I'd be taking a bleach shower similar to the one Cher got in Silkwood.

The non stop commercials makes watching this mind numbing, will have to just stick to highlight clips and gifs of beach volleyball.

On the tennis front there is a Djokovic (world N°1) vs Del Potro (former US Open winner who struggled with injuries this past three years) match that is pretty damn intense. Del Potro won the first set and is clobbering the ball with his forehand like in the good old days.

Americans are winning too many golds. Having to stand for the national anthem interrupts my shitposting.

I was watching wimmins rugby earlier and the announcers were bagging on one team (colombia I think) for being fat cows. He said, "I mean look at them. Obviously their conditioning program is lacking" and the camera just happened to be trained on a chub around at the time.

Also, I watched handball and did not expect that. I thought handball was played on a racketball court.

You probably expected american handball, a variant of gaelic handball which is one of the many 'hit ball against wall(s) with your hand' sport (see also Basque pelota). None of these are Olympic sports as there are very few practitioners with minimal geographic spread.

Apparently, the world map of handball (the team sport played at the Olympics) is continental Europe (south, west, north and east) + South America (not that good at it though) + Qatar (who bought themselves a team).

Whatever. It's not a terrible sport. It's kind of like soccer but interesting. Or lacrosse without the sticks. The leaps into the crease and the penalty throws are pretty awesome.

In the early 2000 there was a very famous french soccer coach, Guy Roux, who also commented some matches on TV and he said that defenses in soccer are now so well organized and the passing game so precise that the sport was about to become handball played with the feet, where you move the ball around the defense searching for an opening. That was pretty prophetic of him. I probably posted this anecdote before at some point, but your comment reminded me of it.

PS: I would not want to be a handball goalkeeper.
