Best part of the Olympics this year:

Trampoline!

 

[PatrThom]

Yay swimming!

Ehhhhhh....no.

[Celt Z]

"Smells like farts".... that is some ace reporting right there.


Sadly, probably accurate.

 

[sixpackshaker]

High sulfur content... stay classy Beth.

 

[Dei]

Yay swimming!

Katie Ledecky wins 800m freestyle by nearly 12 seconds

 

[jwhouk]

Ledecky could have been out of the pool, showered, and on the podium before the last swimmer had touched.

Okay, I don't think that's "cowardly" as much as it is "not paying attention."

I think you're thinking of the wrong team. That was Sweden. The GIF is Australia.

 

[jwhouk]

Gotcha. Still funny.

History made by American Kim Rhode, who became the first person to medal in six consecutive Olympics and on five separate continents.

Stay classy USA, shitting on one of your guys because he wore a Canada hat while cheering on his Canadian wife.

A few fucking idiots on Twitter doesn't represent the US. Why do stories like this keep getting picked up? Why does anyone care what morons on Twitter think?

 

[blotsfan]

If not for Frank posting, I probably would've never known that this happened.

 

[Dave]

Ryan Lochte and three other swimmers were robbed at gunpoint by people pretending to be Brazilian cops.

Welcome to Rio, bitches.

 

[Dei]

Watching a 41 year old woman competing in vault makes me feel bad about myself lol.

 

[blotsfan]

So apparently a high school classmate's sister won a gold medal yesterday. Thats pretty cool.

 

[Gruebeard]

My bartender played volleyball with the really tall Canadian beach volleyball player who is, currently, down one set and in danger of being eliminated . . . this, a day after knocking out her comrades on Canada's other beach volleyball team.

 

[HCGLNS]

Three-pete for Bolt! And Bronze for Canada! YAY!

 

[Frank]

Bolt, like Phelps, is some kind of super mutant. No one that lanky should be that quick.

Oh is that the "This content is no longer available" thing? I never got to see what that was, originally. It was gone before I saw it.

 

[HCGLNS]

OMG women's hammer throw is scary!

Yeah. It was the Australian soccer GIF.

The women's hammer pants throw is even worse.

 

[Cheesy1]

North Korea got gold in men's vault. I snicker when they say Democratic People's Republic of Korea. :/ I wonder if he actually lives in NK.

If he's so good at vaulting, how is he still in NK?

 

[Dei]

If he's so good at vaulting, how is he still in NK?

Because he's not doing it with a pole?

 

[GasBandit]

Oh, the gymnastics vault thing. Well never mind.

 

[Dei]

Simone Biles fell on beam and still got bronze.

I don't know, it looks like you have your hands full.
