Your favorite OL sport

We swept skeet, *****.

Mens double trap shooting was won by a Brit, with a Swede coming 2nd. I didnt even see the US in the final. Perhaps all your best shooters had already died due to your 3rd world levels of gun crime

Comcast is pretty good. They are using 6 or 7 channels for coverage. Live coverage during most of the day.

There are 12 sky sports channels here showing the olympics, according to the adverts. Im told the BBC has up to 23 livestreams. I think the freedom that the internet gives us, and has been realised here by the BBC, is to watch the judo finals from yesterday, at 11am, without being subjected to an editors cut of the highlights.



For example, Im not sure if the Russian -100kg judo gold winner meant to slip Putins watch of his wrist when he shook his hand, but I got to see that without editing.. and thats gold as far as Im concerned

We won double trap last time.

I've noticed we don't tend to do as well in air rifles. To be honest, I don't actually know anyone who owns an air rifle and I'm not sure why it's even included. And it bothers me that competition shooting always uses .22s. There should be a large-bore competition with a .30 cal centerfire cartridge, like a .308 or .30-06, over long distances and varying ranges, where wind and recoil are factors.

I know the feeling! Why would they include an event my country doesnt get a medal in. Its a travesty!

Also, I thinks it worth noting that the NBC medal chart is dramatically different from the BBC one.

I wonder which definition of 'Winner' is considered kosher by all?

We win in air rifles, just not as often as in other contests. I think. I haven't actually run the numbers. I just think air rifles are kind of stupid. .22s are pansy-ass guns as it is.

If you can point and shoot at what your aiming at, what does the cailbre matter?

Youre either on target or youre not

A .22 will kill your ass dead.

They should have events American are more familiar with. I suggest drive-bys with Uzis, or that one where they call in an air strike that takes out half of their allies team and a local school.

Uzi's are an Israeli invention, I believe. Now the air strikes, well, naturally I'm going to back our Air Force.

Wow. Props to Kazakhstan with the 3 golds

Not particularly surprising, but still...

North Korea's Key to Olympic Medals: Refrigerators For Winners, Labor Camps for Losers
By JOOHEE CHO | ABC News – 35 mins ago

Upon returning home, gold medal athletes like Kim Un-Guk and An Gum-Ae would be rewarded with handsome prize money, an apartment, a car, and additional perks like refrigerators and television sets.

But most of all, they will be rewarded with a huge jump in social status with the title of "hero" or "people's athlete."

But poor performances, especially losing to their archenemy nations like the United States or South Korea, have consequences. Rumors of athletes being sent directly to labor camps upon arriving home are not confirmed, but it is a common procedure to open "review meetings" after the sports events in which participants "assess" their own and each other's games, said Kim Yo-Han.

Only if you have really good (or lucky) shot placement: heart, vulnerable areas of the head, certain arteries in the neck and leg.

They should have sports that Limeys are good at like going on strike.

Spanish baggage handlers would win every medal.

I think the North Korean weightlifter Kim Kum Sok is a hero purely for the name alone.
