This thread is does not have much olympics in it.

Is anyone else getting sick of this Michael Phelps BS?

I'm sick of pretty much every aspect of NBC's Olympic coverage. It is absolutely godawful.

That said, I still want Phelps to win all the medals. Because 'MURICA.

I think Aussieland came in second in the women's relay? That's better than not medaling at least.

Watching him beat Le Clos was so satisfying. And the #phelpsface memes have been kinda amusing.

I mean we're not terrible, but before every Olympics they're like "Australia are gonna win soooo many golds, we are favourites to win in allll these swimming events", and then we win like 2, and the rest of the "favourites" bomb out.

Briar

I was shocked China was beat by Russia in women's gymnastics

It really was, after Le Clos ran his mouth so much. Yeah, the Phelps death stare was the best. I tried to use it a bit ago, but my tablet-fu is not strong.

Also China didn't win gold in one of the synchronized diving events, first time since '04, leading to this awkward hug by the Great Britain team: http://www.nbcolympics.com/sites/default/files/styles/951x536_rectangle/public/field_image/10August2016/great-britain-laugher-mears-celebreate.jpg?itok=_Fq1pRdh

That's literally a perfect description of any NBC Olympics broadcast where the US is not actually favored to win. Its awful.

Wow, yeah, that is awkward as hell. But hey, go Britain!

I think it's because NBC makes their montages ahead of time.

Don't worry Lucy, even if Australia is bad@sports you still get the benefit of Michelle Jenneke being everyones favorite runner.
