Sooky Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Bronze medal in the trap! Beat the Czech guy 13-9. The Brit is only ranked 22nd in the world, so that's a very decent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The Chinese are nailed on for the gold at the diving. None of the other teams are near their quality and technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Those trunks leave little to the imagination. Still not seen a full stadium yet, which is pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 All to play for going into the final round. Except for gold, that's been going to China since the 1st dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Rio de Janeiro must be coming down in football stadiums but they've built a temporary venue for the rugby 7s - well out of town I think they said? - and it's not even half full. Odd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Quick question time Why do the inside volleyball teams have a player, usually a no2, in white as opposed to the usual team colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I saw volleyball live at London 2012 and that confused me too. They're some kind of extra player only allowed to do certain things. Has a special name in Italian or something like that. EDIT: "Libero".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleyball#Libero In 1998 the libero player was introduced internationally.[20] The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from his or her teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height. When the ball is not in play, the libero can replace any back-row player, without prior notice to the officials. This replacement does not count against the substitution limit each team is allowed per set, although the libero may be replaced only by the player whom he or she replaced. The libero may function as a setter only under certain restrictions. If she/he makes an overhand set, she/he must be standing behind (and not stepping on) the 3-meter line; otherwise, the ball cannot be attacked above the net in front of the 3-meter line. An underhand pass is allowed from any part of the court. The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team. There is also a libero tracking sheet, where the referees or officiating team must keep track of whom the libero subs in and out for. There may only be one libero per set (game), although there may be a different libero in the beginning of any new set (game). Furthermore, a libero is not allowed to serve, according to international rules, with the exception of the NCAA women's volleyball games, where a 2004 rule change allows the libero to serve, but only in a specific rotation. That is, the libero can only serve for one person, not for all of the people for whom she goes in. That rule change was also applied to high school and junior high play soon after.

HibeeJibee Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Football season started during our Commonwealth Games, didn't stop them using all 3 Glasgow stadiums. I'm sure a club could be away for 2 weeks. Don't some use the Maracana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
