Come on ladies, hang on to that lead

What's all this talk about opening up their hips?

Oh, and Hope Solo is WoM for me. Buffonesque performance.

 

[Gerd]

how is that medal count going, Gerdy?

The chinese are one forward , still have to see the result of the tae kwon do final and the final result of the women's football

Had to save energy for the push-ups.

Japan has some of the best travelling sports fans, IMO.

that's probably not the latest count 'cuase I have been watching the americans have a field day in athletics for a 2nd day in a row now. My guess is the US is already ahead even in the gold medal count.
Tough to be chinese now that all those disciplines full of chinese women with an adam's apple and a crotch bulge bigger than mine are finally over

The americans just passed the chinese

they have won only 1 medal in athletics today

That was a GREAT final between US-Japan, and I say that as someone who hardly likes Womens football. Feel for Japan, amazing performances to this final, too wasteful in final itself. Was rooting for them a bit due to past games, but that american player, Morgan, she is too annoyingly good

...

I am not counting just the gold medals
the US today had gold and bronze in women's long jump and gold and silver in men's triple long jump, among others ... so, I am still not sure you had the most up-to-date count there

9 of their gold medals were in badminton and table tennis.

Wow, that's awesome.

Too bad they didn't have slip n' slide, hula hoops, and toss across competitions.


They probably could have dominated those, too

She's a Cal alum too.

lol , 16 of us medals came from swimming

the chinese got everything in badminton and table tennis , give those 2 disciplines 30 medals each and we would see a terrible gap between them and the us , swimming has 30+ medals

Hate to say it, but that's exactly my attitude towards a lot of Olympic events.

Who would have thought a Japanese team would do that? They do it from every level at every gender, it's the style of rolling game they play.

The US did well though, nice rivalry going on now.

Well done to Nicola Adams with her gold in the boxing.

As for the sprint events, one way traffic now.

mind you, Gerdy, swimming has been an olympic sport from day one of the modern Olympics ... probably even the ancient greeks had it too.

Badminton and table tennis became olympic sports probably not even 20 years ago ... likely in an attempt to popularize the olympics in the far east.

it still counts , i doubt that the greeks had swimming as a competition , the most traditional olympic games from my knowledge are , discus throw , throw put , javelin throw and running . Still just because it has been before doesn't mean anything , it still has a fucking ton of medals

I used to think like that, but ultimately just because I don't understand, care about, or watch a sport doesn't mean a lot of skill doesn't go into it. China have 1.3 billion people, and ping pong and badminton are national sports, so they are going to be extremely good at them.

of course it does - it's a traditional sport, a center piece of the olympics along with athletics ... not some hoola-hoop competition that was added mainly to increase the amount of viewers/revenue from the far east.
