2016 Summer Olympics: Rio preparations are 'worst' ever, says IOC VP

[Vaspinne]

Ryan Lochte supposedly robbed at gunpoint. I say supposedly because his mom has told people he has been but no one else has confirmed.

Edit: Okay, this next URL is very misleading, but it turns out the US Olympic Committee has confirmed it too

Watching the women's boxing is doing nothing for me. It's what I imagine a super-powered girl fight would look like. Maybe some of the other countries have better female boxes bit this Panama/Brazil fight is one step above a slap fight with some clinches thrown in.

Mens semi 100m was solid, finals should turn out to be epic.

Bolt runs faster than I can safely ride a Boosted Board.

A German coach died today from a head injury suffered in an automobile accident in Rio last week when the taxi he was in crashed

IOC keeps trying to take these all down only for more to keep popping up, lol.

[Obsidian]

He's not wrong.

[tyven]

Everything I've read says he dominated except for the NBC Olympics site which has an article by the AP saying he threw a tantrum after losing a close fight.

[Roranora]

Does he have an Olympic rings tattoo? He'll probably get that redone soon.

From my perspective he crushed Nikitin and the fact that he lost by unanimous decision is an embarrassment.

Edit: You can watch the full fight here. Dunno how long it'll stay up.

THANK YOU Obsidian!

No legit fan has given a fuck about Olympic boxing since at least 1984. It's the most disgraceful form of the sport where blatantly corrupt decisions and referees are an expected reality. Shit is absolutely despicable. I'd flip out if I were Conlan too after that lopsided fight.

[TsingTao]

Well said. That was some shit.
