***DO NOT SPOIL RESULTS OF TAPED EVENTS***

Please keep discussions of typical events (such as table tennis, volleyball, badminton, handball, fencing, etc.) in this thread.

Big events (such as the men's basketball game later today) may have their own thread.

Please do not post results until you see it occur on TV. Once again, do not spoil taped events with results you know ahead of time until after it is televised. Thank you, again.

And GO USA!

Also, you may post a link to the medal count online, but please DO NOT MENTION THE NUMBER OF MEDALS THE LEADING COUNTRIES HAVE IN A REGULAR POST! The reason for this is because if you mention in a post that a certain country has say, 5 medals, then people watch the tape delay of a broadcast of a bronze medal match, and hear that a country only has four and is going for their 5th, it can potentially spoil the match for the viewer. Thank you, again.

i thought all this in the morning was live then during the day is the tape delay.

eta this should be for live commentary and then when everything is done it could be deleted and one for the tape delayed could be made.

Currently on NBC, Men's Volleyball, U.S. vs. Venezuela, U.S. up in the first set.

Currently on CNBC, Women's badminton singles, China vs. Thailand in the third set.

It is, just making sure in case I forget to edit, better to be safe than sorry, or if something is not quite live (like 30 minute delay) which NBC has done in the past.

Sometimes, though, especially around 5-9 am ET, some is live, some not, plus the board shouldn't be too cluttered with Olympic threads, one per day is fine.

If anyone knows, what's the deal with the one guy in volleyball with the different colored jersey than the rest of the team. Not really familiar enough with the sport to know.

He is the Libero, he is not allowed to kill the ball. And generally is the defender/digger and passer.
