2012 London Olympic Games - Day Eight- General Thread

I'm watching men's waterpolo and it's the USA vs Serbia. It's so intense; I think they're trying to kill each other.

One of the Serbian waterpolo players is Ana Ivanovic's new boyfriend...

Jesus. USA had MPs in men's volleyball, only to miss them and have Russia destroy them in the last two and in the tiebreak.

That was SO irritating.

They just tanked. It was theirs to lose...and they did. ;)

Why did they tank?

[milanessa]

Why did they tank?

I'm not sure what you're asking. They started strong and finished weak. The Russians killed 'em in the last 3 sets.

Oh, I just thought you were serious when you said they'd tanked.

I watched the first set and a half and the US looked way superior and the Russians looked like headcases. :shuffle:

Sorry.

They are doing so well.. all that preparation in the sports has really paid off :D Killing it in the track cycling .. so impressive..

I don't get indoor cycling at all.

Even for water polo, which is usually intense.
