This is a cool series of animated infographics by the NYT on what separates some of of the top US athletes: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/05/sports/olympics-triple-jumper-christian-taylor.html?module=Article&region=footer&action=Click&pgtype=Multimedia

It looks very hard to win at judo, you try a grab the other guys (robe) dont know wat they call it, but they have to grab and try to put them on the floor but they just struggle out of it so harder to grab and throw them.
I was watching the mens one also

From FiveThirtyEight:

I remember ages ago Harvey M (old troll/dumbass kid) said volleyball was the most popular Olympic sport and got howled down. Maybe he was right :huh:

The Philippino diving team was hilarious, also the gymnastics guy who broke his leg and I think there was a runner who also broke his leg.  Shit was gross.

ya man so insane.

omfg @ #1 .. that's absolutely crazy.

I used to play ping pong at work .. we had tournaments and stuff. All i tried to do was kill the ball; I lost alot. There were a few really legit dudes though .. mostly people of indian, eastern european, and jamaican descent. It was really fun watching them up close, they looked a bit like pros.. the Indian dude was unbeatable.

Anyone watching Australia v USA men's basketball? Close game so far with Bogut looking like a superstar. Delly and Green competing for worlds most annoying player on the side.

I did judo for like 6 years when I was a kid. I was thinking about doing it in the fall to improve my balance, fitness and play more physically. Some of the throws you can do are pretty intense. The ground game is kind of like wrestling with armbars and chokes and pins.
