If that wasn't a perfect score then there will never be another one. It obviously didn't matter but I couldn't believe there were deductions found in that. Terrifically done.

Love how the only reason she was on that team was to do exactly that and she did it.

[Magnetic Curses]

that was the sickest thing i've ever seen in gymnastics.

Admittedly I don't watch a ton of gymnastics, but I can't believe how incredible that landing looks. Inhuman.

They were all great until they started talking about watching the Athens games when they were 8.

Heh. I like how they talk about how they've worked their whole lives for this.

 

 

You're 16.

I get what youre saying, but they've probably sacrificed a normal childhood to train for this. It probably felt like all their lives. The fact it hasn't been 30 years doesnt really make it less significant to me.

I guess some people are too busy with important things to simply enjoy sports.

Their theory that "atheist nations will underperform" is air tight. Just look at which country leads the medal count.

 

OOOHHHHHH........

Their entry on the US women's soccer team is comical. The coach is lambasted in a footnote, but no mention of Megan Rapinoe. :-k

That's not a real thing. Is it?

[jersey cubs fan]

It seems like a made up sport used in some period piece oscar bait movie

[Magnetic Curses]

nathan adrian is the fastest swimmer on earth. first time an american has done it since popov started bitchslapping everyone.

[Andy]

Not that training a horse to do dressage is a picnic, but it has to be somewhat insulting to gymnasts, swimmers and the like who basically have no life while training, doesn't it?

The gymnastic/swimming/track & field golds are more meaningful though, IMO.

I thought the winner of the 50 usually took that title not the winner of the 100?

Lochte blew it in the last 50 again.

In the pool, Nathan Adrian of the United States edged out Australia's James Magnussen by the smallest possible margin, 0.01 seconds, to win the 100 metres freestyle and the unofficial title of world's fastest swimmer.

The world’s best convened to contend for the fastest swimmer in the world title in the 100m freestyle race

i remember it as always being referred to as that. it's definitely swimming's heavyweight event.

[Guest]

Interesting, thanks. I always assumed it was the 50 in the same way that it's the 100 meters in track (shortest distance).
