"You go into the biggest race, the Olympic Games, and you have to wear a different pad in your shorts."

Also one of the back-up bike cars almost ran over a rider.

But this all seems pretty standard and no Brazil-specific shenanigans yet.

We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule



As much as I want things to go wrong for my own amusement in the games, that first photo gave me chills.

On the other hand discovered we have 3 channels of coverage and missed the cobblestone shenanigans. It's still cycling so still not a real sport though. Needs more (legit) motors.

EDIT: How the gently caress doesn't the opposing team cars not brake-check sneaky riders using the slip stream? The engineering brain inside me and seeing too many flow dynamic studies of airflow behind your average car makes me smile that anything they try is worth it.

Nah. we all know NBC did what they did purely for greed. They just wanted to show it during the time frame they figured would have the most viewers and have the ability to throw shitloads of advertising in the mix because "OMG I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COKE/MCDONALDS/CHEVY/OTHER SPONSOR BECAUSE GODDAMN SELL SELL SELL BUY BUY BUY gently caress YOU"

Imagine a New Zealander Rugby team, then imagine what those blokes go home to every night. Those girls earned their place well before the games.


EDIT: poo poo I thought of that NZ movie 'Once were warriors'. I'm not talking about domestic violence! I mean, imagine the mens team being a bunch of mean pricks, then imagine their girlfriends/wives that own their balls once they get home from the pub.

EDIT 2: A broadcast commentator compared the mens cycling to 'Isle of Man TT'. gently caress off you oval office.

Aussie and NZ female rowers learning to stay fast in the water and not get low enough into it to catch any 'crabs' (viruses).

Great to see the cyclists joining in on the whole country wide 'gently caress this bottle, I don't need it, better throw it in the gutter'
