Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

Re: Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

I'm hoping the French dickbag wins the 3000m steeplechase here. I want to see him attack another mascot.

Is anyone having frequent lock-up / buffering of the main track & field feed?

Silver.

Kenya gets yet another gold. And bronze. One fell, and still finished 5th. Not a fast race at all, but the acceleration at 300 m left- just strung the field out.

Yes, I am.

Try the "Track" feed rather than the "Main" feed. That's working a little better. You won't get the Hammer Throw and you won't get the British commentators, but I just switched to this and I'm not getting nearly as many pauses for buffering (I am getting a few, but less often).

If you have an iPad or other tablet, try downloading the NBC Olympics Extra App and try using that. I had nothing but trouble last week trying to watch the online feed. I started watching on my iPad and it has been way better. I have had problems maybe three times in the last week. As opposed to having problems every 15 minutes with the online feed.

Exact results I thought they would be. Jamaica will once again crush in the 4x100 Relay.

All depends on the passes-something we have more trouble with than any other of the men's teams.
 
Re: Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

Looking forward to the track day that we have comnig.

We met New Zealander Nick Willis at the pre-dinner for the Dexter-Ann Arbor half marathon- he went to UM, and continues to train in Ann Arbor when not on tour. Great guy- he told us what it was like to earn a Bronze, but later be given a Silver from the 2008 Olympics. very much rooting for him.

And for my In-Laws- Puerto Rican Javiar Coulson goes for the Island's first Olympic Gold Medal, ever. He's one of the top seeds for the 400m hurdles.

I'll be wasting some time at work watching these.
 
Re: Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

Ok, got some timing wrong- the 1500m final is NOT today.

But here are the medal finals today, plus times (EST)-
Womens Pole Vault- 2 pm
Womens Shot Put- 2:15 pm
Mens 400m Hurdle- 3:45 pm
Womens Steeplechase- 4:05pm
Mens 400m- 4:30pm.

IIRC, the best viewing was with the main track feed, when there's not interruptions- the commentary is pretty good- not the NBC guys who do the prime time stuff.

The US has decent chances at medals in the Pole vault. Even though the US women has one of the fastest steeplechases for 2012, I don't put much into that- it's interesting how much strategy goes into all of the distance races. I do hope she does well- getting some good distance finishes will be a good kick for US T&F.

And it looks like a lot of finals for Greco Roman wrestling today, too.

Hungary beats USA 11-6 in men's water polo. The US will make the medal round, but will probably have to play undefeated Croatia in the quarterfinal unless the UK saves us by beating Montenegro, in which case we'd play Spain.
 
Re: Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

France miss a PK that would've tied it at 2
:confused: Not watching live, but according to the PBP I'm watching Japan made it 3 - 0 before France scored. How could it have been tied at 2?

France score to make it 2-1 first.

EDIT: the refs call handball on France late? Shocking.
