Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Let's start a thread for this

I am a huge amateur sports fan.   Not a fan of pros in the Olympics.    Especially since our candain star tennis king pulled out

Russia is in a lot of trouble for there over the top dopping


Personal story.   
At a time I could run.  I could jump.  I could throw.   I could do 10 events very good when I was young.    I was fed every horse pill and milkshake possible once I was noticed as being good.   Then in my last year of big school my knee desires it does not want to be in my body any more

Fact is though.  I garantee most everyone is on some sorta crap  Every nation

And Carol Lewis was the worst

Edit
Thanks beautiful princess

Meant 2016!   Haha

Looking forward to Rugby 7. They are the newbies and I'm a Rugby fan  ;D


In other (literally colorful) news...

Gotta love the guy saying that athletes are focused on producing the best performance of their lives. No shit!!!!

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The Russia stuff is interesting, I think the olympics will be a mess but hopefully not

Yes there a couple new events this year I am excited for as well

Sill though 109 m

Decathlon

400m relay 

Are my biggest

I do not care at all abou swimming     You can swim.  Cool.  No big deal

Yeah I'm sure you're a great swimmer in your bathtub  :rofl:

You don't care about swimming. No big deal, uh? When I was in school I participated in a swim competition. I got silver medal doing free style. I didn't expect it but I got it.  I know how it feels to be in the podium.  ;D

I'm a big fun of swiming. I still do it today. Can you swim back and forth in a olympic size pool for near an hour?

I can't speak for bacon, but I can categorically say "no".

But then, I'm quite sure I can find other things, that will make me sweaty, that I'd rather do for an hour.  But..admittedly...I probably won't win medals for them, nor do I particularly want people watching me do them. :P

 :beer:

Well I what I did was just a school competition. I went with no expections. I wasn't freaking out or anything. I didn't know how good or bad the other girls were.

I begun learning how to swim when I was like 4 or 5 years old. I always liked to be in the water. When I was younger during summer vacation I could spend the whole day at the beach. I'm a summer person  ;D  I've always been. And in my appartment building we have a big swiming pool. I don't go to swim everyday. But If I have a really nice swiming pool it would be silly not to enjoy it.

I used to do some running as well. But a few years ago I hurt myself, sprain anckles (yeah both of them) while traning with some friends for one of those marathons that are very popular these days. So I very much give up running  :(

I am a great swimmer.   Still am

Let's see Bolt in the 100 m

Let's see Canada in the relay!

Let's see Canada in the decathlon

Let's see Canada in the 200 m run. 

Let's watch some golf and tennis

Martial Arts rock!!!  :beer:

Couple more days, getting really excitted

I hope I can catch the opening ceremony as it happens. I have no idea about the time zone with Brazil. Otherwise I record it

Canada has this great thing set up this year on TV>  There are around 8 dedicated channels to all the different events.   It will be great.

When I grew up all that was available was the American prime time show.  Ugh.   That is still on and just the most homerish one sided crap I have ever seen.

I want to watch events from the best people in the world, not just because they are from my country.  And a whole event, not just highlights

And no gymnastics!!!!!!!!!   haha

Except in the Winter when Curling is on, then we have no real horse in that race.

Here is Europe we also have  at least 8 channels dedicated to sports only. It's not something we just set up this year. It has been going on for a while. For the olympics the most important channels to watch are Eurosport 1 and 2. So we are all going to watch all that takes place and not just highlights nor just my fellow country athtles, with gymnastics included.  :smoking:

I actually really enjoy curling. I watch all the USA matches during the Olympics even though i know our teams aren't that good.

Curling is fun

And if actually makes for good tv

But that has nothing to do with these Olympics. 

I have a Canadian as a fav in the 200 m possible.   Candian woman in the decathlon.   My old event.   And pole vault.      Let's go Canada

The greatest country in the world!

Yeah it is. I didn't understand it when i started watching it but i figured it out lol.

I'm most interested to see if Phelps can add to his already record total of medals.

