women's 200m Back well slower than Europeans and Pan-Pacs...

 

but still, another Chinese Gold (I fear they're gonna sweep the entire program, considering that the Japanese team is not at their best as they focused on last week's Pan-Pacs)...

Why do all English speaking commentators always seem to say Suniyang instead of Sun Yang?

[dcro 10,210]

Meanwhile, one of the commentators is VERY unhappy with Sun Yang "milking" another medal performance.

I guess they have to avoid the "Sun" pronounciation as the single word, so they link both first and family name to give it a different sound...
