I see Hope Solo is living up to her cunty reputation.

Plus, her nudes weren't that great.

Amazing final. Australia really rode their chance and pressed team Wiggins but the invincible Brits set another WR.

Yeah, real exciting, well done to Australia for pushing them so close. 

I love track cycling

Has any of you ever met/hanged out with an Olympian? Just curious. One of my high school classmates won a silver medal in the 2000s Olympics (men's football). I had the honor of helping him cheat his university admission exams...

Who? Gabri? Luque? Toni Velamazán?

The Olympic diving pool started to smell of fart and a couple of divers complained they got itchy eyes from it. Go RIO!

A Dutch rider just managed to keep her balance after being pushed on to the rail on her bike. She rode a couple of seconds on a vertical side wall. That's insane.

Unai Bergara.

Injuries destroyed his career, sadly.

I'll have to see that, which event, BMX?

Also when does Peter Sagan go in the mountain bike?

You'd think it was BMX but it was track cycling, in the Keirin event. She was in toe clipped pedals too.

EDIT: Name was    Laurine van Riessen

I know one of the 2008/2012 Olympian rowers. In fact, I gave him his very first rowing lessons.

The Dutch riders have been crashing out (literally and figuratively) all over the place.

She won the follow up heat and progressed anyway though. I'm a fan.
