Openings are 3 hours later.
I dont think its gonna be better than Atina or Beijing but still cool.
Anyone interested?
Hell yeah, I love the Olympics. Stoked about USA basketball, watching some women's soccer, women's gymnastics, women's track, Usain Bolt look like he's running on air, and my newest found gem of a sport (I love curling in the winter) handball. Really don't get why it hasn't caught on over here.
I'm totally excited for this!! Got my DVR ready in case I'm busy with Christian Bale so I can watch it. I love the diving,free/breast/butterfly,of course the gymnastics and track. And Curling,are you for real?!? Everytime I saw that I laughed,I could soo own that shit cause I can clean floors like no other. haha!
lol
yeah girls are good at curling.
but the real funny part is their screaming !
curling is fucking amazing. so much strategy involved!
maybe it's just me and my friends though. we also think frisbee golf should be an olympic sport.
I would love to see the opening ceremony live but sadly that wont happen until 7 hours later,thanks NBC! Im looking forward to Basketball,Soccer,Taekwondo,Gymnastics,Dive and some other too.

They showed so many legends.
But still pretty weak opening aganist others
Now only burning of the torch part left for the openings.

I just don't see it. You clear the ice of debris/smooth it out to get the granite to slide further. I'm for real trying out for that. But I would watch it just because it made me laugh.
So...the soccer started a few day's ago? How is that?

I guess they gotta make it fit all during these 2 weeks :P My GF is excited watching this Opening Ceremony and I gotta say it is boring and IMO does not top Japan's Opening Ceremony.

Nagano, 1998?
Yeah it wasn't that great,it just now came on again here. I mean I guess for people that don't know any history it's a lesson for them. But it was just meh to me,though I loved hearing David Bowie. <3

Sorry Im kinda sleepy
Being a Canadian, I don't really give a shit about summer olympics. It seems incredibly lackluster this time too. People don't seem as excited as past olympics. Maybe if they brought baseball back I'd watch. I won't be paying attention though.

Just be glad you don't live in the UK. Everyone's been sucking there own dicks over it for the last 12 months. Danny Boyle was pretty much just clutching at any straws he could I thought. It was just one crazy mind numbing clusterfuck of an opening ceremony in my opinion. I'm with you, I will try my best to not pay attention.
On a slightly related note. McDonalds give away free olympic coke glasses and people go retarded for them because they have it in their heads they with appreciate in value. Dumb fucks.
I literally didn't know the Olympics had started until this morning. I had forgotten all about them and I haven't heard a word about them from anyone else either. God I love Canada. If there's no hockey... fuck it.
Canada sent one of the most competitors of this Olimpics
I guess it was over 250
Your every TV channel should have show them
Too bad they didn't include karate and squash after dropping baseball and softball as Olympic sports.
So far no medal for any athlete from my country, but I am more the sports addict than a patriot anyways. Looking forward to the USA-France basketball game in two hours, after that beach volleyball and table-tennis in the evening.

They gave tae kwon do which is close.
sure is nice to watch basketball games with refs that make the correct calls.
usa is not gonna lose aganist Argentina, but they will lose aganist a european country. Im telling you
Maybe a loss to Spain or Lithuania would be good so they can shut the hell up about them being able to beat the 1992 Dream Team.
loool
Spain is out of the Olympics on Soccer !!!!!! Honduras play its game and I could see a lot of hard fouls from Spain,mostly because they were frustrated still they looked bad. Very glad Uruguay lost too specially for that racist cunt player they have Suarez.
i dont even know what Honduras is.
Poor Spain.
Divers faces, mid dive.

haha awesome. What's a Honduras?
Watch the womens volleyball game between USA-Brazil and right now !! Great stuff, USA should win that first set now, the match is much closer than the scoreline suggests, though
USA 156 -73 Nigeria
wow, that must be a olimpic record or something.
Volleyball matches are so fucking exciting. Both men and women.
Olympic record for points scored, point differential, and field goal percentage. What a fuckin beatdown.
But yeah, I'm still rockin' handball, US volleyball and womens gymnastics whenever it's been on. Can't wait for track and field events to start up tomorrow though.
The only thing NBC puts is water sports aaaaaaaall fucking day.
^ I'm watching most of the Olympics on official live streams, maybe your countries broadcasters offer a service like that as well... i'd go nuts if I had to watch cycling + swimming on eurosport all day.
Todays highlights for me: everything Tennis related, especially the Mens and Womens Singles Semi-Finals. And Mixed Doubles is gonna be cool, too.
Also lots of Womens beach volleyball all morning, and Womens volleyball later in the day. Honestly I think today I'm not gonna leave my apartment.
Our does have live streams online. But they also deliberately don't show the best events on tv until the evening and spend the whole day pretending like no one here uses the internet and already knows what fucking happens.
Thank god to my country then.
6 channels always online both on tv and internet and they show different sports.
Also the commentaries are pretty good at it.
I donno if that would help but : http://www.tivibu.com.tr/olimpiyat.tvb (http://www.tivibu.com.tr/olimpiyat.tvb)
It is turkish btw.
But you can find the ''Eurosport'' streams,too.
Here is NBC,Bravo,MSNBC,Telemundo West,Telemundo West and that is it.
Bravo and Telemundo are the only channels putting different things.For NBC and their other channels the only shit they put is Volleyball,Swimming,Waterpolo,Beach Volleyball and keep on sucking on Phelps' dick aaaaaall day.I would watch it online but it is not the same :/ What a shitty company putting the same shit over and over.I hope they put the Taekwondo competition next week.
43 Minutes had passed and so far they didnt show shit of Track and Field.Now they are once again sucking on Phelps' dick.
That's cuz Phelps is awesome, brah
lol
On soccer Brazil-Mexico for the final match REALLY? LMAO I really dont know why countries like South korea or Japan go,they cant compete on soccer for shit.
Football isn't big as an Olympic sport, and I think its good that way. When Spain and Uruguay don't survive the group stage, you know they didn't bring their best squads to London.
Looking forward to Tae Kwon Do today!!
Also Argentina vs. Brazil, both in Volleyball and another time in Basketball, should be good competition today.
Because Olimpics is more the way about amateur sports.
And football doesnt need olimpics to be watched or loved.
Thats why athletism and this kind of sports are more important than football or basketball in olimpics.
Its the spirit.
ummm the Japan women made the gold medal match
Pretty fair display of TaeKwondo today.It made me remember of my good old days when I used to practice it.Waiting for finals now :) Track And Field was good too so far.
I dont know the name but ''artistic gymnastics'' was pretty dope today.
You should really watch that stuffs.
What better then artistic gym is ''artistic ice skating'' on winter sports

To be honest I would watch that with my GF but I just didnt want to post it,I thought I would look gay LMAO
i feel looked little bit gay lol
Mexicans won on soccer,that means new coach for Brazil?
Wow, Spain totally had it but they missed so many points on last period aganist USA.
That Gasols are so godlike.
Conrats Usa.
and today the next dilemma for Brazil, losing the Volleyball Gold Medal match against Russia. Epic stuff there, blowing a 2:0 lead in sets. Russia was good, no doubt about that but that was totally their own fault... maybe the women put too much pressure on them, winning their Gold Medal match yesterday.
Overall I enjoyed the Olympics, but I am also happy that the football season begins soon.
By the way, in case anyone heard of the football match where a Benfica SL player knocked out the referee, that was a friendly match against my club! How stupid of Luisao, hes gonna get a ban for that, 2-3 months I'd say.
a punch on a refree?
i say 1 year..
