troutman Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Did they ever figure out what turned the water green in on of the pools?Both pools now. Algae. Ran out of some of the chemicals they needed. http://nypost.com/2016/08/12/olympians-officially-terrified-of-green-fart-smelling-water/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Watching the golf, and thinking how awesome it would be to have a 4 man scramble for a medal... 1 round. I bet we could see 20 under :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Russia 3 Poland 2 in volleyball. This result will prevent us from winning the group. 2nd place almost certain, but with all the craziness in pool A, it's difficult to decide if 1st or 2nd seed would be more desirable. And what do the movers and shakers on the other side feel like doing now? Their 4th seed will play Argentina in the quarterfinal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Handball, Poland 25 Sweden 24 That was a war. Poles look good to qualify to the last 8...unless Germany decides to lose to Egypt on Monday. It would be nice to try and steal a win against Slovenia in the last group match, otherwise the boys will have to face France in the quarterfinal. I'm hoping to play Denmark instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I was at the Italy - Puerto Rico women's volleyball match, followed by China - USA. Sadly, Stella started to be really annoyed with the high volume of the music and cheering, and we had to leave after the 01st set of the USA match. China was playing way better! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 4 U.S. Swimmers including Lochte, robbed by crooks dressed like cops? Or were they frikin cops????http://www.foxnews.c...-in-brazil.html"They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground," Lochte said. "I refused, I was like, 'We didn't do anything wrong, so — I'm not getting down on the ground.'"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, 'Get down,' and I put my hands up, I was like 'Whatever.' He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cellphone, he left my credentials." Lochte is a nut! Advise: Armed robber says get on the ground...get on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finding IT Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Got in VERY late for the rugby, but saw the last minutes of the 05th place match. NZ beat Argentina, and now comes the 03rd place game: Japan vs South Africa. Hope you are watching the Gold medal match- lots of action! Fiji is running all over Great Britain. Halfway through and it is Fiji 29-GB 0 . The Fiji style of open play lends itself very well to Sevens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
