Medal for Guatemala in speed walking! Their first ever Oly medal (I think.)

Wonderful!

I'm watching the Brazil-Serbia volleyball game and man, those Brazilians are a bunch of whiners. And their fans are annoying. I never thought I would actually end up rooting for Serbia against Brazil. :lol:

Boooo!!!:mad:
Who are you calling whiners?? The referee made a glaring error on the 1st set.
These men are gods :drama: :soapbox:

And coach Bernardo Resende is hot divah in charge :glamor:
(saying he's intense is an understatement :lol:)

And about rude brazilian fans, get used to us. You'll be having a lot of us come 2014 and 2016 :P

Now, can we have a medal for Ireland please. Just one???! :D

Eys please! :drama:


Medal race is also worth double points Freddy....so if she's down in 7th, she gets 14 points etc. Eeek. I am going to be American and BELIEVE!!!!!!!!! She won 4 of these bastards, lets do one more baby! 1 more!

Failure is easier to take when you're pessimistic. Would love to be proven wrong but I'm sensing a FORTH! :drama:

I think Ireland stands an EXCELLENT shot at at least one medal! Katie Taylor only has to win one match and she clinches at LEAST a bronze medal. She's the world champion and has been dominant. I expect her to be on the podium with no issues.

It's the Olympics. Anything can happen and she'll face either a British or an American boxer in her first fight. It's not going to be easy that's for sure.
