OT - 2016 Brazil Olympic thread

[BGDave]

Oh and Brooke has the yips early. Missed a one-footer for par on the first hole. She realistically could only hope for BRONZE, but looks like its not her day. But that's OK, still think a lot of her

 

[tducey]

She just finished her round with 67 to finish -8, don't think she'll medal but still she has a great future ahead of her.

The mountain bike course is quite something. So much of the grass was blackened/burned by the fire last week

The russian-italian zaytzev is sumkinda impressive

Italy pulls off miraculous comeback over U.S., headed to volleyball gold medal match

Beautiful scenery though (and quite the course to try to navigate).

forget the elbow, this is what threw him off of his game

Is that Evita?

If there is a better English name at these Games than U.S. diver Steele Johnson, I don't know what it is.

DONG DONG

/I know. But in English it's funny.

Watching the ladies golf final round this morning, just not getting what @elocomotive sees in Inbee Park But its all good, there is someone for everyone

Seriously, I am cheering for any and all golfers who are wearing parkas up top but still rock the shorts !


And why does the Golf Channel go to the time and expense of using Annika Sorenstam for commentary BUT NOT SHOW HER. ONCE.

/hey @elocomotive , if I get us a double date, you have Inbee and me with Annika, you up for it?

I met her at a tourney once. TV does not do her justice. She's gorgeous.

Also met Suzanne Pettersen. It actually hurts to look at her up close. And Paula Creamer? Gaaaawd...

I have a hat with those three autographs on it. Best tourney ever.

Pendrel is an amazing rider. She has more talent in her little finger than most people have in their whole body. I've been watching the UCI Mountain biking on the Red Bull app and she is soooo smooth. I was hoping for Gold, but I guess she really is Canadian.

France will be disappointed with their women's handball finals performance, I suspect. Defended well and held Russia in check, but they just kept making mistakes offensively.

Germany and Brazil tied 1-1 in the 2nd half of the gold medal game. Come on Germany, we want six more goals.

Croatia vs. Serbia in the gold medal water polo match - Is this where the phrase "blood in the water" is applicable?

 

[dash]

Extra time and the prospect of penalties looming for the gold medal between Brazil and Germany.

 

[dash]

Penalty kicks to decide the gold medal in men's soccer between Brazil and Germany.

Well, jstew will be happy as German tears are flowing.
