Lochte looks like a cancer patient with that bleach-blond hair.

Switzerland's ladies were defeated by >Canada. :(

Reminder not to skip leg days

Women's table tennis about to be lit tomorrow boys

Cheering for best korea and Japan

Women's volleyball tomorrow afternoon, bros.

USA vs Serbia.

Fuck Rowing is too early. I actually like watching it too.

It's some unwritten rule that all regattas and rowing activities must begin before the asscrack of dawn even shows a little plumber's crack. I miss rowing, but goddamn do I not miss waking up at fucking 3:30 in the morning.

>The city of rowing

I think chyna has it in the bad even tho they changed the rules to fuck with them

Our boy is up tomorrow too

Why?

If you've spent much time on a lake you'd know that (barring unusual winds) dusk and dawn are usually when the waters are stillest.

Oh.

I see.

Crazy ass fucking rowing tradition, I guess.

You'll find the calmest water at dawn or dusk most places, so the idea is to be out on the glass before wind and traffic chop everything up. There's also the simple rowing philosophy that if you're not miserable, you're not trying hard enough. I think that attitude tends to carry over.

>If you've spent much time on a lake you'd know that (barring unusual winds) dusk and dawn are usually when the waters are stillest.
Yes. However, most regattas, by the time you get to finals, it's always well after 10:30. So you spend most of your time in college practicing on glass only to catch crabs left and right in your finals. That's why high school teams and a lot of colleges tend to switch up morning and afternoon practices, make sure everyone can handle some chop.

Less of an issue for my high school team; we were on the fucking intercoastal waterway, so there was always some decent chop.

I miss it some days.

Maybe it's because I'm fat, maybe it's because I consider hitting the hay at 2am to be an early night, but I cannot fathom what would possess a man to do something like this.

It's another reason I love the olympics desu. I really admire the dedication these people have. If everyone in the world was like me, there would be no sports competitions whatsoever.

Stringbeans make good coxswain material, especially if they can jump into the 1 or 2 on an eight or four if the heat/regatta schedule gets too tight on smaller teams when everyone's rowing multiple races.

Did you ever try any of the sculls? Tall, lanky folks are often better there, as it's more about skill than power, especially in high school.

I got sucked in because I was 4'9" and 95lbs as a high school freshman, Napoleon-complex as fuck and pretty much a ready-made cox. The coach begged me. By the time I was a freshman in college, I was 6'2" and 196lbs, working the engine room of an eight, in the quad and four, and occasionally in a double. Turned out being super tiny early on worked out breddy gud, because I never would have gotten into it otherwise. I ended up absolutely loving everything about it but the early goddamn mornings.

Still remember that first practice a few weeks in when I had started to get the basics down as a cox and coach threw me into the varsity men's 8 for the day. I was hoarse by the time I was out, and they were showing the vid four years later when I was graduating, standing on the gun'ls, screaming at 3 seat to get more goddamn snap in his release because we all didn't want to catch his nasty ass crabs. Like a chihuahua going after a bunch of fucking St. Bernards.

Damn. The feels.

And oh god, the Varsity women my freshman year of high school. My head height was right between their tits and camel toes, and even though they scared the everloving shit out of me on general principle, so many confused boners.

I think my early rowing years literally gave me my appetite for women over 5'10" with dem thighs. Actually now that I think about it it really explains why I've never been a boob guy but always appreciated a set of fantastic legs and ass.

Fuck. I need to join a club or something again.

Never did end up trying a scull, I imagine they would be a blast though. Just getting into a nice solid rhythm in the early morning doing laps on the lake.

>I need to join a club
Do it, bacon bro. I'd be out there three times a week if I lived near a decent club.

Dear rest of the United States. You're welcome.

sitting here watching this nuck stream like a chump

>Syrian refugee Rami Anus earned a standing ovation in the 100m freestyle as he set a personal best in finishing 56th out of 59.

LOL WTF

The world is on a downward spiral

>anus

>The audience

>I'm going to miss 5 events this morning
fug, why so early

also just realized I'll probably sleep through death march

>Rami Anus
that's a joke right, that has to be a joke

looks like tomorrow is just swimming for us again.
should win the womens relay, and maybe the mens 100 free and 200 breast, those two are far from sure things though.

>/comf/

where are you?

hello!
still 1,5 bongs to go

just checkin

my cat came home

Anyone watching the cycling time trials today

I really hope NZ can win their first gold in it, it's been a dreary olympics for us so far.

yes!
will they descent the mountain of kill again today?

where he go?

so what;s first today??

Rowing, Women's cycling time trial, Archery, Fencing

women's cycling, rowing. a bit later archery and fencing.

no, but they will have smaller descents. There might be rain, and TT bikes are absolutely treacherous to handle. Combined with the fact that if they dont push on the descents they will simply lose too much time, we might get to see some deathwheel.