Opening day!!

Canada still hasn't called me to participate    I still think I could run a 9.81 100M.   Probably good for a bronze. 


Good read below.   Usain Bolt, hope to sweep his 3 events!  Well duh!   I would say these races will be closer than any other year.....   The americans have a great 100m guy (who is on the juice), Canadians have a great 200M clean athlete and a very good relay team.   Cant wait

http://olympics.cbc.ca/news/article/usain-bolt-injury-hot-topic-rio-olympics.html

Some football (soccer) games have been going on. But the usual suspects haven't showed all their cards yet. Brazil fans booed they big star Neymar  :rofl:

Other sport I'll follow is volleyball. I still play this one from time to time.

I like the volleyball as well both men and women's as well as the beach volleyball.

Opening ceremonies over and watched

Skipped most of the couriers entrances.  Watched lots

Watched everything once all countries got in the building

Brazil can put on a party

I reaLly loved the singing and dancing

I really like the new Olympic flame and all the lighting it took to do it

I overly loved the light show.  All the fireworks.   On the big screen in suround sound.  It was epic.   Some of the best fireworks ever

Best thing of all though was watching it with the two young kids and them asking to stay up and watch more.    Two future Olympians here!

Guys I strongly recomend you to watch women Beach Volleyball. Forget scores and nationality. It will be a pleasure for eyes.  ;)
Besides they built a really nice court in Copacabana Beach. Nice view of everything.

I've been enjoying men Water Polo and I don't mean the competition. Really well built bodies, those guys are really hot  ;D

I will be watching the woman for sure

Today I watched rowing cycling and woman's rugby

Such beautiful country down there!

I've already watched the first men's us beach volleyball as well as the women's indoor game. Watching the basketball game now.

Canada wins its first medal!

Bronze in 4 *100 swimming relay

Two 16 year old girls on the team

That's so cool!!!

Woman's beach volleyball is about to start live

Damn I really love these late night games

It's almost midnight in Brazil and these games are live and the crowds are packed

It is nice a lot of this is live since the time difference is only a few hours. I hated when they were in Sochi and i had to be careful about looking on espn or on my phone to not find out the results.

Ugh the US men's gymnastics aren't off to a good start.

Here in Spain we got our first medal, a bronze. Women Swimming 400m Medley. But the gold winner the Hungarian girl broke all the records. She was absolutely fantastic

 :beer:

I saw that one live. She didn't just beat the WR she destroyed it.

Well Russia got banned for the Paralympics. I don't know all the details about this dopping scandal but it sounds like bullshit. The Paralympics? Really? How about banning Maria Sharapova for life for future Olympics and all the Tennis tournaments? And that would be just a start.

They should've been banned from Rio.

Every country Exocet for Canada and England are on something. Haha

Got a helluva volleyball match going on right now between our countries.  :beer:

I watched just the highlights of it.   Was a great opening match for Canada.  Unexpected with

Canada wins silver medal in 100m woman's swimming

Just great!

Canadian gymnastics woman team failed to advance to the finals.  Big disappointment.  I actually watched the opening road of it.  First time I have actually watched. 

Damn some of these 18-19 year old girls are very bendy!   With great legs.

I may continue watching this

It was a good match. All sets were very close and could've gone either way.

Katie Ladecky, wow! She didn't just beat the competition or the world record she obliterated it. The record by over a second and the race by 5 seconds faster then everyone else.

Wow the US women's gymnastics team looks poised to clean up in the individual all around.

 What a pleasure it is to watch the U.S. gymnastic team  :beer:  They put an amazing performance. Simone Biles, Wow!! She is from another planet.

Somebody please ban those Russians and Chinese  ::)

I'm sorry to see Djokovic out so early  :'( Men Tennis is not the same without him


Now if you excuse me... I need to get this out of my system...
 

 My dear Baconman...


