What happened to the French user Ben? I've become so used to it that I'm still expecting him to be asking who won Olympic quotas in the different events

No, and she definitely isn't arrogant. Our speed skaters definitely aren't, the cyclists absolutely neither, same thing for Ligtlee and Bouwmeester who won gold in Rio  

 

It's logical that she's mad as hell, when you have a very serious chance to win Olympic gold but lose it in a race in which you feel you didn't run in the way you can.

Sadly not this time ... but great to see that Castlin wins the first athletics medal for India.

She is not Indian origin. I don't think she has any connection to India except the fact that she likes wearing Bindi (that thing between her eyes)

Our nation is hyping up the bromance between the two. I thought it was funny, they almost burst out laughing in the middle of the race while all of the other guys were dying to cross the line and then Bolt is like "lol, not this time." It even looked like he slowed down just a bit just so he can barely beat him.

American fans probably cant believe how dominant their athletes are ... of course it helps when you are the only big nation that hasnt adapt to a different time zone, not to mention the fact that it might help when your biggest TV channel dictates the start times. At least we can be sure that the US will win much less medals in 2020.

Really? because in london we got 110 medals and 46 gold, amount of gold that we wont get to this time, plus a very nice amount in beijing.

 

And don't worry, NBC will again make them move the swimming finals to the morning just like in beijing