Of course I have to root for Tom D, but I would not mind too much if one of the old time trial gods like Tony Martin or Fabian Cancellara take it. Would be a glorious moment. Anything but Froomey desu.

Thanks

I must be fucking retarded, because I don't understand the schedule. It's like egyptian pictograms to me.

just view it on google

AUS Olympic Team @AUSOlympicTeam
ROWING: Racing has been postponed here in Rio due to weather conditions. More updates to follow #OneTeam
>no, row row row yer boat

it keeps fucking happening

well, whatever, NZ got absolutely fucking assblasted in the rowing yesterday, I could use a break

Thanks senpai

why cant they just let it go through and let "death row" be born? I would watch that desu.

We've already had multiple deaths in the rowing m8

>tfw you're watching your countries Olympic hopes slowly spiral out of control
its only gonna get better from here, right guys?....

nice to see you mit some Gold, Jerry
was gettin nervous

i can only see about 500m of climbing, so not worth a climbing bike.... No spectacular descenders, so there will be crashes....

Looks like one for a classics man tbqh.... Or the Joker could go madman, due to being on team absolute madman

>cant even win at the rugby
nope we're fucking shit lad

We're going to win silver in all of our gold medal events.

We'll be lucky to get one gold. This olympic team is the blunder of the century.

Our Danish mercenary will win us a gold in the cycling, r-right?

We have to at least get two golds on Friday morning with men's pair and men's team sprint or we may as well pack it in.

dude, chin up

we got to do this for Team Anglo
now back up and have some tea, or coffee, or whatever you prefer

Who /nomedals/ here?

>liliana fernandez and artacho del solar are playing today

1000m climbing for the men, 500m for the women. It will be slightly too climby for the traditional flat time trial specialists like Martin and Cancellara, slightly too flat for an allrounder like Froome. Just right for Tom D but he is nursing a broken wrist. Froome and Tom D are the big favourites in most peoples opinions.

Aly Raisman is cute as fuck

How much coffee do you use for each pot??

I'm a weirdo and use 5 "heaping" table spoons per/pot
not very standard, unless you used to do The Military, otherwise, it is standard as fuck

Why is there cum in your cup?

that clearly not my cuppa
just an image

It is borderline with which bike then isnt it... Froomes x-lite memecycle could be good, and the frame might not snap b/c its an ITT so nobody around to hit it...

one tea spoon ground coffee.

No it will be TT bikes for sure. They only go for a road bike on a time trial that consists of only a steep climb, and even then some go for a TT bike.

God do you think some of the meme countries dont own TT bikes?

in a shitty electric c/m, or some thing?

do yo snort the grounds anally?? =\

k, I use 5 full spoons as well, it's how much can fit in my pot.

strange sounding pot

got an image?

>Philippines generally irrelevant when it comes to international sports
>this nigger comes along and inspires and entire generation of boxing fans to begin training to be boxers
>boxing becomes the de facto national sport of the Philippines
>every single fucking Pacquiao wannabe boxer decides to try to go pro instead representing their country in the Olympics
>this is the same fucking country that spouts nationalist propaganda about Filipino pride 24/7 about how their country is so great and how amazing the Filipino people are

>/comfy/

>/coffee/

I had a strange at ease for attentive born

Almost identical design to this one.

Most of them use their bikes from their commercial teams anyway, all will have TT bikes and will have trained and competed on them extensively.

>I have a strangely at ease but attentive boner

i'm Englishing correctly today

nice, that a cute little guy -_-

who here pic related?

no. I take a heaped teaspoonful of it, fill it in a mug and pour boiling water over it.

Where's the webm thread?

any cycling thread in lads?

R A I N I N F I V E

ah, I get ya

here lad settle in for some potential deaths on the descents

>/generals/
what is you obsession with casuals?

not a general you spaz, just a thread for the event

are we not allowed to have threads about sporting events?

just answer the question, k??

rowing cancelled

I repeat: rowing cancelled

Zika virus in the water?

>French TV say 5 medals tomorrow
>We got 5 medals
>Could have been 4 or even 5 gold
>Only 2

kill us

>flesh eating Zika mosquitoes with guns

m8 you only got gold in canoeing because our guy absolutely choked, he had by far the best time in the semis.

NZ and Australia handed France one of those golds on a silver platter, it was depressing to watch

We deserve the canoe one, but yeah i was surprised for the gold in horses

thank goodness rowing is postponed

about as much of a sport as horse riding

>postponing british medals

reeeee

I can't be fucking comfy with the trash tier coverage that Danish TV is offering me.

They barely show anything if there are no Danes in it.

And then they just run endless reruns of the previous event with a Dane in it.

Sometimes they're even showing the same two things over the different 4 channels

If not that they're not showing the olympics at all, rather showing some trashy tv show

Fuck this shit i just want to be comfy and watch olympics REEEEEEEE
