Jos van Emden in the nude tomorrow.

More like he is turning around the not bad Belgian day

I don't mean anything, I just noticed it

In posts with 1 or 2 flags I don't care so much, but for posts with a ton of flags, this is so much better

Zanzibar having a flag here is pretty cool

Greenlandic rebels

Dideriksen reminds me of Dafne Schippers and David Coulthard (yeah this medal ceremony is sort of the first time I see her not racing )

Gros

Denmark on their way to gold.

Women's madison, the highlight of the last track champs

I saw those cool big faces before the start

Which moron thought this was a good point of view?

Or sepak takraw and kabaddi but that's just because I like sepak takraw and kabaddi.

Too bad they were won in two separate championships

Apparently Brazil has notified the IHF that they won't be able to send a team, so Austria replaces them. I'm curious what happened...I know there have been huge budget cuts in Brazilian sports recently, but on their website's federation I read this 'clarification note' which seems to talk about a police operation against them last month? ("Operation Seven Meters" if I'm not mistaken, that's creative ) http://www.brasilhandebol.com.br/Admin/Anexos/003048_Nota de Esclarecimento.pdf @thiago_simoes @vinipereira @juliosilva Could you help out with what this stuff means? My Portuguese is good enough to sort of get the general lines, but not good enough for more detailed information and Google Translate doesn't work in this case

Definitely, but still, one might expect athletes in an event like this to at least be able to keep up for a while. I know someone has to be the first or second or third to be eliminated of course, but usually that person just loses out in the sprint and doesn't look like he simply gassed out already..

In these speeds, possibly, but I'm not a semi-professionaly trained rider

Three laps and the Slovak dude gassed out. Come on Sagan

Polish dude

Derny problems

Yep, BBC was a bit late with noticing that Strange to relegate Ligtlee for moving outside of the red because someone else touched him, but alright.

How on earth did Eilers not fall?

Crashing onto the wood with 65 per hour, damn.

Hellooooo gold medal
