One of the cool things about beach volleyball is that the matches are almost always under an hour.

I would probably kill myself if I walked this much and I know it takes phenomenal endurance, but good lord man this event is ridiculous

Why do the divers all take showers after they dive? It's the pool that dirty?

Pretty sure for my younger years, I considered the pool as my bath for the day.

Baseball still down 1-0 in the bottom of the 8th. Japan is batting last.

We have 2 boxers fighting for gold. Also, 4 cycling golds up for grabs, but I don't think we're favored for any plus volleyball and basketball. China has a boxer, rhythmic gymnastics, and cyclists too.

I could have miscounted, but it looks like Japan has won 15 golds and 26 total medals in events added or re-added this year.

Looks like it comes down to 4 more realistic gold opportunities for the US (basketball, volleyball, boxing x 2) and 1 more for China (boxing).

Crazy how Olympic boxing used to be HUGE, while this year I haven't seen a single second of it or a highlight. They ruined it with the S Korean Roy Jones sham on '88 and it's been all downhill since

Women's bball should be a lock. Hopefully vball comes thru too

Nbc just showed a graphic that shows USA with 4 gold opportunities tonight versus 1 for China?

Gonna need those boxers to come through. Brazil has looked good all tournament in vball and the USA isn't fully healthy

The chinese slave labor diving program comes thru again. How young do they start, how many hours do they put in at the expense of everything else in their life including any semblance of education, and how many that couldnt cut it are disposed of along the way?

Badminton is 5 with singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. I think table tennis is the same but instead if doubles they have "teams". I don't know WTF "teams" even means other than a way to juice the event and medal count

I never understood why baseball and softball got dropped. Given the love of the game in Asia and latin america, it seems plenty inclusive to me. It's america's past-time but we're clearly not dominant at it
