Great beach volleyball match going on between Brazil and Netherlands. Chick on Brazil has a tremendous dumper and they didnt waste a lot of money on  bikini materials. 

Brazil chicks are smoke. One of the Dutch is a little thicc, feel like you don't see that much in beach volleyball.

Brazil wins

It’s certainly better than watching our soccer team getting their shit pushed in.

Soccer should be a fringe sport.

It's gone unnoticed and it shouldn't. It's really witty and they gave them a wide birth of commentary. It's funny.

Watching synchronized diving. Chinese team had a great name. Long/Wang with a perfect entry made me chuckle.

Snoop is the perfect correspondent.

[BrazilHorn 6,575]

Watching Chinese swimmers is just so annoying. Have to assume the vast majority of them are on some type of drug that  Chinese government worked 24x7 to beat testing standards.

Everybody is. I'm sure there are exceptions, but if you're talking swimming, track, field, weightlifting, and on and on, they are all using something to get an edge. The days of the "natural" athlete are long gone.

Watching a replay of the US men's v-ball team beating Japan and my takeaway was, "Sure wish Texas fielded a men's team."

Watch the medal ceremony of the heavyweight judo from earlier today. It's cool to hear a jacked up French crowd belt out La Marseillaise.

If you want to know more about the sprinters, there is a a pretty good documentary series on Netflix called Sprint. Lyles, Richardson, Thomas are heavily featured. The Jamaicans are have a big presence as well.

Show me where US swimmers have been busted repeatedly for doping then you can try and make this post. (It is as annoying to see some of the Russian swimmers coming in under different flag due to their doping)

I’ve spent the last several days totally lost until I just saw this post. I have the Olympic app and while it shows the US events, it doesn’t show tv coverage. I kept thinking NBC would be the “hub” of Olympic coverage, providing summaries of what is happening at the moment in different sports, and clarifying channel coverage, but for the most part they just cover events like every other channel. I kept missing stuff like golf. I had no idea it was on the golf channel.

Skeet shooting, Americans got gold and silver, guy who won gold it was his fourth gold medal.  The accuracy and speed on their shooting was pretty amazing.
