Track and Field coverage.9-10: Beach Volleyball!10-12: MICHAEL PHELPS MICHAEL PHELPS MICHAEL PHELPS and some other swimming and US Men vs. China in volleyball.12:00-? Women's 10,000m final and women's 3m springboard qualification.
>>254593that's eastern time right?
>>254599Yes.
I hope they don't actually show the full 10,000 meter race. I hope they skip most of it like they did with women's time trial cycling.
The olympics gets shitty from here on out.
>>8-9: Interview with Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin.While they'll only get a 5% viewership rating for men and women ages 18-35, they'll have the pedophile market cornered from 8-9.
>>254622Since it's after midnight, they'll probably show the top three which should go at least 40 minutes. Nothing else going on there unless you like non-US handball between two ass-ugly countries.
>>254667I can't imagine a handball team looking worse than women's runners.
>>254670Angola, Brazil and Hungary will prove you wrong
Gymnastics coverage in a few minutes!
What track and field events are they showing?
I'm going to say I hate NBC's West Coast coverage every day of the Olympics.
I was expecting a public execution for the Chinese gymnast who won bronze.
>>254716That's tomorrow at 11.
>>254707It looks like they're are just showing finals until they get to their showcase talent. Only 10,000m tonight.
>>254667what's an ugly country like?
>>254727An ugly country's general population looks kind of like WNBA players.
>>254733Oh dear lord....
>>254716see>>251951
>>254716No. She'll be sent to a work camp until she reaches puberty.
I'm watching baseball until they quit showing this gymnastics replay. Where is the excitement? We already know who won.
The Olympics? But pre-season football is on!
Man this old dude on NBC is awesome!
I love this Bella guy.. I want one in my house.
Did anyone catch that commercial for The Office, where the character said The Olympics need a centathalon?I think a centathalon would be the most awesome event ever.
Why doesn't NBC show any track and field events online?
>>254778Ok, name 100 sports.
We need a picture of that old guy...
WOW!!!
>>254783>>254778Jim Thorpe would win it.

They're showing some track events now!
>>25480535. Bass fishing
Lopez Lomong needs to make a move in this race, he's really far behind.
Lomong is making a move, he's still about 5th from last though with just a lap left.
He's in third!
>>254793>>254796>>254802>>254805>>254810there are 32 events in swimming alone, or are you counting it all as one? because i just see 100m free listed.....
ZOMG one of the guys in green shorts had his nuts hanging out!!!
>>254823You could get away with a Medley. Fly/Back/Breast/Free
>>254823Feel free to add them to the list, I only put down the 200m freestyle because it's one of my favorites.
Oh boy, it's beach volleyball time!
>>254710I hate the west coast coverage as well.
>>254838Has west coast coverage even started yet?
>>254845Doesn't start for another 2 hours.
>>254847That ridiculous.
I've gotten a bit tired of beach volleyball.I'd rather play volleyball than watch it.
Question: Is anyone out there bored with or tired of the Michael Phelps coverage? If so, what the fuck is the matter with you?
>>254858I'm not bored by it.It's pretty exciting.
>>254873It's a little erotic.
When does Phelps race tonight?
>>254857Never been a fan of beach volleyball but i love the indoor team volleyball. Lots more action and longer volleys = more tension and a better viewing experience.
>>254879Whenever he feels like it, bitch.
Uptown Girl WTF
>>254879Swimming coverage starts around 9:00. I don't know when Phelps races though.
I'm actually checking out handball, and I'm intrigued. It's against two teams with shitty records, but my god this is an energetic game. It mixes the good parts of indoor soccer and basketball with almost baseball-like throws and it's seriously drawing me in.
>>2549009:10
Ah fuck, I was watching that volleyball.
WHY THE FUCK did they switch from that awesome volleyball match for this shit swim competition
>>254934Because the swim takes like 10 minutes and it's a gold event. Phelps comes on in 5 minutes though.
>>254934OH FUCK MATCH POINT
lol Zimbabwe
>>254934because PHELPS PHELPS PHELPS PHELPS PHELPS BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE
for the winnnnnnnn GOT IT
lol the foreign guys are crying over the loss
FUCK YEAH VOLLEYBALL. Back from 0-6 to win!
Fun fact: The American Beach Volleyball team went from being down 7-0 to up 15-13 and a win.
Coventry is a cunt....but WHO CARES MICHAEL PHELPS IS ABOUT TO SWIM
Imma slap somebody if Phelps loses to Crocker. Fucker gonna be all drafting and shit.
Uh Oh time to eat babies and shit gold.
HAHAHAHAH OHHHHHHHHHHH SHHIIIIIIIIIITTTTT
1/100 of a second.WOW.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCK YESPHELPS PHELPS PHELPS
GOD DAMNIT
They said Cavic trained in the states?
WOW.
