OT: 2016 Rio Olympics

[Gronk]

This is the kid from Singapore who beat Phelps. 1st olympics medal ever for Singapore too.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol @ that Aussie 100m runner, got beat out of sight but was still proud of her effort and was hoping to help the younger team members of the squad. The younger team members should look at her do the opposite.

More loser happy to be here mentality.

the womens soccer team got ripped off

No doubt the refs didnt want to ask/tell the brazillian keeper to stand still prior to the penalty kicks due the massive home crowd, disgrace full. Commentators were pointing it out all through the 7-6 penalty shoot out loss

Not if he false starts and DQ's. Then there is only one winner

Well if he does that in the heat, yes - Bolt will only have one time this Olympics, and you will be the winner!

I'm thinking more if he runs say 9.68s in the heat, 9.72s in the semi, and then 9.71s in the final... how does Gary split the winner(s)?

In a cage match in a fight to the death of a venue of Gary's choosing, knowing Gary it would be at a pub with some decent craft beers.

 

[Gary Gutful]

What if - like the aussie swimmers - Bolt does a faster time in the heats and goes slower in the final? You could end up with two winners...

I'm just taking about his time in the final. He normally moon walks until at least the semis.

not only was she moving, which is not allowed, she was well in front of the goal line, there was an image of FB showing her a metre in front of the line and the touchie was right beside the goal post and did nothing

fairly blatant

You can add Frabrice Merkin to the fail list. He jumped 8:27m to win the 2016 champs. They are jumping that now for medals and he could not get a clean jump. DQ'd

The Choke sisters finish off a piss poor swimming campaign.\

It's up to Mack to get us another medal.

If I was running Swimming Australia, I would be funding our top swimmers, maybe top 20, by giving them a scholarship to go and do university/college in the USA. Even if it was just for 1 term a year (the sports in the USA are always seasonal). The reason we're perennial under achievers against the USA is due to their High School and College sporting systems that they have in place. If they got to compete on a regular basis against decent opposition they would become alot more competitive.

I'd also be considering moving the Australian Championships to always being at least 5 months before the Olympics. Who ever thinks that's a good idea has rocks in their heads.

That brunette Polish beach volleyball girl is a hottie

Why? You've just increased the Gold medal haul by 300% since the last Olympics. I'd imagine he would have achieved his KPI's and get a nice pay rise.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Why?

Because I would have achieved all of my KPIs and would be looking for a new challenge.

Our athletics program needs work. Your first order of business would be to fly to Jamaica and offer every kid an Australian citzenship
