AR for  Costa in 5th!

I might be more nervous than the McIntosh family themselves.

 

Here we go!

[ChandlerMne 767]

USA with 8th place.

But at least some medal will come in 400 m FS.

Women's 400m freestyle. Right.

Germany's long wait for another Olympic Gold in the pool is over. Last one - Britta Steffen in 2008.

Sadly, German swimming badly misses the inspirational rhetoric of Erich Honecker.

McIntosh - Ledecky - Titimus  How someone could miss a final with this startlist?

Yep, sad that those people have made it to this stadium as well. Such an annoying trend in sports, more and more, all the booing and whistling (outside of the usual suspects in football).

It’s not really the same as the other scenarios TBH, booing China because they have been known to dope (especially in swimming) is completely understandable.

I find it questionable to boo the athletes in this situation, because it's also not the same kind of situation as, say, athletes being caught on an individual basis. Much as I have my doubts about China as a whole here, I do find it somewhat unfair to boo the specific athletes. Just do nothing and stay quiet then.

 

Anyhow, time to enjoy the races, I doubt we'll get to an agreement here
