China's crumbling, like Barbara's cremated corpse.

[njingles3]

Not sure what China thinks they're gonna do by backing off every time.

[phrenile]

Yeah, that net rule has to go.

[njingles3]

The let serve really has to go.

[Obscure Name]

What a stupid rule.

[Ed Hillel]

This sport would be more exciting if you could kick sand in your opponents' faces.

[Ahriman]

Yeah, I'm rooting for China now. A tramp stamp of Jason Kidd's number? Seriously?

[Ed Hillel]

That fucking net again.

[Obscure Name]

She's faking it.

[phrenile]

Send Tian Jia down to Pawtucket.

[Ed Hillel]

2 really dumb mistakes from the Chinese the last 5 points.

Gold medal point!

[njingles3]

Democracy prevails.

[Obscure Name]

USA! USA! USA!

[phrenile]

Done. Barbara's going to be clay.

[Ed Hillel]

USA! USA! USA!

[Ahriman]

Booooo. I mean, a Jason Kidd tramp stamp, people.

To quote Mike Goldberg (UFC Announcer): ITS ALL OVER!

Maybe she likes to get beaten around in the sack.

Taking too much away from your Jimmy Jackson tramp stamp?

[phrenile]

Kerri goes for the hug, but Misty's pumping in another direction.

[SoxFanSince57]

That was GREAT!

Gold, Water, The Greatest EVER

It's of Detlef Schrempf and on my innner thigh, thank you very much.

[Ed Hillel]

Shout out to W.

[Drocca]

Shout out to W.

Yeah, that was...weird.

[Obscure Name]

Booooo. I mean, a Jason Kidd tramp stamp, people.

If I can root for Kobe, a Jason Kidd tramp stamp is nothing.

[BigMike]

I thought the highlight was Misty May doing the cheerleader dance after winning

[gaelgirl]

Yeah, that was...weird.

It was far less weird than offering your ass to the president so he can slap it, which Misty May-Treanor did at the beginning of the games. So... I'm guessing they had a good time hanging out with him.

[Monbo Jumbo]

Confirmed - hopefully a youtube of that moment will show up in the Babes of the Olympics thread.

[Bosoxen]

Oh God, one can only hope so.

[Ahriman]

This Rodgers guy is stinking it up.

Eh, now they both stink.

Is it that hard to set it when they serve it right at you? These guys looks terrible.

[shawnrbu]

Dalhausser is an animal.

I saw some of the earlier rounds in this and I saw one match where Rogers/Dalhausser were absolutely dominant. I would imagine they'll turn it on.

I also think, in terms of serves, these guys do some pretty weird shit with the ball when they dish it up. Knucklers, top spin, setting it ablaze with kerosene. Coupled with the speed, it's gotta be pretty tough for even the pros to handle.

[shawnrbu]

Rogers is the Alex Cora of Beach V-Ball.

[Obscure Name]

$10,000 for sand? You can get that shit for free at the beach.

[Hendu's Gait]

$10,000 for sand? You can get that shit for free at the beach.

AFAIK, the Chinese teams train in Hainan. Maybe there's something wrong with the sand on the mainland, like heavy pollution or something?

[ThreeIfBaerga]

$10,000 for sand? You can get that shit for free at the beach.

They didn't say this during the piece but Rogers also explicitly requested that the net be made from the woven skin of rare Siberian tigers. Oh how money has changed you, Rogers.

[ThreeIfBaerga]

By the way, I think it's very odd that, with the exception of the Olympics, I watch zero beach volleyball. Yet, for some reason, I know exactly who Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith are and think of their names anytime beach volleyball is mentioned.

[njingles3]

Dalhausser got lucky. He just assumes Rogers will finish the kill and he plays in the sand rather than wait for a possible deflection.

[njingles3]

Great turnaround to win the first set!

[shawnrbu]

Good guys take the first set.

[Ahriman]

The crowds for beach volleyball have been awesome.

Brazil choked.

[Hendu's Gait]

Please stop interviewing the ugly Olympians.

Sincerely,

Males 18-49

[ThreeIfBaerga]

Great ending to that first set. Huge choke by the Brazilians to botch that.

This Fabio guy is pretty high on himself. Of course, even growing up in Brazil, having the name Fabio probably leads to some good social defense mechanisms.

[njingles3]

Everyone double touching the sticky balls.

[shawnrbu]

Looking like a 3setter.

Can Fabio backup Perk next season?

[njingles3]

This 15 point thing is another dumb rule in volleyball.

It'd be like playing games 1-6 of the World Series as 9 inning games but game 7 would be a 5 inning game.

[Ananti]

What if you had to use the same pitchers, then maybe I could see cutting the innings short.

I think they do it because it would be too exhausting.

[shawnrbu]

Dalhausser can taste the Gold.

[njingles3]

Our tall guy is just fucking beasting their tall guy.
