Your Rio 2016 Summer Olympics anticipation thread!

if they allowed more than two per country i bet the US woulda swept the podium w gabby

Well I never thought I'd see an Olympic medallist say "Tiocfaidh ar la"

Loved Andrade's Beyonce megamix floor routine.

Huge shocker in the women's 100 free! Great for Simone and Penny but I feel for poor old Cate Campbell (thought to be almost as much a nailed-on favourite as Ledecky, finished out of the medals). The pic of Sjostrom and Ottesen helping her out of the pool was heartbreaking. Unfortunately she has the opposite mentality of Biles.

What wait what?

O'Donovan brothers in the rowing.

Alma Ayana! and a bronze for Tirunesh <3

That women's 10 k was insane!! World record obliterated! Love when they go off super fast rather than loafing around until a sprint finish.

Four of the five fastest times ever run.

I think the top seven all beat the Olympic record.

Some accents those lads have got.

Ah man, I missed the 10K, somehow blanked and thought athletics/track and field started tomorrow. Well, I know what I'm watching for the next week...

oh shit, teddy riner in the judo. last bout was like watching a leopard take down a wildebeest

think that gold medal match is in an hour or so? gonna watch that/

women trampoline just started. such a bizarre olympic sport but also pretty fun to watch.

Mens indoor cycle one on one sprints start today. that is must watch tv

Sweden just scored against the US in women's soccer for a 1-0 lead, thirty minutes to go in a quarterfinal. Crunch time.

what a pass

so proud of penny

Monica Puig serving for Puerto Rico's first ever tennis medal

US just tied up Sweden, pretty great goal.

Amazing scenes, Puig into the final and a medal guaranteed!!

soccer game is intense. grats to Puig!

Johnson is hanging with Murray too

US not gonna get a better chance than that

just watched the 10k, ayana looked incredible. what a stunning performance

Yeah that whole race was amazingly fast.

latepass but how are u guys watching all this stuff? no cable here

horrible call!

Yeah this match is suddenly turning insane at the death.

INTO PENALTY HELL

uggggh this crazy

i'm dying

(got the app)

Oof!

.

new gloves didn't help

Well there it goes.

honestly after solo delayed to change gloves or whatever that nonsense was I rooted for sweden to find the net

welp :(

Yeah that gloves thing was terrible, it's not like she'd be trying to catch the ball at all

:(

― have you ever even read The Drudge Report? Have you gone on Stormfron (k3vin k.),

Reminded me of Tonya Harding's "BUT MY LACES, MY LACES"

#USWNT's Hope Solo "we lost to a bunch of cowards. The better team did not win' #Rio2016

like school in the summertime

lol what is her problem

hope solo is going to murder someone when she gets back stateside

what is she even salty about?

I assume she thinks Sweden played too defensively.

Getting more than six of their twenty seven shots on target might have helped the U.S. though.

yeah they had their chances

Lol at solo. Our opponents didn' t play in a manner that allowed us to win. Wah. It's giving me flashbacks to LFC vs Chelsea 2013-14.

i love all the volleyballs but the hugging/high-fiving after every single point is just too much

GREAT men's cycling final right now.

Goddamn, credit to the UK for that one and the world record too!

Australians really pulled a great ride out of the bag there, great battle
