So, I'm surprised there's no thread on here yet about this so I'll start it.

London 2012 Summer Olympics | Videos, Dates, Photos, News, Schedule

Talk here anything Olympics related, swimming, basketball, track and field, favorite country, favorite event, how so many of the athletes are tested positive for doping, pics of your favorite athlete(s), etc.

K_style · 07-25-2012, 11:08 AM

Yes, I am surprise we didnt have a thread about Olympics yet.

Soccer, Basketball, Track and field (100, 200mm) and Swimming would be my favorite

Also interested in Baseball this year..

tricky_ab · 07-25-2012, 06:12 PM

I'm watching a bunch of stuff track stuff for sure. I usually watch as many events as I possibly can...

*slider2828* · 07-26-2012, 10:11 AM

Soccer already started yesterday with US just edging out another team in the last moments. Then Japan women's won and Japan men just beat SPAIN! 1-0 this morning....

Get the android app... It streams LIVE HD!!! Its very high quality and really nice.

K_style · 07-26-2012, 10:48 AM

*Soccer

Japan beat Spain by 1:0.. wow. and S.Korea was 0:0 with Mexico..

Spain had only 10 players but still hard to believe Japan beat Spain..

My friend called me earlier as he was watching the game. He was over the moon...

It's nice to see the underdogs pulling through with big wins this early in the competition.

***S14DB*** · 07-27-2012, 10:19 PM

Bahaha, Look at Camilla giving the WTF look in the upper left.

NBC selectively editing the opener once again. Looks like the rest of the games will be only what they deem worthy. Rest of the sports you can watch on the 56k streaming.

WERDdabuilder · 07-28-2012, 01:15 AM

yeah i was hoping she'd get up and slap him in the back off the head with a rolled up news paper.

Japan was just out hustling Spain in the game. I saw the Japanese players sprinting after the ball on every possession. Although my roommate told me that Spain wasnt allowed to play their first team..I mean if they did..no other country would stand a chance..

Gnnr · 07-28-2012, 07:24 PM

Ok, its fucking impposible to find out when anything is on TV that is a LIVE event.

Yeah, they know people are pissed off at what they are showing on TV. So their solution is to be vague on what's going to be on TV. If you got a problem with that, watch the raw feed online.

Online streaming buffer overflows till it maxes out your CPU or ram. The Phone/Tablet quality is much better now but the ads are ridiculous. You think they would have learned from last time.

Gnnr · 08-01-2012, 09:13 PM

I think this website now sums up how I now feel about these Olympics:

Fuck the Olympics

DJDANGER24 · 08-01-2012, 10:02 PM

Not sure what cable provider you guys have, but COX here in SD has about 4 channels dedicated to live Olympic events. Its under XXX Summer Olympics, not sure what's the deal with the XXX.

It's the games of the 30th Olympiad.

turninheadz · 08-02-2012, 12:38 PM

apart from the eight women disqualified in badminton for "not using one's best efforts to win a match", have there been any other scandals going on?

well, i read an article yesterday about women's fencing competition in the olympics about how there was a controversial call in a match against a german woman and south korean woman. apparently the south korean lost over some questionable judging, cried for a bit, and stood there for like an hour in protest before being physically escorted away. i think the crowd kind of felt it was a questionable call too.

she was awarded some kind of special medal by the fencing board and they apologized that their equipment was able to be used accurately in judging the competition saying something about how their equipment could only read a few tenths of a seconds when it should be able to read at a few hundreds of second (or something along those lines).
