2012 London Olympic Games - Day Two - General Thread

[SHARPIE]

Water polo guys wear speedos instead of those ugly suits the swimmers wear. Also, water polo is intense. They try to drown each other.

Wow you have coverage?

Even though I hate this effing country, it was hard not to get crazy delirious about us trashing Italy in fantastic style in volleyball!

My tv is broken and I had no clue that it was all live on eurovision.tv! Thanks a lot Fred!

North Korea get gold in judo. Cuba silver.

Which proves that Judo is an eville commie sport.

Commentators dream name:

Easy.

More of a yesterday void, but I'm going to have SO much fun with the name "Destinee Hooker" at these Olympics. :rockstar;

I guess school wasn't much fun for her.

Dont be so childish! Im still pondering whether I have had a valid lift in my snatch

If you train with Tatyana Kozhevnikova - who can hold 14kg with her snatch - that is a skill you might gain.

That's cause you're Polish.

In other news, Spain got beaten 1-0 by Honduras and are out of the football.

I'm watching water polo and I have no clue what the hell is going on

I'm watching fencing and I have no clue what the hell is going on.

It's making me that there's a lot of histrionic screaming and pumping of fists after an attack in the quarterfinal...by BOTH competitors. And then the referee destroys the hopes of one of them.

If you hit somebody you get a point?

If both people hit each other the person who hits first gets the point?

(Just guessing, I have no clue either )

It's something like that. But it goes so fast that I don't know what just happened. The drama of it is entertaining though!

Also, I knew a guy in high school who competed internationally in sabre. He was ridiculously fast!

Now onto judo. It's...certainly different from what I expected! The women look like they're catfighting when they're testing each other out before grabbing. There's a lot of testing.

[oleada]

Also, sometimes they hit and it doesn't count! It's very confusing. But entertaining.

Yes, I learned that by watching the men. Such drama between the Japanese and South Korean!

Yup, and already (somewhat deservedly) ripped to shreds in the Spanish press.

I didn't think they played badly at all in the second half, but it clearly hasn't been their tournament, either. Muniain might get suspended by the Spanish fed from International play for intentionally bumping into the ref.
