    I never get very excited anymore when the Olympics come on. But I always seem to spend one or two hours watching and enjoying them anyway.
    Anyone watching at this point?

    Was cool to see Phelps and company win the gold in the 4x100.
    Also checked out some beach volleyball and some gymnastics. Also water polo.

    And if something is for a medal, I'll usually check it out.

    Anyway, not bad entertainment at all.

    I'll check out more of the team sports as they start to mean more.

    The graphics during the swimming races make it very entertaining, especially seeing them chase the yellow world record line.

    Yeah...I do like that feature. They were showing a replay of some woman's race...I missed what or who it was but she looked like she was damn near 10 yards ahead of it on her final lap.
    Interesting to see most races staying right on top of it or ahead until the final lap.

    That was Katie Ledecky in the 400M Freestyle. She shattered her own world record.

    That's awesome. I'll have to go back and check it out. I don't follow swimming at all but it's one of the most exciting events at the Olympics imo.

    Pretty close race you have there. Maybe a small chance for the US to get a gold if Bolt falters.

    At the 2015 Worlds it was

    gold..Bolt 9.79
    silver...Gatlin 9.80
    Bromell and DeGrasse tied for the bronze

    As close as it gets.




    White people just don't look like that.

    So it wouldn't be out of the question. But I suppose it would be perceived a huge upset.

    Bolt losing to Gatlin isn't a huge surprise, if he lost to anyone else that would be a huge surprise. The HUGE surprise is Bolt losing the 200m. There that 6-5 stride is just too much.

    That was pretty unreal. She basically finished and turned around and stared down a whole group of world class swimmers as they came in to touch.

    Not worried about that got Cleo. The one to watch other than Phelps is Laszlo Cseh. He's been fast.
