Games of the XXX Olympiad: London 2012

[SirFozzie]

USA waking up a bit, these 9's are so close to the 10-ring

[EagleFan]

What channel is archery on?

[SirFozzie]

Man, Italy look ON.. I don't know if this is going to happen..

[SirFozzie]

MSNBC and streaming

[kingfc22]

Italy is not giving the US any room to gain ground.

US needs to start landing some 10's

[SirFozzie]

Argh, they had a chance to put huge pressure on Italy with back to back 10's, and the final shooter puts on an 8

[spleen1015]

That 8 after 2 10s was painful.

[SirFozzie]

29 that round, at least cut into Italy's lead before the final end?

[kingfc22]

They gained 2 pts that last round. Need at least four 10's I'd imagine to tie or win.

[SirFozzie]

2 point lead for Italy entering the final six arrows..

USA need at least a 58+ to put the pressure on ITA

[kingfc22]

Need a 29 to close here and a big miss...

[spleen1015]

That's it.

[SirFozzie]

Oh my, 1 point contest entering final three arrows.

[kingfc22]

Ruh Roh

[spleen1015]

Big shot there.

[kingfc22]

Wow. Clutch

[EagleFan]

Wow, sooooo close.

[spleen1015]

Frangilli should be DQed for having a gross looking shot.

[SirFozzie]

Considering the USA squeaked by Japan in the QF by one point, I guess we can't complain too much. First medal by the USA, we're on the board.

[EagleFan]

Thought O'Reilly would be coming out soon. She looked completely exhausted and was misplaying some balls.

[EagleFan]

Nice goal by Wambach, good to see her score after she's been getting mugged all game.

[EagleFan]

Good lord she is good, just off the bar from a second goal that quickly, from about 25 yards out.

[EagleFan]

Goal!!!!

The flood gates have opened. They almost had two others since the Wambach goal.

[spleen1015]

Anybody have a channel for the 400 IM Final at 2:30?

[cschex]

It should be streaming live on NBColympics.com

[spleen1015]

Yeah I know, but the archery was kind of choppy for me online, so I'd rather watch it on tv.

The third goal was great. A bunch of passes strung together with each player only taking a touch or two before the shot.

Looks like NBC is saving it for prime time.

That's what I thought they would do.

[cschex]

Yeah, sorry I should have added it isn't on TV live that I know of

[kingfc22]

Are we spoiler tagging events that are only live online and not on TV until prime time?

[spleen1015]

I would stay out of the thread if you don't want spoilers.

[cschex]

Hell of a swim (I'm being deliberately non-specific)

[spleen1015]

I'm not having good luck with the online feed. It is choppy most of the time, then it ends up locking up my browser before too long.

[SirFozzie]

no four peat in the Olympic sabre finals, as Valentina barely wins the bronze medal match in OT.

I had this problem with Firefox, it seems to be more stable using Chrome.

Good call. I am having much better luck with Chrome.

Girl beat Beisel in the 400m Ind. Medley. Beisel had her beat going into the last 100m when it switched to freestyle and holy shit.

[SirFozzie]

An insane gold medal final. In fencing. You have to watch the final period.. on slight delay on msnbc

[mauchow]

Destiny Hooker is a beast.

[AlexB]

There's someone who's rebelling against her predetermined career path

[SirFozzie]

Agreed, with a name like that you'd expect her to play women's rugby..


(beat)

you know, the position in rugby?

[SirFozzie]

So, who had Hope Solo in the "first US controversy" poll? She's currently going off on Brandi Chastain's coverage of the USA-Colombia game, (Chastain had called out the USA defense for being sub-par, which was pretty much true, but apparently Solo's rising to the defense of her teammates). Wouldn't be surprised to see Solo out of of the third game now that the US has qualified for the quarter finals already.

[bhlloy]

Very disappointed with the iPad app... seems like pretty much every stream is so low quality it's completely unwatchable, like going back the dial-up days. Finally find a volleyball stream that is pretty good, it cuts away to the Citi commercial I've watched 15 times already, comes back and it's junk now. WTF... I see why the app has 2 stars now.

Also getting the same issue with Firefox hanging/choppy on the browser feed. Have to give Chrome a shot I guess

[kingfc22]

NBC is a fucking joke. They lead off the NBC Nightly News with the 400IM, yet they still haven't showed the race on tv yet!!! Just show the events live you hypocrites.

And yes, I already knew the results but this just goes to show NBC doesn't give a shit about its viewers.

Yeah, can we stick with the "until it's on tv, keep it in spoilers"?

That way those of us watching can use this as a live thread like we tend to?

SI

[sterlingice]

Dear lord- Ryan Seacrest? Really?

SI

[sterlingice]

Phelps looked like he was in molasses in the freestyle. Usually that's where he could make up time but he just didn't have it