 THERE IS NO ENGLAND IN THE OLYMPICS!!!!  THEY ARE TEAM GREAT BRITAIN, MEANING ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES AND NORTHEN IRELAND ATHLETES TOGETHER!!!!  SINCE YOU CLAIM TO BE SUCH BIG FAN YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!!! STOP CALLING THEM ENGLAND!!!  :rant:

Simone Biles may be the closest to unbeatable i've ever seen. She is that good.

Hahaha. I know that

But Scotland and Ireland are all on the dope.  England isn't

So I couldn't really say all of Great Britain haha

Stupid work is getting in the way of these events!!!

Lots of rowing going on this morning

Ever heard of recording?  If you do that you can always watch later. Use the old bathroom break excuse and check scores in your phone  :smoking:

It seems they are saving lots of medal events for prime time, so I will be able to catch lots of them

Some of the real long events like cycling and rowing are great to have on in the back ground, but not worth recording.   I am trying to find a radio station right now that covers this

Rugby 7 Women, the final will be New Zealand playing against Australia. I was expecting something a bit different in the Olympics. That's pretty much the final in the traditional Rugby World Cup (men) or the Southern Hemisfere Rugby Union anual Tournament. So 7 or 15 players nothing change

 :-\

Canada won the bronze in woman's 7s today.  I actually got to catch it

I liked it.  It was very fast.   Seemed the whole match was over in just mins

And of coarse the good girls won!

I very much enjoy men diving. I give them all the gold medal and an standing ovation.  :smoking:

YUMMY!!!  :love:

 Huge upset!!! Japan beat The All Black!!! It was a preliminary game in Rugby 7 Men. I'm sure New Zealan will recover. But it feels so good. I will enjoy it while it last  :beer:

womans 200M Butterfly swimming is on now, on my device hahaha.

I watched some of Men weightlifting  :smoking:

Been watching a tone of swimming

There are so many styles of swimming    Geeze.    Its like a knot tieing contest

What up with Micheal Phelps and all those bruzes on his body.

Looks like Tom Hanks in the movie Philidlphia  hahaha

I guess its from a treatment called 'Cupping"      I don't know about that.  Sounds like the juice!!!!

And the nightmare continues for the All Blacks in Rugby 7, this time they lost against Team GB. At least this loss makes more sense.

Well NZ is running out of chances. Still something tells me that somehow they are gonna pull it off

Japan wins again. They are on a Rolling, they beat France in Rugby 7. Team GB also wins against Argentina

Cupping is a real thing. It's kinda funny the're using it cause it is something used frequently in the S&M lifestyle.

YES!!!! IT'S GOLD!!!!  :beer:

Spain wins gold in 200m Buttefly women swimming

 Here it is a really nice picture of her  ;D

http://masdeporte.as.com/masdeporte/2016/08/11/juegosolimpicos/1470880929_766224.html

Last night for swimming

IT'S GOLD AGAIN!!!   :o

This time Spain wins in Canoe Slalom Kayak Women  :beer:

Ah! It feels so good to beat Canada in Men Doubles Tennis semifinal.  :smoking:

It was actually a nail bitter game. Spain wins in 2 set but with tie break in both of them.

What a win! We are on a rolling today  ;D

Truck and Field is underway. I won't be able to follow a whole lot of this. On Sunday I'll be on my way to L.A. I have a show to catch  ;)

Anyway the best of luck to all the athlets out there   8)

And.......   Read baseball post first


On this other tv right there.  Olympics.  And what is on

Canadian woman soccer!!!!!

Canada is up 1-0

Against France


Umm. How did the us girls do so far??  Hahahahaha. No braw shots this year I think.  Ha!   Go Jays!

Wow Katie Ledecky destroys the WR and competition again. She's only 19 too. She's going to be doing this for several more olympic games. She might be the female Michael Phelps.

We got a bronze in women weightlifting. Our girl lifted 257 kilos. That's kinda like lifting Axl and Slash together  :o

Sprinting heats have started!

