I do, I'm surprised no one else is talking about them... especially since the USA women's gymnastics team won their first gold since the 1996 games. Nothing is ever going to match the legendary moment of Kerri Strug winning the gold with a vault on her bad ankle and needing to be carried off by her coach though.

I've actually been watching a lot of the handball, which I'm enjoying, even though I don't usually like real sports. I find myself rooting for France, because unlike Britain they don't completely suck.
I've also watched a bit of beach volleyball for... reasons.
I'm just a fat faker fuck who writes horrible vampire novels. Such is my life that I have to stoop to such a thing. Please don't be like me and actually do something productive with your life for once. Consider me a cautionary tale to that end.
Quite a lot of controversy going on at these Olympics. First of all, eight badminton players have been disqualified (teams from China, Indonesia, and South Korea) for intentionally losing matches in the preliminary rounds (mostly by just hitting the birdie right into the net) so that they'll have a more favorable place in the brackets.
And then there's this travesty in boxing where a referee saves an attempted fix in a match between Satoshi Shimizu (JAP, red corner) and Magomed Abdulhamidov (AZE, blue corner). Shimizu knocked Abdulhamidov down no less than SIX TIMES in the last two minutes of the match, and Abdulhamidov was clearly out of it, but the referee refused to even administer a single count, simply gesturing for Abdulhamidov to stand up and continue the fight. The American commentators, throughout the last minute of the match, are INCENSED and are calling the fix right out of the gate.
COMMENTATOR #1: I'm reading from the rules: If a boxer is down on the mat from a punch, is to give a ten-second count. If the boxer cannot continue, it is a knockout. COMMENTATOR #2: If this fight winds up going to the fighter from Azerbaijan, you really have to think about what the intentions of that referee were by not giving him eight-counts, by not stopping the fight, [and by] not even allowing the fighter to quit! The fighter from Azerbaijan might have wanted to quit. If it goes to him, you have to wonder what the intentions of this referee were. COMM. #1: He just told him to get up. Not ONE eight-count! We have seen fights...we saw the fight earlier today with Dominic Breazeale of the United States, he got hit with a combination, they gave him an eight-count. This referee never administered an eight-count for an injured boxer. He should be eliminated from the Olympics. COMM. #2: IMMEDIATELY! This is gonna be a joke if it winds up not going to the Japanese fighter.
RING ANNOUNCER: A score of 22 points to 17, in the BLUE corner...
COMM. #2: Unbelievable! THAT'S what the referee wanted to do! He wanted to save that fighter! COMM. #1: Everybody here... COMM. #2: INCREDIBLE! COMM. #1: ...should look at themselves and realize why this sport is considered a joke at this point.
The decision was eventually overruled and overturned.

If you can reply to this, you're smarter than me for still being here. Please don't be a halfwit like I was. It won't help my cause much because I won't know where to respond to. Thank you.

Gabby Douglass has now added the gold in the Women's All-Round. It is the first time ever that the USA has gotten gold in team and the all-around competition in the same olympics.

USa Men's Basketball put on a 3 point shooting exhibition in their 156-73 win over Nigeria. They hit 29 3 pointers breaking the old olympic mark of 13. Melo shattered the US record of points in a game with 37 including 10-12 from 3. The US set a olympic record for points in a game, most points in a half and most points in a quarter. They had 49 points in the first QUARTER.
They didn't simply take the dog behind the shed and shoot it. They shot it, kicked it, shot it again, and then burned it.

My God, the ass on one of these Spanish beach volleyball chicks...it's either Liliana or Baquerizo, and whichever one it is, I'm in love with them.
I like Anastasia Vasina and Evgeniya Ukolova, myself, but both the Spanish chicks in the game I saw were amazing.
Speaking of Spaniards, Carmen Martin and Elizabeth Pinedo of their handball team are gorgeous.

You know what's even more amazing? The whiney crap ESPN is spouting afterwards. Oh Team USA was running up the score*, oh this hurts Olympics basketball, they really trivalized a historic ass-kicking. But moving on, we'll either talk Red Sox/Yankees or Tim Tebow or Tiger Woods. What blowhards.
*=Even if they were, it wouldn't even be that lopsided.
Been watching a bunch of random events, mostly gymnastics and races.
Kirani James was awesome and it was great to see Grenada win their first medal, especially a gold. This is the type of stuff I love about the Olympics.
Raisman's floor performance was awesome.
The Netherlands dude in the men's high bar was unreal with his triple release.
Oh, and women's races and hurdles... those legs...
“pyoobez: @mslayel do you fancy spotted dick?” I actually love that with custard Yummy :/)

Taken from my facebook post:
Sure, Canada missed its goals. it finished out of the top 12. It finished with less than 20 medals but, you know what, I am proud of team Canada.
Alexandre Despatie came back from a concussion during an accident during practice, and stil l made it to the finals in the men's 3m diving. Pauline Findlay came back from a hip injury. She was not going to win it, not even close, and pushed herself despite that. Finishing dead last, she still finished. Simon Whitfield crashed. He hurt his leg, foot, and broke his collarbone. His first instinct despite that was attempting to finish the triathlon.
The Canada Soccer team was screwed over by a referee in the semi-final match against the US. They complained, but then went and obtained the bronze medal and, we even had a boxer screwed over by a decision which confounded most experts. 14-14, given the score tables, Canada should have won but confoundingly, they gave it to his opponent.
Hell, Canada would have ended with a 19th medal but for one runner stepping on the line during the relay. They may not have taken home the medal, but they showed that they were the third-best despite their disqualification.
Team Canada. They came, they conquered. They made no excuses and they did my country proud ^_^
They showed they can run faster, jump higher, dive gracefully with the best of them. We beat the world in Vancouver. We knew we would not repeat it in London, but we still held our own. The song still goes through my head.
