I am watching Romania vs Brazil in a sport that looks like indoor hand soccer. They are moving up and down a short indoor soccer court by running (while dribbling a small ball) and then attempting to throw the ball into a netted goal past a goalie. WTF is this?

Saw some of this the other day. Cool game. This is what I like about the Olympics. I won't watch very much basketball or soccer because I can see that any time. However, I dig watching some of the other sports you never see like team handball, table tennis, etc.

Yeah, agree. The volleyball is always top notch also.

I saw the synchronized diving and thought to myself "who makes up these bull$hit sports?".

And I heard a kayaker got knocked out of the race when they/he/she hit an underwater couch....any truth to that?

I heard this as well...doesn't surprise me at all given the conditions of the water in that hole.

I saw that as well, but so far there hasn't been any confirmation.

was it an underwater couch or a regular couch that happened to be underwater? If it is the former, then WTF is an underwater couch?

I think I see the couch ...
