LBSS:
This is a cool series of animated infographics by the NYT on what separates some of of the top US athletes: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/05/sports/olympics-triple-jumper-christian-taylor.html?module=Article&region=footer&action=Click&pgtype=Multimedia

LBSS:
judo is so intense. watching the 56kg men and 66kg women this morning, makes me want to try it.

seifullaah73:
It looks very hard to win at judo, you try a grab the other guys (robe) dont know wat they call it, but they have to grab and try to put them on the floor but they just struggle out of it so harder to grab and throw them.
I was watching the mens one also

I remember ages ago Harvey M (old troll/dumbass kid) said volleyball was the most popular Olympic sport and got howled down. Maybe he was right :huh:
