketball. This is oppressive af.

Williams sisters and Djokovic knocked out in the first round. Spain losing to Croatia in basketball.
the fuck

Ain't no body got no time for Olympic football.
Real football has already begun and Manchester United are about to spend the GDP of Benin on a human named Paul Pogba.
We're well past this sideshow.
USA women gymnastics have slayed the team all around though. 10 points clear of China in second heading into Tuesday's final.

I dont know why but this made me chuckle
Oh shit, the only Olympic event I was actually interested in at it has already finished. My Italian boys Fabio and Vincenzo didn't win :((( At least Fabio came 6th in the road race. Showing he can do well in single stage road races.
Please everyone knows the best thing about the Olympics is watching the reggae boys clean up on track.
Fucking hell you see this 19 year old swimmer, katy ledecky or something. I know nothing about swimming but surely she must be some kind of sensation
By Kidjr Go To PostFucking hell you see this 19 year old swimmer, katy ledecky or something. I know nothing about swimming but surely she must be some kind of sensationThe gap between her and second was the same as the gap between first and second of the last six Olympics combined.

Reasons like this why I love the olympics!
Some of NBC's commentators, so much cringe and fuck Al Trautwig too, what is his major malfunction.
Dude says this during broadcast "she was raised by her grandfather and his wife, and she calls them Mom and Dad."
Wut. Then people correct him, not only did those people raise her they formally adopted her, and he doubles down:
What the fuck.

Our hockey ladies showing South Korea how it's done. Too bad our Volleyball ladies couldn't beat the USA, would have been a hell of a surprise.

Decided to try and watch some events that I normally don't watch, this year...
Judo is dope af. I'm blinking and missing people go from 0-100 pts in an instant.
Trap shooting is A1. These reaction times. :wow: I wish I had that speed on the rare occasions that I do it.
Sailing. I didn't know people could be cutthroat sailing those small ass boats. Ole thugging it out on small waves, Jet moto ass...

100m backstroke women's final was insanely close. The difference from first to last was of 0.78 seconds, 2 swimmers tied for bronze with 58.76 while silver finished on 58.75.
Lilly King just backed her shit up in the 100 meter breast stroke. Latest US gold. I like her. She's a swimmer.
Uchimura is the GOAT in Men's Gymnastics.

Gotta love lilly king calling out dopers, regardless of country:

When asked if U.S. athletes who have fallen foul of the drug testers, such as sprinters Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay, deserved to be in Rio, King, 19, pulled no punches.
"I have to respect (the track authorities') decision even if it is something I don't necessarily agree with," King said. "No, do I think people who have been caught doping should be on the team? They shouldn't. It is unfortunate we have to see that.

New Zealand losing to Japan with 1 minute left in Rugby 7's. Sonny Bill out injured and another NZ player out.
I do find it, odd to say the least, I don't get how doping works but I imagine here a list drugs banned but an even longer list that arnt. If Gatlin was really that quick then I don't get why he would have needed the drugs in the first place. But then again I feel like I don't know

If you have any hardcore cyclist fans around you, they may know the best since those guys seem to go to extremes that other athletes don't. In short, not all doping is drugs and people react to doping in different amounts.
Enough about how doping works and feel like it's a fairly complicated thing
One famous type of doping that isn't drugs is blood doping. It requires an athlete to give blood some amount of time before an event, have it stored, then have it transfused back into their system right before the event. It results in them having blood cells that are able to carry more oxygen so they can get just that little bit more performance out of their body. Of course, it can also have an effect over a long period of time like thickening your blood to the point you have to get up every couple hours and exercise or your heart becomes unable to pump the molasses that is your blood anymore.
The best way to test for doping now is to essentially have a doping profile on someone throughout their athletic life. It would track levels of various kinds of things like hormones, white blood cell count, and a billion other things. The athletes would then be tested multiple times a year and the results would be compared to all past tests to determine if there was a significant enough change that could be traced back to doping of some kind. Obviously, this is very expensive, time consuming, and intrusive so it isn't done much outside of cycling, iirc.
Another thing about doping is that different bodies respond to it in different ways. If doping was allowed, the people putting on the best performances would have some combination of good natural athletic genes and genes that respond well to doping.

I didn't know that this was a thing. Nightmarish.
By Esch Go To PostDaps to Phelps. Wins American gold, smokes bongs. Only thing to hate him for is sponsoring Subway
Well Subway did support a pedo....Not a lost at all
Ahhhhh only .04 seconds off... I wish Sakai was able to win another gold and beat America at another America dominated event. Phelps is so good tho so I can't knock him on that.
Still legit happy that Hagino and Seto were able to get Gold and Bronze during the 400m IM.
