Highlight of the Olympics for me, thus far, has been US Middleweight Terrell Gausha knocking out Andranik Hakobyan of Armenia with 1 second left in the opening stage of the boxing tourny.

Gausha floored him with 15 seconds left. Hakobyan got up, and Gausha jumped all over him, forcing the ref to stop it with a second left in the bout.

Not often you see KOs in Olympic boxing, but given how ****ed up the scoring is, it's great to see one - and one that came in dramatic fashion.

This Tennis match between France (tsongo) and Canada (raonic) will never end wow. 6-3, 3-6, now 22-22 to decide... quite a damn long game

Finally got to see him! NBC is comparing water polo and hockey in a little segment... saying the 2 are very much alike, very physical.

With all the crap they do in front of the net they do sort of have a point as far as the physicality.

Yeah, until water polo locks itself out and comes back as a "faster" and "cleaner" game and outlaws any type of contact in front of the net.

What a performance by the US women's gymnastic team, total domination! I'm curious to see the all around, Gabrielle Douglas was IMPRESSIVE to say the least.

Really happy the romanians got the bronze over the chinese, the two veterans and olympics champions Izbasa and Ponor showed how full grown women can still compete and beat those little chinese kids.

Easy with the spoilers. Us Americans aren't able to watch the most popular stuff (gymnastics, swimming, etc) live and have to wait til it's shown on prime-time in the evening.

i watched cilic vs hewitt and something was not right there.it seemed like hewitt was umpire's favorite.he overruled 3 calls and all in hewitt's favor.the last one (obviously not correct) was at the point when cilic was going to re-break back at 5-6 in 2nd set.hewitt won the game eventually and won the match.cilic refused to shake umpire's hand

Honestly, I do respect the water polo players. Watching those guys battle and treading for hours, it's a grueling sport. Tough in terms of a hockey sense? No. Not until they let two guys throw down and drown a guy (j/k). It's a hard sport, but just thought it was funny to see Pierre McGagonacock covering it. Chances are, he requested the match, not to mention locker room coverage. Just sayin'.....

I wish it wasn't swimming, diving, and gymnastics on NBC every night. I want to see some badminton, table tennis, field hockey, and more beach volleyball.

The weekend had a little bit more variety since 5 channels were showing events. Olympics to me are a time to watch competitors from all over the world who are at the best at sports I don't typically see.

NBC just jizzes all over Phelphs and Lochte all night.

if you wanna watch that, you arent gonna be watching primetime lol.. Easiest way is just to watch the streams all day and you can watch any sport you want. Been watching water polo, handball, table tennis, badmitton and vball during the daytime.
