2016 Summer Olympics Underway

I hope things go well for Brazil in running this thing.

I'm watching the US women's basketball team in basically a glorified scrimmage against Senegal.

 

I watch women's beach volleyball... because reasons.

 

The new zealand women's rugby 7s team is scary as Firk.

 

what about womens hockey?

what about womens hockey team?
(old picture)

 

I watched that US turner girl. She's pretty fantastic, and very elegant, but ... so much muscle o_o

 

If this thread ends up being a "which female olympics category do you like the best *wink wink nudge nudge*" thread I'm not sure what I'll think of you people... XD

 

how dare you, we watch women's volleyball, football and hockey because they generally use way more tactics in their team play.

also the skirts and shorts.

and then there's what looks like a group of prisoners from a labour camp in china.

and this I think is a group of inmates from a US women's prison?

 

eating is a physical activity tho

 

so is walking. I mean, it wears me out sometimes, so its a physical activity right?

 

What no one's mentioned women's tennis or gymnastics???

Changing gender mentions here. I see Venezuela's basketball team is getting under the skin of the US team. A bit into the second quarter the US leads, but not by a huge margin (4 points). It would help if they quit turning the ball over so much. Well maybe they can get their bad game out of the way.

 

someone put black boxes over the clothes of Olympic beach volleyball.

 

Can you imagine averaging faster than 5 1/2 minute miles for 26 of them? That's what the women were doing this morning in the marathon.

 

I don't think Phelps has the endurance for the 10 km open water. but it is nice to have both the mens and womens gold in those categories go to people from my country.

personally I have not been above sea level for months so I guess it makes sense.

And hey we might not get as many medals as all you U-statesians but per capita we are in the top 20...

looking at belgium at 31, russia at 39 and US at 41 Git on our level son.

 

The per capita stat makes me wonder what the metal per GDP ratio is.

 

same website got you covered: http://www.medalspercapita.com/#medals-by-gdp:2016

medals weighted as such: gold = 4, silver = 2, bronze = 1

 

2nd place. Firk you China.

 

These horrible French and English cyclists are driving Dutch people up the Firking wall.


Literally.

 

You're just jealous of our success in the cycling.

 

That's the Dutch space program.
