Can we say this about every Olympic athlete that wins an individual gold that doesn't involve a gun or a diving board

The Canadian men's volleyball team...yikes. A bunch of 6'8 guys with 40 inch verticals. You can't even see the ball.

Ridiculous upset in men's judo. Guy from Zambia ranked #112 in the world knocked off the #6 in the world.

Venus and Serena got ousted from the doubles just a while ago. They had won gold in the last three Olympics.

Venus also lost her first match in the singles competition.

I thought she might have broke her neck and died, just no movement after the landing.

100m breast stroke should be interesting...woman won semifinal heat and has been a positive tested doper and she finished and wagged her finger Mutumbo style....as she did that Lily King was watching on the monitor and wagged her finger back then went out in 2nd semi and beat her by .02, afterwards the reporter asked her about the finger wag and she said she doesn't have any respect for a known cheater waving her finger like she's the best.

In other news....outside of the man shoulders and no boobs due to insane amounts of swimming, why are women swimmers so ugly? Geesh

The only thing winter about it is the name. It's going to be in the 70s and 80s the entire time.

Phelps killed it in the relay tonight. Can't wait to see what else he can do.
