Crazy to think that Michael Phelps’ record in the fly might be broken already.
What is very remarkable is the 14 year old from Canada, Summer Mcintosh, she hasn't won a medal but has been competing at the highest level and finished 4th against Ledecky and Titmus, I think she also competed against Titmus or Ledecky in the 200 freestyle semifinals and has a chance to get in the final in the 800 meters again against Titmus and Ledecky. To be already this good at that age is comparable to what Ledecky did in London.Lets goooo!!!!!
A high school kid from Alaska just won Olympic gold in Women’s 100m breaststroke!!!
Oh I’ve noticed. I’m super impressed with the teenagers performances this year.What is very remarkable is the 14 year old from Canada, Summer Mcintosh, she hasn't won a medal but has been competing at the highest level and finished 4th against Ledecky and Titmus, I think she also competed against Titmus or Ledecky in the 200 freestyle semifinals and has a chance to get in the final in the 800 meters again against Titmus and Ledecky.

You mean by the teen from Hungary? He looked very comfortable on the semis and he has already taken a world record from him so yeah, it looks very likely he's going to break the Olympic record on the finals. I don't know if Chad le Clos made it to the finals but if he manages to swim next to him that is going to help him as Le Clos starts going all out on the first 100 meters so if Kristof manages to stay near him the first 100 he's going to be on pace to break the record.Crazy to think that Michael Phelps’ record in the fly might be broken already.
Congratulations, I see she took gold! Great achievement for her and your countryBermuda - Flora Duffy is our big hope
They should try to attract better competitors then, not just can the whole thing if you ask me.Skateboarding was a thing when I was young but it so isn't an Olympic sport. I don't mind the BMX stuff as much and snowboarding is a great winter Olympic sport. But what little of the Olympic skateboarding has been embarrassingly bad.
Women's tennis is so unpredictable.Osaka looking shaky in the tennis. Down a couple service breaks in the first set to Vondrousova from the Czech Republic. Lost the first set 6-1. Lost the match in straight sets. Tsisipas gets revenge over Tiafoe on the men's side.
Yeah the other girl played a great match though and Osaka made a lot of unforced errors. No one like Serena who's seperated themselves from the pack though so there will be a lot of competitive matches. Some of the womens boxing has been enjoyable to watch too. Action packed.Women's tennis is so unpredictable.
Given Osaka's recent words/actions, she strikes me as someone that needs to be in a very specific headspace to excel.Women's tennis is so unpredictable.
Pretty incredible, how often does that happen at the Olympics?Switzerland casually goes for gold, silver and bronze in the women's MTB race
Can't say I follow women mountainbiking so I don't have a clue. It's big in Switzerland though for sure, Mathias Flückiger and Nino Schurter have been in the top 5 of the world for the last half decade or so.Pretty incredible, how often does that happen at the Olympics?
I think it's one of those sports where you need to be on the front foot. You try and back off to create space and you're just giving them more room to come and hit you.Could she not have just backed off for 3 secs? Easy win then surely.

It's mad isnt it? that's 3 GB athletes that have lost a medal now in the closing 10 seconds.Pretty incredible, how often does that happen at the Olympics?
Getting closer now. tie game, 21-21USA battering us at Rugby 7s
Yeah great comeback wow. Not sure what those coaches said at half time but it worked a charm.What a comeback from the British Rugby 7s!
Fiji v Australia should be tasty. Fiji started slowly in the group but won all their games including a dismantling of GB. Wouldn’t count them out.If it goes as expected, it will be a SA v NZ final. But would like GBP to cause an upset in that semi final. Very possible.
Aren't Fiji supposed to be favourites? Beat the trollies off us at any rate.If it goes as expected, it will be a SA v NZ final. But would like GBP to cause an upset in that semi final. Very possible.