Unreal 100m tonight

Way to go Canada!   The world has officially seen the future of sprinting!

Our kid is 21. Weights 160. Looks like a child compared to the 30 year old bolt or the juice head American Gatlin. 

Just great!

Even with those horrible teeth. Murray still got gold in tennis today.   My second fav. Good fr hom!

Ah! It was one of those days  ;D

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/aug/16/chinese-swimmer-fu-yuanhui-praised-for-breaking-periods-taboo

Great opening heat for Canada in the 200m. Like I said mark my words. De grase has a great shot at gold!

Decathlon starts tomorrow.   Canada also has a great shot at gold. Will be very toughening has the only clean American athlete is the best decathlon man in the world.  Very impressive

Gold for Canada in men's high jump!

Woohoo!

Gold for Canada in woman's wrestling!  That woman was a beast.  I really liked her

Decathlon wrapping up tonight. Canada still has a great shot at silver.  Gold seems to be wrapped up

Men's 200 m as well. Can't wait!

Was that mud wrestling? I'm sure I can beat the Canadian bitch  :smoking:

De grase second in the 200m.  Zero way he could beat bolt. But sure looked good. And showed the world the future of sprint on is on Canada.

Bronze for Canada in decathlon.  I am a little disappointed.  The pole vault killed us.   That's the make it or break it event out of the 10

Tonight men's 4-100 relay.  Canada has a great shot at a medal.   Silver will be very impressive.  I would be happy with bronze

These Olympics have just flown by

Can somebody please explain me this whole "Lochtegate"? I'm confused. What was it that really took place?

 ???

Lochte and some teammates went out partying.  The got drunk and had the taxi driver stop at a gas station so they could go pee.  The restroom door must have been locked but instead of asking for the key, they broke the door in and peed all over the floor.  The gas station attendants confronted them and asked they pay for the damage.  They tried to leave without paying by getting back into their taxi.  The gas station attendant pulled a gun on them and again demanded they pay for the damage.  Once they paid, they were allowed to leave without any more (rightful) hassle by the attendants.  Lochte made up the story about being robbed by people dressed like the police.  Lochte did tv interviews telling the false story and left Rio (the other 3 swimmers were arrested/detained for a while but eventually released).   Video tapes of the incident and after proved the lies.

Lochte is a moron and should be ashamed of himself.

Oh I thought there were two sepate incidents. The robbery one thing and the gas station another. I couldn't keep up with all the olympic stuff.

Was it so hard for the guy to find tree or a wall to take a leak?  ::)

Where is he from again?? Hahahaha

Watch the closing ceremonies right now.   Damn did these games fly by.    Great games.   Some great new athletes I got to see.  Loved it

U.S. pole vaulter stops mid-stride to stand at attention for national anthem

When 'The Star-Spangled Banner' started playing during his competition in Rio, U.S. pole vaulter Sam Kendricks literally dropped what he was doing to pay respect to the national anthem.

Kendricks, 23, a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve, was flying down the runway on his way to a vault when he abruptly stopped, dropped his pole and stood at attention when he heard the anthem playing.

The patriotic act by Kendricks came during a qualifying jump last week and drew praise from many.

One of 18 U.S. athletes in Rio who also serve in the military, he ended up finishing with a bronze medal thanks to a vault of 19 feet, 2 1/4 inches.

The Mississippi native became the first American to take home a medal in that event since Timothy Mack won gold in Athens in 2004. A two-time NCAA champion, he also is the first athlete from the University of Mississippi to win an Olympic medal.

Kendricks comes from a military family, as his father, Scott, served 10 years in the U.S. marines and is now his son's coach in the pole vault.

"Those guys are really proud of me and have given me every chance to continue as a civilian," Kendricks told the official Team USA website. "(I'm proud) to represent the Americans on two fronts, as a military man and as a U.S. athlete."

Who cares about that stupid Americans lies.   That's not the story of the games

Great great great tv today with all Canada's athletes coming back   

Such a great time
