just saw a coach make the weightlifter sniff from a small bottle just before she went on to the stage to do the lift.

saw it yesterday with the men weightlifters too.

what is it? some kind of aromatherapy oil to energize you mentally, like lemon oil? or mint?

anybody who is so intent on pointing out every single detail on a girls body has to own at least 5 laser pointers

it's smokable/inhalable cocaine product 2012 london olympics

7/31/2012 8:49:48 PM

btw, turkish one's a looker.

0EP why are you watching butch weightlifting chicks when there are svelte gymnast chicks on TV?

7/31/2012 8:55:29 PM

hey, i am watching what i can. i would rather watch the divers or gymnasts, too. i get limited coverage.

other 2 channels have basketball (men's). so chicks' weightlifting is better.

the turkish one is seriously nice. has boobs too, the only one.

plus she can clean and jerk 2 of me at the same time

Thanks, Big4Country.

7/31/2012 9:02:15 PM

^^yep, did you see the one lady, not sure if a judge or not, when they did the replay giving the :O face

[Edited on July 31, 2012 at 9:03 PM. Reason : .]

7/31/2012 9:02:54 PM

I missed that, a lot of her vaults would get perfect scores if she would stick the landings which she managed to do this time

7/31/2012 9:04:56 PM

^^^i think it was 99 actually, i had a class with her, but didnt know anything more descriptive

maybe B4C can dig up a pic

7/31/2012 9:09:31 PM

I like watching it now with the NBC commentators and having gotten to watch it earlier without

7/31/2012 9:10:48 PM

so all the commentary is dubbed in afterwards? makes it more awkward for some reason, haha.

(i've watched most events without sound)

7/31/2012 9:14:00 PM

i don't think the sound is dubbed in...

7/31/2012 9:15:05 PM

So how did Holley do?

How do the gymnasts keep their leotards from riding up their butt? They must glue that ish down

7/31/2012 9:34:53 PM

holy shit the Russian team all look about 12 years old. Pedobear delight.

7/31/2012 9:36:36 PM

^^they do


The sound on the stream is totally different commentary (if you watch that stream) than the commentary on primetime. I believe Shannon Miller (Magnificent 7 member in the 1996 Olympics) was on the commentary earlier today for gymnastics.

damn that last romanian chick killed that balance beam routine

7/31/2012 9:43:04 PM

I love how the commentators keep talking about how "yesterday we saw the pictures of Jordyn Wieber in tears."

No shit, you guys framed those shots on purpose and then ran with that narrative for a full 24 hours.

...fuckin' ESPN over here.

7/31/2012 9:44:44 PM

She was 24!! That's insane.

7/31/2012 9:46:20 PM

^^ are you really surprised by that?

you do realize that these primetime broadcasts are geared towards housewives, right?

7/31/2012 9:48:34 PM

laura bush is super happy for her daughter

7/31/2012 9:50:45 PM

this gabby chick killed it in the trials

that doesn't make sense

housewives watch television during the day

7/31/2012 9:54:59 PM

^^word, i thought her name was robert paulson

7/31/2012 9:55:26 PM

the olympics site is annoying - was trying to see who all the gymnasts that were participating are and they only list the 5 that competed in the team comp

7/31/2012 9:58:51 PM

this is random considering gymnastics is on, but am i the only one who wouldn't be upset if lochte didn't win shit the rest of the olympics? guy just seems like an arrogant asshole

7/31/2012 9:58:55 PM

nope, I'm gladly pulling against him

7/31/2012 9:59:45 PM

Michael Phelps is Michael Jordan

Lochte is Harold Miner

Also ditto on Lochte. Somebody on twitter was joking about a bro-off between him and Gronk.

it's Ammonium carbonate (smelling salts). sniffing Ammonia salts will stop any thoughts you're currently distracted by and allow you to redirect your focus solely to lifting a heavy weight.

7/31/2012 10:04:00 PM

^ the fuck

7/31/2012 10:06:18 PM

haha Im not surprised eulesis knows this

7/31/2012 10:07:15 PM

Are people not familiar with smelling salts being used in sports or what? They use them in most contact sports.

^^ word - i was just going off someone saying sacramone qualified for the vaults and thinking...she's not on the fucking team

[Edited on July 31, 2012 at 10:15 PM. Reason : ]

7/31/2012 10:15:10 PM

yeah i thought she qualified, but just googled and realized she didnt

from the limited amount of the qualifiers i watched, i thought she made it

7/31/2012 10:17:35 PM

7/31/2012 10:20:01 PM
