You must have missed the green pool in Rio.Always love the pool at the Olympics. Looking forward to it.
Was it a great swim? She looked upset and was barely behind the Aussies when she went in. She kept second, and wasn’t able to beat some nobody for first.Great last 20 meters by Simone Manuel to grab 2nd from China in the women's 4x100 free.
She passed the anchor from China. The US was in third place. The Aussie just swam away from the field. The lady from China tried to come back, but Manuel held her off.Was it a great swim?

Judges in this sport often seem to forget the meaning of the word "synchronized"I was watching the synchronized diving. In the 4th round, the divers from China gots 8s when I would have given them 7 or a 6.5.
They were out-of-sync, one landed 3 ft farther away from the board and off to the side. They did not hit the water at the same time. They will win the Gold.
If I can see all if those mistakes on that dive, why can't the judges?
The Australians just had a big miss in the 5th and final round, dropping to 5th place from 3rd. The US gets the Silver, and Great Britain moves up to Bronze.
What are the chances they find in two years that he’s fully doped up? All the swimmers have been clocking slower times because it’s been shown that the pool they’re using swims slower. Only WR so far.Holy **** that record by the chinese.
I know what Marchand is doing is incredible but that WR is the moment of the swimming competition so far, jesus christ

They ban all the Russians, Vasya, but the Chinese who’ve been cheating in swimming for years are somehow allowed to compete.
All of these athletes dope, chinese, russian, american, italian, french or australian.Was he one of the Chinese swimmers who got banned for doping? Taking the Chinese times with a pinch of salt.

Regardless you can see the natural talent where it is, like Marchand or the canadian Summer. It's special.
What the chinese did yesterday is special, even if he tests positive in one week or in a year.
I don't think he was in the list of 23 swimmers that tested positive.
Anyways, I agree it is very hypocritical what they did with Russia, but as I said a few years ago when they "caught" the systematic Russian doping, it was an excuse to hit on Russia for other politic reasons

I'll never forget in the 2016 Olympics some 16 year old Chinese girl that no one had ever heard of showed up to the Olympics and set a bunch of world records with almost literally impossible splits and then a few years later disappeared from the sport.Marchand and the American guy in their pressers both basically said they felt he was doping without actually saying it. I was surprised by that but I think there's been some trash talking by him the last few days over perceived nasty antics from the Aussie/American swimmers so its possible they're just trying to get in his head
