You can watch it here, not sure why it's not on the CBC website. Maybe because they're going to rerun it at night? |

Gawd, what’s with announcers. The pronunciation of the Japanese language is pretty simple. There’s five basic vowel sounds. Ten consonants in front of those vowel sounds. That’s it. There is no Long A sound, for example. Okay, there’s one more sound the un as in Kim Jun Un (n) sound.
Te, as in ten. Ri as in Lee (okay, that’s a hard one to get right. It’s between really and leeley). Ya, as in yeah. Ki, as in key. Teriyaki. Not teriyaki as in yakity yak.
I explain it to so many people and they get it right pretty quick.

I hope they open up the online store again. I wouldn't mind paying double of the usual price to support the games.

Read a WSJ article last night
London was by far the most expensive games at 11 bn
By the time the Tokyo games are done they are expected to have cost 20..
Vancouver on the other hand was one of the least expensive in recent times and also had some of the smallest cost overruns. Although it is cheaper to host winter than summer

China complaining about "ugly" pictures of their athletes being used, saying western media is "ideologically biased" for using these photos.
Anyone who has lifted weights knows - there's no way your face looks good when doing it. So they are calling their own athletes "ugly" despite them winning gold medals for their country.  | |

Would their propaganda machine just want their athletes to win as many Olympic medals, especially gold medals, in order to make their country look good?
Who really cares what how attractive their athletes look? This is amateur sport competition at the international level, not the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue or a beauty pageant!

Gross country continues to be gross?
Man the woman’s cycling race was crazy, the champ from Netherlands didn’t know there was anyone in front of her as they can’t use radios in the Olympics so she went buck to pull away from the peloton in the last km or so but the Austrian had already crossed the line, very entertaining

Apparently other cyclists in the peloton knew but didn’t say anything lol. Others are saying that this is like the best cyclist on earth being beat by a part time amateur. This is why I watch the Olympics… to see these incredible stories take place.

The mens triathlon was beast. I knew it was grueling but just found out the runners pace around 30 minutes for the final 10k run, AFTER the swim and the bike rice. Can barely keep a 30 minute pace for 5 k alone. Truly astounding what they're able to do. Finish was pretty good too with the lone pull-away.

But the way that Van Vleuven or whatever her name is celebrated it sure seemed like she thought she had won

They are so concerned about how they are perceived by the rest of the world, yet they fail time and time again. No respect.
