Kahran Ramsus Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 I'm up for the second round starting at 7:00. Men's Road Race is going on now.
Vanhalen Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 By the way, if you go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/default.stm The BBC are streaming 24 hour coverage of the Olympics on their website completly free, plus highlights of the day and interviews and all sorts, best of all, because its the BBC, you dont even have to register.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Dumont & Martin just won their first set against the Swiss in Women's Beach Volleyball. The Swiss team kept botching their serves and sending them out. Set 2 coming up. EDIT: We win in two straight sets. 21-13 in Set 2.
DMann2003 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 They have synchronized diving? That's interesting. Anyone remmember the Olympic Triple Cast on PPV from Barcelona. I actually got that for my Birthday when I was 13. In hindsight it was a stupid idea because a) I never really watched the Olympics before then and b) it was difficult to keep track of everything.
razazteca Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Right now its a tough choice......watch womens team volleyball USA vs China or mens soccer Mexico vs Korea. Korea 1 Mex 0 WTF!
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 China spanked the United States in volleyball. Absolutely pathetic. And Cuba also got upset by Germany. I no longer have any reason to continue watching the indoor tournament.
razazteca Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Boxing on MSNBC is what I am watching at the moment. Cuba beat Canada, not sure what weightclass. Anybody know if Ju-Jitsu made it to the Olympics or not. Also will there be any exbition sports during this olympics?
razazteca Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Interesting sport on Bravo........Women's Field Hockey! Aussie vs Germany.
Guest Evolution Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Cuba beat up on the black Canadian in the Middleweight prelims, I think. Germany is supposedly surprising the Aussies in this field hockey, based on the announcers' reactions.
razazteca Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Russian middleweight destroyed the Philippines in boxing.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 I would LOVE to see the Cuban beat the shit out of the Russian. That would be great in a US-Russia Olympic hockey way. Except that well, the Cuban is probably favored here. But still politically speaking, it would be great seeing as how Russia abandoned Cuba after the Cold War in order to suck up to NATO.
Guest Evolution Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 American defeats Chinese man in boxing in a fairly close match.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Paulo Bettini won the men's cycling road race, one second ahead of Sergio Paulinho. Alex Merckx finished seven seconds back for the bronze.
Mole Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Table Tennis is on Bravo right now and I always love watching it. The way they have the camera set up makes the table look smaller.
CanadianChick Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Oh man, the China/USA volleyball match was fun to watch. There was one rally espeically in the second set that kicked all kinds of asses. I'm looking forward to the Mens 400 Freestyle finals. Should be fun to watch.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Phelps & Thorpe both won. I am so hyped for their H2H now. That's the event of the games right there.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Klochkova (Ukraine) won the Women's 400 IM. She had a bit of a scare, but managed to hang on to no surprise.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Australia won the 4 x100m Freestyle Woman's Relay over the Americans and set a new WR.
CanadianChick Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Phelps & Thorpe both won. I am so hyped for their H2H now. That's the event of the games right there. When is the H2H?
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Phelps & Thorpe both won. I am so hyped for their H2H now. That's the event of the games right there. When is the H2H? 200 Freestyle, Aug 16th. Thorpe is the WR holder.
CanadianChick Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Ah, I kinda got confused there. Nevermind.
spiny norman Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Right now its a tough choice......watch womens team volleyball USA vs China or mens soccer Mexico vs Korea. Korea 1 Mex 0 WTF! Yes, it's always a surprise when the team that came 4th in the World Cup beats a team that did so well I don't even remember their appearance in it. The 4x100m was a great race. That's the only WR broken at the moment?

EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Posted August 15, 2004 Watching rowing an hour ago, caught the name of the commentator. Randy Rosenbloom!
Guest Nanks Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Good on Thorpedo for that 400m win, there was a huge amount of controversy over him racing in that and it's great to see him come through with the win. Today he went on to qualify fastest for the semis of the 200m. I know there's been a lot of talk about the 200m being the Thorpe-Phelps H2H, but I'm afraid to say that Phelps will do well to podium. Thorpe & Van Den Hoogenband will be filling the Gold & Silver and Hackett is swimming fucking well so he'll be fighting it out with Phelps for Bronze. 7 golds indeed.... The Aussie chicks in the 4x100 free were incredible. Libby & Jodie are looking great for medals in the individual event and it was awesome to see Petria Thomas finally get gold, hopefully she can double that up tonight in the 100m fly.
spiny norman Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Who is currently leading/top fiving/top tenning the medal tally?

Insane Bump Machine Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 China is first right now with 4 gold.

I haven't seen Phelps yet, but if even half the hype is true he should be in for a show. But yeah, with the competition in that race it should be fantastic. also YAY for Australia being equal first.
