Seems to be true with indoor volleyball also.

Short haired Australian is really tilting me for some reason? Seems more concerned with being over exuberant and tring to get in USA heads than with winning

Modern pentathlon should definitely go. I mean, swimming, pistol shooting, fencing, show jumping, you need a seven figure income just to afford it. Off with their heads I say.

It's supposed to test all the skills needed by a military courier 100 years ago.

I like the backstory, but the event itself is kinda lame.

her last 100 was 29,75 and 28,93

Lochte: 29,55 and 29,10
Perreira (silver medal) 30,36 and 29,34

Phelps 29,88 and 28,44

Indeed...

That said Natalie Cook (Aus #1) is about 100 years old...

Agree with the volleyball sentiments, though we had an amazing server in high school that would have won 80% of points from this amazing dip serve...

That said, he was so far elite above us it wasnt funny (I think he played in Athens)

Is the Australian - US American beach volleyball match live right now?
Can't believe that this crappy German channel shows something live.

so beach volleyball between US/Aussie as well as Turkey/Brazil volleyball are both currently live right now, but instead of choosing to broadcast either live on tv, nbc decides to put the handball match that they just finished live streaming up on nbcsports, this idiocy knows no bounds.

Australians seem to be going for finesse constantly whereas USA are just bombing it.

USA chant breaks out as Australia win a point chyeaaa

Then Australia give up a point missing a serve! ****!
