Amazing run by Thomas Barr to make the 400m hurdles final. Our media made a good point when they said we're kind of lucky that we're not like America with loads of athletes competing in finals and winning medals. It makes every final and every medal so incredibly special for us, so thrilled for Barr
For a nation of fat bastards it's amazing how good us Brits are on bikes!

I'm getting tired of the beach volleyball shit. Why is it that the women wear bikinis and the men just wear t-shirts and shorts?
How is that an Olympic sport?
I agree. They use sexuality and booze and party atmosphere to draw people into it for the women, and I think that is totally inappropriate. Beach volleyball is stupid because of it. If they stopped all that and just focused on the sport perhaps it would be better. I wondered why it even existed, and I decided there could be some value in having beach volleyball as opposed to just indoor volleyball because of the much smaller teams, making it a different game, plus playing on sand allows them to make moves that you could never make on a court because it would hurt to much. But the ridiculous way that beach volleyball is framed and marketed makes it a stupid, sexist joke..... It does look like it's a fun event to attend though. Everyone is drunk.
PS - The Canadian men's indoor volleyball team beat the US team in a stunning upset yesterday.
the women's beach volleyball 'uniform' briefs actually has a MAXIMUM side width measure. they cant be more than 7cm. apparently there is a one piece uniform but ive never seen it. tho I have to admit ive not seen a beach volleyball game since Sydney 2000.

I think the report forgot to mention the 5th member of the party who was with them that night. This guy: Seriously though, really does sound like they pulled an Appleby. I think the four of them got hammered, had their wallets stolen by strippers/prostitutes and made up this story out of embarrassment.
something about Lochte bothers me and when he came out with this story I was like yeah that didn't happen....must be an indictment on him because there is plenty of robberies in Rio on a daily basis

I don't know. There was a journalist who actually had the exact same experience as the one these guys are describing right before the Olympics started, with the robbers posing as cops and acting in the same way. Only difference is that they targeted just one person, not 4 huge guys. So it's not like the story is outrageous. This scenario does happen. It may have even been the same robbers, who knows? On the other hand, maybe the swimmers read the same article I did, and just reproduced the story!

I was seriously wondering when Jnimhaoelin would start speaking. That commentary was hilarious, oh wait it's not the finish line it's the start line lol

These cops deal with so many of these holdups they know all the tricks. Clearly something about this story didn't add up and got them thinking it was bs.

Either that, or the authorities are making seem like they are lying because if they aren't it makes Rio look even worse to the world. If they made it up.... seriously wtf??? Who does that in real life?? Would 4 grown men who are in the media spotlight really decide to do such a thing??

I can't believe these guys would make this up.....it's fucking 2016, there are cameras everywhere!! Bizarre story.
Super bizarre! If they did make it up, you'd think at least one of them would have cracked by now, with all this media pressure and Brazilian cops interrogating them and everything.

Edit: my favorite commentary is an Aussie commenting on the Filipino divers at the Olympics:
"oooooh, fucked it big time".

"Determined face. Determined face. Aah f**K it!"
