orangeman 1,323 Posted August 11, 2016 #451 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Haha, I don't think Byron McDonald (our commentator) realized he was still on air. "That Chinese swimmer went out like a rocket and sank like a pig. Thanks for that!" EDIT: Sorry, Byron, not Brian.

And holy moly, Oleksiak might have gotten another medal in the 200m free if she would have raced it. But I'm certainly not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,562 Posted August 11, 2016 #456 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well it's been fun, but since it's 05.30am, good night If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

wpwells 3 Posted August 11, 2016 #457 Share Posted August 11, 2016 On August 8, 2016 at 04:31, dcro said: Not to be disrespectful to Yoshida, but how many in women in the World do wrestling comparing to how many men do swimming? To me it's like suggesting that Isinbayeva is the greatest track and field athlete ever because she set so many WRs in an event that only started to exist. Someone like Bolt should be comparable, at least if he wins another gold here. I've been thinking on this some, and I'd throw Kerri Walsh-Jennings into the mix, especially if she can get a fourth gold medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman 1,323 Posted August 11, 2016 #460 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Canada earned 4 swimming medals (in the pool) in the last 4 Olympics. They have 4 so far here in Rio. So my apologies to everyone else for us Canucks gushing all over this forum. We're really just amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
