OTL would have been a great Olympic sport but they would not agree to change team names to something more viewer friendly....if you've never been to an OTL tournament it's really a blast !

Godfather.

What's OTL?

Over The Line, a sport similar to baseball but no pitcher....it's a California beach thing but they have a huge tournament once a year,
look it upon Google and check out the names of the teams as well...but ready for some foul names.

This is the Olympics ... it seems like there always complaints, but somehow they usually go off without to many headaches, I read of nightmare possibilities at Sochi and even Vancouver ... in the end who really cares, the Olympics are another gigantic money pit that usually cost taxpayers

Gymnast Marisa Dick from Trinidad & Tobago invents a new move never seen before in competition......it does have an odd name though it's called The Dick. Seen below at the ten second mark I'd say it's impressive flexibility.

It's not original: Godfather does that when he pulls up to his favourite watering hole.

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.

Good thing for the Canadian woman or we might be in trouble ... but Canada is doing better than I expected at this point, now lets get a Gold or 2. And Micheal Phelps, 19 golds so far. If Phelps were a country he'd be 35th in all-time gold ...

A phenomenal swimmer he is indeed, but there are just far too many medals available in swimming events.
There is no other sport in the Olympics general enough to allow for so many Golds to go to one person.

Hard to believe that tiny island of Jamaica has more gold and total medals that the country with the population of India. I gather those medals for Jamaica are mostly from track and field.

Agreed ... but he's enjoyable to watch and him competing in this Olympics got me to watch more than i thought I would. But no one swimmer has enjoyed his success so he's unique.

That is fucked up. I have no problem with banning the Russians who were banned. I think that really is to do with doping. Not for political reasons, but as a way to send a message to Russia with regard to its Olympic athletics program, and as a message to other nations and athletes too. But I am surprised anyone can refuse a drug test at the Olympics. I was under the impression that all Olympic athletes were required to comply whenever they are asked. That it is that woman from Kosovo - the first athlete from Kosovo to ever compete in the Olympics, let alone win a gold medal - makes this more scandalous than it would be otherwise. I have a hard time believing that this is just the end of it, or "no pro" as you put it.

Didn't the Russian ban have more to do with state sponsored cheating? And I was under the impression that all medalist were tested and samples were kept for so long after the test so samples could be re-tested as advances in technology allow.

Yes, it has everything to do with state sponsored doping (via the Olympic athletics program).
