Just got off a flight and was looking at it and had to double take when I saw “live” in the corner

Could not be me

this is some real stereotypical azn parent stuff.

it can go two ways:
1. they ask you how sports is a viable future and why can't you be like cousin Jen who just finished her neurosurgery residency.
2. just a gold medal? why not three? why not platinum medal?

If dictionaries had images as definition, this would be aura:

I’m watching team pistol shooting right now - most of them look like that with a hat and special glasses and all that stuff - then there’s the guy from Turkey who looks like he’s standing there in jeans and a t-shirt. No accessories at all, just freeballing it.

They still won gold tho, if I'm not mistaken. Shootout

What a match between Zheng and Kerber.
What a battle.

judo thus far is the only sport in the Olympics that I have no clue how they score points. Sometimes it looks like one person is attacking the whole time and then the commentator will be like “they were never in control”

Lebron’s line of 21/7/9 is looking pretty good - but I doubt he will continue to play 27 minutes - I would expect more like 20.

USA vs Serbia women's volleyball in set 4 right now, USA up 2-1 but Boskovic coming alive for Serbia now

 

[Mister Meaner]

So long as he’s not risking injury, hoping LeCaptain DOES play those easy 28mpg.

The cameras and all that at the bottom of the pool isn’t being highlighted enough in the convo and glad he pointed that out

So you’re basically cutting a 1/3rd of the depth and not fully factoring in all the extra stuff that now also on the bottom of the pool when the rule may have originally been written

But you can really see it off starts and turns (but especially when they jump in for the start of backstroke and are jumping off the bottom after jumping in).. but you can look at specific swimmers who are known for their underwaters and see how it’s killing them

Hell I’d argue that’s what killed Murphy and regan smith from winning golds, since they don’t get their usual pop off of turns.. and killed Marchand from breaking the world record in the 4 IM and might hurt his chances in the 200 fly vs malik.. also going really hurt dressel

Boskovic really heating up and Serbia takes USA women to the 5th set

 

[Xennial]

USA women pull it out 17-15 in the 5th set
