Katie Ledecky is racing at 2.20 in the 800m freestyle. I'll stay up to watch that, she's amazing and I'm guessing we'll get to see a WR

I was watching BBC4 last night. The suggestion by a Rio based reporter was that basically Brazil loves football and winning. The rest of it doesn't really rate much of a response. The idea of the global event where people will go to watch a different sport just for the novelty just hasn't caught the imagination.it makes no sense.
Although Brazil is not yet 1st world, there are plenty of monied people in Rio and Sao Paulo, certainly enough to attend a sports event. And I thought Brazil loved live sport.
Looks like the zika scare has put off most international tourists, even though that seems unfounded as the athletes have turned up!
A real shame and also ultimately a disastrous decision by the IOC.
No, bring on 2020!100m butterfly starting.
Phelps looking calm . His last ever individual race at an Olympics.
What a terrible moustache.Schooling wins
3 way tie for second! There have been three or four different ties these games. I thought he was way less common then that
Beat Phelps tonight, met him as an admirer eight years ago:

She's destroying the field.Ledecky up next; could make history right now
Shes destroying it right now.Ledecky up next; could make history right now
She'll just run out of laps.Is she going to be able to lap/pass the 8th place swimmer? This is crazy dominance
Platinum medals or something like that for WR's would be kinda cool.Should give Carlin gold and make up some new medal for Ledecky.
Ledecky won in 8:04,second place in 8:16...amazing.Should give Carlin gold and make up some new medal for Ledecky.
Yeah but can she successfully balance a pringle on that space between her nose and mouth and make it look like a moustache? Didn't think so.She beat second by 12 seconds, which is more then the time between 2nd and 8th