Phelps lost...gift gold
phelps is gonna be on TV for the next few years doing cameos and endorsements.
best race ever
>>255005It's all done by computer timing you idiot, how is it a gift gold?
>>255018It was even better 400m freestyle relay.Races don't get any better than that.
>>255005I wish I could taste your tears right now.Bottle them for me would you, please?
>>255050USfag here and I'm rooting for Phelps...it just looked too damn close. Do you know how much NBC stands to lose by Phelps losing his 8 for 8 bid prematurely? They could easily buy a single gold medal. I'd love to see it investigated a bit closer
>>255092Dude, it was a frame by frame of it. Cavic coasted in, Phelps gave that half lap and basically slammed his hand on the wall. The difference is this close, literally.
>>255092lol.... so they knew phelps would make it a photofinish so they bought the medal?
>>255092While I can see gymnastics or boxing being rigged, how on earth do you rig something with computer timing?
>>255092You are a moron.
stupidfag herewhat does OR mean?
>>255092That was actually what I thought- at first.The problem was that the camera is chilling on lane 1, so the angle is kind of skewed for the shot they showed the most.They used the bird's eye camera and it looked like it was the SAME time. Fuck it was close.Then they play it at like 1/100 time. It was still fucking close, but you COULD see that Cavic didn't recoil off the wall until after Phelps did.But it was fucking close.
Spitz is pissed.
>>255141Olympic Record.Record compared to times set in the olympics.
>>255005BAWWWWW FAGGOT
>>255141Olympic Record
Damn I love shawn johnson. She lives around an hour from where I do. One good reason to live in iowa eh?
>>255143Sounds logical, I'll take it. I'd be fuckin pissed if I were Cavic...Never clipping fingernails again.>>255147dude...really? I'm rooting for Phelps its almost UnAmerican not to.That last replay just shown makes it look like Phelps won it clear
>>255150So he's not getting all world records? :( Oh well. At least he'll get 8 golds.HOLYFUCKHOLYFUCKHOLYFUCKHOLYFUCKHOLYFUCKHOLYFUCKANOTHER FUCKING RELAYHOLY FUCK
>>255163The only good reason, lets do be honest.
LMFAO @ PROTEST
Oh boy, men's 50 meter final!
and it's already over!
>>255174Agreed. But she's still hot.
That was fast.
Jesus, that guy didn't even breathe while swimming.
>>255222Actually, its pretty easy on a 50.Just hold your breath, jump up and down for 25 seconds and exhale. It'll hurt, sure, but remember that they're olympians.
Man, I can't believe someone lodged a protest over Phelp's win.
REAL AMERICAN HERO
>>255258And just lost it, I think. Phelps out-touched him.
>>255227I did a 50 once without breathing.It was horrible.
When does that 41 year old woman race?
Here comes the 41 year old.
My dad just called Dara Torres buff.D: D: D:
lol torn suitdara torres to the rescue dumb cunt
>>255302The worst part is the flip turn.But keep telling yourself that you'll get the oxygen you fucking need at the wall, not the pool and you'll fucking move.
Torres won!
>>255370yeah she won a semifinal, nigger
FUCK YEAH DARA TORRESThough it's only a semi.
Dara is a class act.
>>255163A guy I know went to the same high school as her in West Des Moines, he has a 16 year old brother. I gotta find out if he knows her.
>>255374She still won though dummy.
>>255382She Phelps real mom
>>255385cell pl0x.
>>255412My friend's brother? I don't have it. If I did I probably wouldn't give it to you.
Are these 100 meter races live of tape delayed?
That steam of the patty in that McDonald's commercial was computer generated.Seriously, who actually eats there? I know none of the Olympians do.
>>255516GN Sports: What about your diet? Are you always eating super healthy?Michael Phelps: I eat pretty much whatever I want. I don't have a strict diet. It's all about cramming in as many calories into my system as I possibly can. To be honest with you, I have a tough time keeping weight on.IGN Sports: What about fast food?Michael Phelps: Bring it on!
What's an Asian doing in the 100 meter dash?
>>255544Big surprise he was last!
>>255541You know if he eats fast food, he's eating Zaxby's or something. Even if they're eating unhealthy things, they're not eating food that tastes horrible too.Also, they just mentioned my hometown!
>>255516I read that one of the swimmers (I think Lochte) has basically only been eating mcdonalds his whole time at Beijing.
>>255544looooooosing
>>255544LOL last place.
>>255544China is trying to insitute a program called 117. As in, the number of gold medals they want to win in these olympic games from events you normally don't see asians in.Also, they're trying to make Master Chief.
>>255541brb, McDonald's
>>255541Because swimming is actually one of the most intense workouts you can have. It burns a shitton of calories and you never notice because you're in an 81 degree pool.
Did you see that sick ass serve? It literally knocked that Chinese off his feet. Holy shit...
Oh no, local news is on my TV instead of Olympics!
Swimming is the best thing ever, it's a great workout and it's fun as hell.
