August 9, 20169 yr There has been that slight kerfluffle about how a bunch of news reports on the female athletes winning medals has been a bit.... "wife of so and so wins gold" Not even putting the athletes name in the headline, just their being a wife of a Chicago linebacker or similar. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
August 9, 20169 yr The booing of Efimova is amusing. Wonder if Gatlin will get the same. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
August 9, 20169 yr USA women's gymnastic team are stellar but the men sure aren't... Wonder whether Netherlands women can get silver before China and Russia. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
August 9, 20169 yr The booing of Efimova is amusing. Wonder if Gatlin will get the same. I actually ended up rooting for her. I found the American TV shills and Lilly King especially insufferable.

August 9, 20169 yr All American swimmers are insufferable tbh. That's true. ...though I liked Summer Sanders and Janet Evans. Natalie Coughlin is also pretty chill despite going to Carondelet for high school.

August 9, 20169 yr Minimum age to enter gymnastics is 16 but the Chinese look 12 again. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
August 9, 20169 yr Germany's women's football team should be ashamed. Canada plays like some vision of England. Barely able to dribble Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
August 9, 20169 yr Chinese girls might not even make the gymnastics podium heh The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
August 9, 20169 yr Do women football players ever challenge? It's like watching kids play on a schoolyard. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
August 10, 20169 yr I haven't been watching the Olympics but I always enjoy women's soccer more than men's. Not just because our women's team is vastly more successful but also because they flop waaaay less often. They also seem to play smarter with less hero ball But what do I know, I stopped playing soccer in the youth league Free games updated 3/4/21
August 10, 20169 yr and that's 20 golds for phelps Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

August 10, 20169 yr Solo's obviously solely interested in the Olympic Village afterparties. Some cute Colombian players though. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
August 10, 20169 yr lol @ USA struggling against Australia weren't they supposed to be good at sports they invented? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

August 11, 20169 yr They better take Carmelo Anthony out for a steak dinner tonight. He just saved them in the 4th. Favorite part of the game was Cousins having another patented meltdown; getting benched --throwing a tantrum, then Draymond having to go up to him and telling him to CHILL THE F-- DOWN. Oh Boogie, don't ever change. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
August 11, 20169 yr Holy moly, down by relay more than point five, anchor Ledecky wins by nearly plus two. Goddess. All Stop. On Screen.
