Can't make this poo poo up, Serbian rowers capsize into gross water

lmao

quote:

Fisa also denied that the Serbians faced any dangers from falling into the water. “It is nearly drinking water,” Smith said. “It’s swimming quality. It’s really good. Some might say there are viruses there, but it’s amazingly good right now.”

The the above statement is hilarious since testing found the water quality was a billion times worse in some places.

if santos dumont didn't spend his days partying it up in france instead of working on stuff he could have made the flight before the wright bros

quote:

Winning the de la Meurthe prize made him an international celebrity. With air traffic control restrictions still decades in the future, he would float along the Paris boulevards at rooftop level in his No. 9 Baladeuse, often landing in front of a fashionable outdoor cafe for lunch. On one occasion, he even flew it early one morning to his own apartment at No. 9, Rue Washington, just off Avenue des Champs-Élysées, not far from the Arc de Triomphe.[17] In 1903 Aida de Acosta piloted Santos-Dumont's airship.

he might not have created the airplane first but drat if he didn't get mad pussy by pulling these stunts

Here is who that oiled up dude is from the parade of nations,

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/na...5001db4fff94a9d

His name is Pita Taufatofua, taekwondo fighter. He was the first athlete to qualify for Rio from his country after winning gold in the 80+ kg competition at the Oceania Olympic Tournament.

edit : A whole bunch of pictures from yesterday,

http://www.abplive.in/sports/day-2-best-pictures-from-rio-olympics-394250#image22

also the guy who invented the butt lift died,

Celebrated Brazilian plastic surgeon Ivo Pitanguy has died at the age of 93, a day after passing the Olympic torch for the Rio Games. He died of a heart attack at home in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, a spokeswoman said. On Friday, he had held the torch in the Rio neighbourhood of Gavea, on the final leg of the Olympic relay. He cemented Brazil's place as a destination for plastic surgery, giving the world the "Brazilian butt lift".

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37001270

Finally, "Brazilian gold medal hopeful Sarah Menezes suffered a gruesome injury in the quarter finals of women’s judo (48kg) during Day 1 of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.As Menezes was grappling with Mongolia’s Urantsetseg Monkhbat, Menezes was tossed to the ground, but not in a fashion that would award Monkhbat an ippon (full point,/immediate victory). Once on the mat, Monkhbat seized upon Menezes right arm and wrenched it into a deep armbar. Menezes twisted onto her stomach as Monkhbat hyper-extended the arm to the point it appeared to snap. At the moment of likely fracture, Menezes immediately tapped - granting Monkhbat the ippon. "

And it was like the 3rd fastest time in the world since the US chick in the heat before was a bit slower. The commentator was pretty "calmly angry" about the doper.

Why aren't they doing "random" testing before/after events "randomly" on every russian athlete?

Or does the IOC literally not give a gently caress?

It's funny how they went from a blanket ban to letting all the Russian athletes compete despite the massive amounts of fraud.
