They're apparently playing orchestral video game music for the parade of nations. Just realised that when the Netherlands entered to the Star Light Zone music from Sonic 1.

Pictogram show might be one of the coolest little routines I've seen at an Olympics

Already some golds for nations that rarely get them, with Ecuador (cycling road race) and Kosovo (judo) winning only their second golds ever in Olympic competition today.

We end Day 1 with China leading on both gold medal count and total medal count (3-0-1). 28 nations are already on the board, yet that doesnβt include traditional heavyweights like the United States, Great Britain, Australia or Germany. That should be rectified tomorrow once we have our first medal races in swimming.

Ok, some help here. I'm watching the Olympics on USA Network right now (approximately 10:40AM EDT) and there's is a game going right now between Spain and Germany in a sport I have never seen before. It looks like a weird combo of soccer, lacrosse and and basketball. Does anybody know what this sport is?

I've always associated "handball" with a type of outdoor racquetball I see kids play in the park where they use their hands to hit the ball instead of a racquet.

It's more so Olympic Handball since it really isn't a big thing in the U.S. compared to the one we know with people hitting a ball against the wall with their hand or a raquet

I'm having a horrible time browsing channels to find stuff at the moment. Comcasts menus are complete garbage. I'm watching cycling right now, and its pretty exciting. But I wanted to watch the equestrian you guys are "making fun of"!
