Rio Olympics Megathread

Do you know what pyrite is?

Yes, I understood your joke, but I was being serious.

Oh. Ok. Carry on then.

Last place gets pumice, then?

Something needs to be done about the refereeing in the rugby. They awarded Australia a try that wasn't even over the fucking line which meant we took home silver in the women's sevens and apparently dodgy refereeing was to blame for our men's sevens loss to Fiji.

On the plus side, at least we gave the hosts a run for their money in the men's hockey. 9-0.

Fiji got their share by losing 8-0 to Korea and 10-0 to Germany.

That'd be a cool looking medal. Wait, I think I'm thinking of obsidian.

Bite it, and it crumbles into pieces.

I blame Joubert for everything. I think more to blame was Fiji being a better team than NZ.

I'm pretty sure NZ is a better football team than Fiji. Fiji lost 10-0 to Germany. Ugh.

[Gurori]

Hopefully nobody will swear as much as Shadow the Hedgehog did in the Olympic Football/Soccer.

Jang Hye Jin moves into the Round of 16 in Women's Single Archery.

Football? Thought we were talking about lacrosse.

Yeah, the Fiji sevens team excels where their union team fails. We went into this having been booted out of the semis in all of the previous seven's matches.

Although once again, Sonny-Bill Williams has demonstrated why he's more fragile than a sheet of rice paper. Apparently his ambulance got lost on the way to hospital.

Really? I wasn't even watching.

They'll always have 2007 to look back on. Well ye gave it a good punt, never could've prepared for Japan's 2nd upset of the year.

Awful luck for him, 9 months out of action means he's going to miss so many games, including the Ireland tests(woohoo!).

[Zeinbrad]

So apparently Phelps murdered that le clos guy.

It won't matter. The AB's will basically steamroll the Irish into submission.

Hopefully, however, the rowing can get started again so we can win our first gold medals.

[The first Galactic Republic]

On NBC when US players are doing things they play music based on what they're doing. Is that actually playing in the stadiums?

New Zealand lost to Japan!

Japan works on football/soccer since the first decade of the 21st century. 2003 maybe. It's comprehensible.

Alas, poor Le Clos. I knew him well.

(Not really, but RIP, bruh.)

[Britonisea]

That's really sad. They shouldn't treat him like that (fans). Chad is a great swimmer and he deserves it more than Phelps - he "retired" four years ago after his butthurt self lost the race against Chad. Admittedly, it was revenge according to Phelps. He has won so many gold medals, I don't understand why he would get angry when someone else wins a gold medal for instead of him.

Anyway, congrats to the USA.

Saw that Armenian guy who broke his arm weight lifting, holy fuck that was painful to watch.

Le Clois had been intimidating and taunting Phelps before the race. He was acting cocky.

Dude was being a textbook douche. Like it looked like two bucks harassing each other before they do their antler ramming.
