    So annoying, YouTube direct you can't access a link.

    Go through an official broadcasters site, a link to YouTube, and it works

    ???

    Even though its free anyway

    ???

    And my dumb Samsung Wil change every word into the one I don't want, but it will capitalise the Y and T in YouTube for me, becuase you know God forbid I get that wrong

    I haven't been following much (except for basketball, because the players are tall and hot).
    I googled today to see how's my country holding up xD

    i have a formula as to figure out how many medals each country should get. its the amount of diversity times the population. i havnt gotten it down to a science yet but i know i got the basics all set.

    "Diversity" huh

    You mean black guys for running and jumping, Asians for ping pong and tae kwon do


    Is that racist, is that going too far

    (I won't be surprised if this post evaporates)

    I had an argument with someone on why blacks are bad at hockey.
    After much arguing we all agreed it was lack of interest. If asians are interested in ping pong then they are interested in ping pong. Luckily Asian isn't a race. So no its not racist.

    That's all I could find on YT too. You can watch on CBC's website. They're airing it live online. They also have an app, not their normal app, but a CBC Olympics app where they're airing it live and you can watch recorded videos of the events from that day. It works really well. I'm not sure if they have the recorded videos online as well.

    I can't understand why we are almost if not the same time zone and NBC delays shit so much.

    Ahhh, I totally gave up the last three days or so, watching it that is.

    Couldn't hold my attention for more than 12 days. Over it.


    Plus the schedule last couple days is really boring.

    Watching walking/ marathon / triathlon is like watching paint dry

    Still looking forward to watching Men’s Basketball USA vs Serbia on Sunday for the Gold Medal

    It's going to be tough for anyone to beat us," said Kevin Durant "We like our chances”

    Serbia, that's kind of pathetic though. Really the best team in the world to go up against the US in the basketball is Serbia? Serbia, really?

    I'll say Serbia once more.

    Maybe the US should be allowed 2 teams in the basketball next Olympics, so you know the final isn't sad.

    Countries can have more than one team in the beach volleyball.
