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.
The drugs Russia was busted for using?
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.
How does she avoid a career ending injury over a 25 year career? It's her seventh Olympics.
She's not Russian.
Oh whoops
She did compete for the Unified Team back in Barcelona in 1992.
Ah ok. I can't believe Romania can't field a gymnastic team
Very sad. Politics freaks everything in the ass.
Cuban girl almost fell off the balance beam but who can blame her. What those girls do on that narrow beam is amazing. Easily the toughest thing to do in all sports.
Is it politics or they just don't have the resources anymore?
Definitey but I didn't see a Cuban girl, are you watching on computer?
Why do you think they don't have the resources?
Cause they don't have a great economy yet and no longer a communist government that will spend vast resources on sports while people are starving.Why do you think its politics--I wasn't listening to the commentary; what did they say?
They weren't addressing the issue. Skippy mentioned it.
Brazil tied 0-0 with Iraq in soccer. Now that would be quite an upset.
Did you see the little exchange that just took place? soccer players take too many dives
There's bound to be a fight in this match.
None of the other girls talk to the Russian girl who was cleared to compete 48 hours ago and has been busted twice for doping.
