X S Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Ryan Lochte and a few US swimmers were robbed in Rio. A few criminals posed as police officers and pulled them over in a taxi. Lochte said they put a gun to his head and took his wallet. Wow, not even an Olympic medalist is safe in Rio. http://www.espn.com/olympics/swimming/story/_/id/17299461/usoc-confirms-ryan-lochte-three-other-us-swimmers-robbed-rio Tokyo is sure going to be a huge step up in terms of security in four years. You practically can't even cross the street in Japan without getting arrested. darthYENIK 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/838396-olympics-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-1069015179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitterdoomer Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Same thing happens if Los Angeles hosted the Olympics in 2024. Well, Tokyo is a safest city and it had no problem with security because you can see a lot of people walking at night before 12 AM.

Or that it would be safe like Tokyo. Because if it's the former, then you are very much wrong. GTAV is not a real life representation of Los Angeles. LA is a very safe city these days.

GTA3Rockstar Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Yea, some said she was leaning forward like they all do and lost her balance. Yea, okay. I looked at the all time leader in medals, USA has more than 2, 3 and 4th place total, combined! And the USSR have only competed in 9 olympiads, not since 1988 and are still in second. lol Edited August 16, 2016 by GTA3Rockstar Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/838396-olympics-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-1069018321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthYENIK Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Walsh Jennings/Ross lost yesterday. It was Kerri Walsh Jennings' first loss in her Olympic career. It sucks, but it would be a shame if a Brazillian team didn't make the gold medal match.

X S Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 it's not against the rules And neither is flopping in basketball, or stealing signs in baseball, but you don't see that being lauded. Allyson Felix used her strength and legs to cross that finish line. Whereas, Miller had to dive a the full length of her body just to make up for the half-step she was behind. You don't dive unless you know you're behind, and that's why Felix didn't need to do so, not because "she didn't want it as much". It's where the torso crosses the finish line, and the computer renderings are evidence of that. That's ok, though. Miller can go home knowing she won the gold spilling spaghetti all over the track. Great honor. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/838396-olympics-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-1069021622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Nice Person Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) It shouldn't of been counted coming from a track runner, The torso should count in my opinion because some people just their head out also, which I find dumb. I'm sad Walsh Jennings lost, been a weak couple of days for the US, and now the Rio Police are saying Lochte's story is inaccurate.

Just as long as we don't see people diving as a new thing anytime soon. whatever, though. How about this Lochte story???

When they lunge, they usually fall after crossing the finish line if they've lost their balance. whatever, though. How about this Lochte story???

LOL I think it's pretty clear by now, Lochte had sex with a transvestite and is trying to cover it up. A warning for the first, $5k fine for the second, $10k for the third. They need to add a foul to it with a three throw and then the ball. That will stop them more Eh, it's touchy but can't really knock her for it. If Felix lunged forward more, she would've had her torso cross first and obtain the gold (judging from the picture above) Now apparently his story was fabricated, and a video shows he tore down a gas station's bathroom door and fighting a security guard.. lol ?

Sir Michael Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Really bad Olympics for Fenix, the relay team dropped the baton on a handoff. They're going to rerun tonight though, but have to beat China's 42.70 time to qualify for finals. The U.S men's team killed their heat though. They'll be going to the finals. E: Kerron Clement, a U.S sprinter, just got Gold in the 400 hurdles. It was pretty close at the end.

darthYENIK Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 It feels fishy. The footage shows no wrong doing by the Americans, all we see is them being told to get out of the cab with their hands up. The attendants at the gas station look like they are paying close attention to the swimmers, but is that because they did something wrong and are telling them to leave, or they recognize these people who have been on TV recently, or because they are in on this alleged robbery? Where are these security guards if that's all they were? Why would the swimmers claim they were robbed? It only shined a spotlight on their supposed vandalism if it was a lie. To me, with the evidence shown, I believe the swimmers. They have nothing to gain by telling people they were robbed. The Rio police or whoever is saying they're lying has their reputation on the line. I could be wrong. Just my very uneducated opinion on the matter.

Kiffster Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Isn't Lochte the only one still saying that they were robbed though? I haven't been following this story really, but from what I've read the other 3 swimmers (and the US olympic committee for that matter) already admitted that Lochte fabricated the whole story. Anyway, anyone else now a handball fan? I've never really watched handball before, but now I catch it whenever I can. The women's QF match between Spain and France was great stuff. Also, 9 medals for SA so far, including the first ever African medal in javelin. Still only one gold, but I'm sure that'll change on Saturday with the uh.. women's.. 800m final. I feel like SA could've won another gold in the men's triathlon IF they ran for a couple more laps. Richard Murray was on fire. Brilliant run by him to finish in 4th place.
