The guy with the moon ball serve in beach volleyball is really cool. Or maybe it's a "sun" ball serve.

ugly wreck by Dutch female cyclist, hope she's all right.

Watched the last five minutes of the Lithuania Brazil basketball game. Brazil went from down 30 to close to within ten, then forgot to foul in last minute. Horrible ending.

Prolly ask Slate. I know you have a hard time with my judgement on this topic.

I wish some other network would broadcast the Olympics. NBC is so terrible it hurts.

I agree. They have so many channels at their disposal but they want to squeeze all the feature sports into their main channel prime time slot and you miss a lot of the action. Gymnastics has been going on for over an hour and all they have shown is the delayed tape of the American girls. I've been catching the coverage live online. Also, their website to keep track of the athletes and sports is awful. Things that should be easy to find are a pain in the ass to get to.

You're probably watching last night's men's competition.

How does she avoid a career ending injury over a 25 year career? It's her seventh Olympics.

We've been watching as much as we can today. So far very enjoyable Olympiads especially given all the concern about chaos in Rio. It's absolutely incredible to think what goes into organizing these games.

It's surprising they aren't being streamed in some fashion. From what I've heard they are only available to those with a cable television package.
