Rio Olympics - non-golf discussion thread

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?

I googled it - Team Handball. Who knew?

The Romanian girls are kinda hot, but the Brazilian girls seem to be badasses at this game.

Hey, that sport is for wankers and weak wristed individuals...

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?
