2016 Olympic Games, Rio

[Bada-Bing!]

Table tennis at this level is insane and makes me feel pathetic about how i play it.

Yep and I'm not even talking about Ma Long and Zhang Jike who really are off this planet. I expect Drinkall to probably lose in the next round to Samsonov, but he's done bloody well to get to the 4th round.

Yep when you see them hit like 3 shots a second or something stupid and hitting it back from like 6M away onto the table with accuracy makes you appreciate how good some sports can be when it is being played by the best.

Aus favourite ATM IMO.


Anyway time to watch USA v Netherlands Volleyball for sporting reasons.

All the hype of them and they couldn't even beat USA?

Yeh but that was without Caslick (who is basically a female Dan Carter who can run).

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

i really enjoy when the cameras show players giving signals, you know i just love volleyball strategy

I'm prob late to this but this is gold:

GB gave Canada a hell of a hiding, and AUS were very competitive with Canada?

NZ is the form horse in this comp, the world series was meaningless now

And NZ where very competitive V USA (5-0) who got beaten by Fiji.

Point being?

and again wasn't Caslick subbed off V Canada half way in?

Yeah me and my wife were supporting NZ but I'm switching alliegence for this nonsense.

Aus didn't even beat the USA? Nothing Aus has done has been very exceptional if you ask me, is what I am saying.

NZ looks bloody good and are setting the bar very high atm, Woodman and McAlister are the most dangerous players I have seen easily.

Not that we can't be beaten, because we obviously can but that Aussie team is clearly not the fav going by results and form so far at RIO

Haha lies

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

God why are NZ fans so one eyed.

Honestly.



You needed the refs help to beat us.

Everyone knows Caslick ---> everyone else.

we will see come gold medal time.

(thank go for this i would have had to wait till the Ai's for this stuff).

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Well done to Daley and Goodfellow.

 

[ncurd]

Yup glad for them another medal on the board.

First week is always a bit hard as British we don't rack up Golds that quickly normally.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The USA v Netherlands volleyball game was good aswell.

 

[ncurd]

Me and the wife got a little desperate. Still have 3 more decent screens (laptop, computer and tablet) in the house if things get worse.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yeh i have the TV, Computer and Tablet out ATM.

The Olympics is infectious (and not just for the rowers and sailors).

 

[nickdnz]

Anyone have any *ahem* ways of watching the Olympics if one doesn't possess a TV in their flat. Would certainly appreciate a PM.

Find someone in your road who does and watch through their window.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

this has been a good showing by the USA.

That french player (Don't know the name but she has a tattoo on her thigh) is alright. In fact a couple of them are alright like #4
