Can't tell if Women's Eight team is crying or just squinting into the sun, or both.

8/2/2012 8:34:35 PM

Is there anywhere that shows what times they are airing what events? All I could find was a listing of all the events tonight, not a breakdown of when what is being shown.

8/2/2012 8:50:23 PM

you can choose to look at the listings by sport rather than time, that might help you out

8/2/2012 8:51:23 PM

Yeah I saw that, for gymnastics though it just says 7-11 unless I am completely missing it...which is entirely possible

8/2/2012 8:56:41 PM

it was on earlier today you could probably just stream the gymnastics clip or wait until they replay it in primetime. I'm guessing it will air gymnastics around 10ish

8/2/2012 8:58:25 PM

london2012 has good listings for each sport for each day, although i assume its local London times

If you can afford to ship your child off to get trained to be an Olympian, why can't you get her some damn braces. Gabby been chewing rocks. Hopefully she takes some of that 25000 for her gold and get a ortho appointment.

but it still seems dumb

8/2/2012 11:27:28 PM

i'd get uncomfortable if i was doing floor exercises and somebody else was doing beam or vice versa

i'd also get uncomfortable if as a man i was ever doing floor exercises

8/2/2012 11:36:37 PM

8/2/2012 11:37:20 PM

wow

8/3/2012 7:35:47 AM

I can see how that would be construed as racist, but I've seen that commercial at least 8 times and never thought it before someone claimed it was racist.

I'm not the right demographic though, so understandable if I'm not offended.

Maybe if it was directly after a story about the black male gymnast or something? Girls don't even do the rings...

8/3/2012 7:58:00 AM

people are just looking for something to be offended by

8/3/2012 8:03:59 AM

WOW #NBCFail

8/3/2012 8:05:46 AM

I don't consider it racist, just poorly timed.

8/3/2012 8:07:48 AM

You follow a story about a successful African-American gymnast with a commercial featuring a monkey gymnast. That is racism at its core. NBC is/can't be that ignorant.

8/3/2012 8:10:32 AM

you people need a hobby

8/3/2012 8:14:05 AM

"North Korea's Key to Olympic Medals: Refrigerators For Winners, Labor Camps for Losers By JOOHEE CHO | ABC News – North Korea's Olympic athletes are thrilling their countrymen with surprising success in winning medals and they are attributing their success to their Dear Leader Kim Jong Un. But others, including former North Korean athletes who have defected, suggest the success of the country's small contingent of athletes at the games may be the result of a policy of training them from a very young age at specialized schools, backed up by rewards like cars and refrigerators for winners and the threat of labor camps for losers. North Korea ranks 14th in the overall medal count, but fifth in terms of the number of gold medals with four. The country won two golds in men's weightlifting, one in women's weightlifting and one in women's judo. It also captured a bronze medal in women's weightlifting. The communist nation has 56 athletes competing in 11 sports. Its hopes for additional medals lie in boxing, wrestling, diving, table tennis, judo, and archery. The best Olympic result in the past was four gold medals and five bronzes in Barcelona 1992. Joyful residents in North Korea gather to watch the games on huge outdoor screens and public places with television connection. "After witnessing the gold medal at the Olympics, my heart is unutterably happy and my pride (in our nation) is growing," an unidentified woman said on state television news. That pride is exactly what the country's new 28 year-old leader Kim Jong Un is looking for. He has taken control of the impoverished nation of 25 million after his father Kim Jong Il passed away last December. Decades of famine have left many North Koreans bitter and analysts say this Olympic Games' fever is a perfect opportunity to generate loyalty and devotion among his subjects. Gold medalist Kim Un-Guk, who set an Olympic record in 62-kilogram weightlifting, dutifully attributed his triumph to their leader Kim Jong Un. "I won first place because the shining Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un gave me power and courage," he told reporters in London. An Kum-Ae, who won her gold in the women's judo 52-kilogram division, said, "I cannot be any happier than right now for I can give my gold medal to our great leader, Kim Jong Un." Woo-Young Lee, a professor at University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, says, "Athletes in North Korean society are revered as elites and they are managed, trained, and supported on a national level." Hand-picked by the Communist Party's Sports Committee, the athletes are trained at very young ages and registered at specialized schools which provide "daily meals and spending money at times," said Gu-Kyeong Bang, a defector living in South Korea. Secret to North Korea's Olympic Success Bang was a student athlete in Taewondo in the North. Training involved four hours of "ideological education" per week aimed at cultivating loyalty to the leader. "They play with a different mind set," said another North Korean defector to the South, Kim Yo-Han. "An absolute loyalty towards the country and the leader is the core foundation of the North Korean athletes' sportsmanship." Kim's father was a soccer coach and mother was a rhythmic gymnastics coach in the North. Upon returning home, gold medal athletes like Kim Un-Guk and An Gum-Ae would be rewarded with handsome prize money, an apartment, a car, and additional perks like refrigerators and television sets. But most of all, they will be rewarded with a huge jump in social status with the title of "hero" or "people's athlete." But poor performances, especially losing to their archenemy nations like the United States or South Korea, have consequences. Rumors of athletes being sent directly to labor camps upon arriving home are not confirmed, but it is a common procedure to open "review meetings" after the sports events in which participants "assess" their own and each other's games, said Kim Yo-Han. If during that process the person is determined "disloyal" to their Dear Leader, the athlete is likely to be expelled from the sports organization and at times sent to labor camps. Yunjoo Lim and Sungeun Lee contributed to this report "

After seeing the pic below, I wondered what was up with the excessive clown like makeup and the stuff on the hair

http://l.yimg.com/os/388/2012/06/21/AP120527017764-jpg_175125.jpg

Then I read

Quote :

"t can up to an hour to apply the layers of makeup, lipstick and mascara necessary to convey the slightest facial expressions to judges and audiences who are far away from swimmers during the routine. "

Quote :

"No, it's not Aqua Net, but Knox (flavorless gelatin mix) which is added to boiling water and then painted on to the hair to make it stay in place during the four rigorous minutes in the water. Afterward it can take as long as an hour under piping hot water to rinse the mixture out."

So a sport which requires makeup as an integral part is part of the Olympics?

(pics 3 and 8 are awesome)

Some men are feeling discriminated against because they can't take part in Men's Rhythmic Gymnastics or Men's Synchronized Swimming as they are not Olympics sports

^actually a good read, makes a lot of sense

makes it that much more difficult to remain visibly stoic

ive always wondered what the deal was with make up and the pinning the hair back

isnt it weird when you realize that with all the boys and girls competeing at 16 and 17 in the olympics, and the girls even younger competing in other events...that the women and men you see competing in college are simply way past their prime and will not amount to anything?
