Canada makes it to the knock out round in spite of having 6 points taken from them.

Dude's 51, not wearing any specialized eyewear or ear protection. Looks like he walked by and decided to check things out. And the mixed team he's on won a silver medal.

****ing match between FIFA and the IOC. FIFA didn't want the Olympics to outshine the World Cup.

Was there any overlap with these u23 now playing in both?

There’s at least two women divers in North Korea who won’t be killed when they get home.

I believe there is a limit to how many players you can have who have World Cup experience. And I even think at one time, you can have a limited number of players over 23. Very limited.

There's a woman table tennis player who's still in the tournament. Hope for her, too...

Ledecky is a tremendous machine.

Think it was 3 players over 23

Yup. 3 overage players per team.

Interesting to see people walk so much faster than I can run.

I would REALLY like to see golf adopt a team aspect to the competition. Really not feeling the PGA-Lite vibes that the tournament gives off. Like 60-ish players? Really?

I think the NCAA has a solid model to use for this form of competition. You can have both the team and individual competitions running concurrently with no effect on each other.

Execution might be mercy compared to the more likely punishment - several years in a North Korean gulag.

He had standard issue foam earplugs, but nothing else. That is how every competitor should have to shoot offhand.

While others are doing flips, the goat is doing flips with enough twists to make me dizzy

After being dominated by Eastern Europe for years, the US women have won 6 straight all-around golds much to Kepler's chagrin.

First team fencing gold for the USA- thanks to the women’s team. Beat top team Italy.

Women’s boxing holy fuck. People are going to get this Algerian woman killed. Absolutely disgusting

“I’ve never been hit this hard” whined the Italian woman.

for Christ sake you are at the Olympics

Yeah they are going to get her killed...and they'll be proud of it.
They don't understand anything they don't like and they don't want to.

That Algerian woman is like 9-5 for a career record so I'm guessing that Italian woman is just bad at boxing.
