Whoever coined the phrase "the big fundamental" is a genius in my mind.
Never fails to make me laugh.

What about The big dumbdamental then? 🙂

Don't know about that one just as i'm not sure about this episode.

Ray Allen has joined the coaching staff too?

How Fast Would Usain Bolt Run The Mile?

Great feature article, in significant part because of how revealing it is about our ignorance of the human body and its limits.

I'm not sure how Lizzie Armitstead got away with not showing up for 3 drugs tests but can now go to Rioe=. Christine Ohuruogu was banned for a year for doing the same thing. The Russians are rightly being castigated for doping and yet Amristaad can now compete.Doesn't make sense to me.

damn so usain bolt hearing gun shots near jamaica's hotel and USA basketball are floating around rio like kings.

god damn, a luxury cruise liner with round the clock protection by land and sea (maybe air too), bullet proof fencing and brazilian women everywhere. these nba dudes are going to be flexing out there, thinking there in heaven.

Because whoever was supposed to perform the second test didn't follow the procedure correctly. Simples, innit.

Very much look forward to what will no doubt be a highly competitive game of basketball between USA and China in about an hour. 🙂

Rex

...only to realize Swedish tv doesn't show the game. Instead, they have a two hour studio session waiting for the opening ceremony. Fucking idiots. :angry:

The game is tomorrow Rex

😆 Now, now Rex. That wasn't enough of a clue mate?

Rex

Oh, it's tonight?! Alright then!
Actually, the opening ceremony evidently doesn't signal the start of the games, since the football tournament started two days ago. Figured it was the same with the basketball tournament.

Apparently the football was a special case as the number of teams involved and games to be played meant that there wasn't enough time in the schedule. But yeah, completely forgot that the football had already started when I posted that.

Just looking at the sports at the Olympics has me realize I mostly think this is a shit sporting event. Haven't really immersed myself in the Olympics for the last 12 years or so. Bits and pieces is enough for me, and I follow a few events. I just don't have any will to watch things like judo, cycling, sailing and fencing. Actually don't want to watch more than a tiny fraction of what's on.

Big Willie Champ

Well to be fair it is. If we thought regular international football was boring these days, regular international random other sports are even worse. Think I got sucked into the 96 Olympics hype when I was younger but haven't really watched any since then, other than a few events at the 2012 London games. If it wasn't for Usain and co I probably would have skipped that completely as well.

I love the boxing, the sprints and I like to keep an eye out for fresh talented footballers so I can heap abuse on Wenger when he claims there is no quality out there so we have to wait for sanogo to surprise us

Re basketball. I've lost all respect for Kevin Durant by the way. Apparently he communicated his decision to leave OKC to Westbrook by text.

Bitch ass negro.
