And online I can watch Womens Weightlifting. BEEFCAKE!

Yo, mark spoilers with the event so we know what you're talking about.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

This road race is boring.

Luckily CBCsports.ca has me covered! Fencing! Weightlifting! Volleyball!

[King Ellis]

There's fencing? I don't have any option for fencing.

Seven's coverage is baffling. Can't believe they didn't bring Roy and H.G. back - instead replacing it with some show with Kyle Gillies and Andrew Fucking Daddo.

Olympics need more MMA

[Slogger]

Why? It's just another excuse for America to win 3 medals in one event.

[Hugar Twriker Eats Spam]

May I suggest that maybe we make individual topics for certain countries or something. Like make a topic for the USA where Americans can talk about what they see on their tv spoiler free and an UK topic for the English so they can talk spoiler free as from what I can tell and what I bet will happen is that this topic will turn into spoilers (a lot of time I am not sure if they have been shown in the US yet) and people posting spoilers with out the spoiler tags. Maybe four different topics, a general topic, a UK topic, a US topic, and a Australia topic(as I think that is the three countries where we have our most members at. At the end of the olympics the topics can all be combined, but I just think the olympics are a big enough deal that it can warrant four different topics.

[Mongrel]

Yeah I agree - do Australia and England get broadcast times which are all that different? If not, maybe just a US, "The Rest" and a General Discussion one for however many hours after an event.

Woah, that was pretty awesome. There was a lead group of a Spanish dude, a Luxembourgian and someone else, with a chase group of a Russian and an Aussie a fair distance behind, but catching up ever so slowly. About 2km to go they got them in sight with the Russian and Aussie working pretty well together. Then out of nowhere this Swiss dude comes along at a great speed, so the Aussie and Russian attach themselves to him and he brings them up to the other group for the final 300m sprint. The Spaniard ending up winning but unfortunately the Aussie got 6th
