Firs time since 1908 two different Brits have won gold medals in Swimming and also first time since 1908 two British Men have medaled in the same event. A great result.

Unlike the Gymnastics yesterday the BBC pundits really dislike the Russian swimmers and did not approve of the Backstroke result.

Plenty to come.

If his improvement translates to the 100 free ...

He actually isn't that tall, but in the water his arms look as if they are 2 m long.

The depth in the battle for the blue cap is astounding as always.

Not a wise decision from Hosszú, she withdrew from 200 fly, everyone qualifies. I think she may have had a better chance to win a medal in 200 fly than in 200IM. And by that I mean better than nothing because she's clearly not winning a medal in 200IM.

GB focusing on the 4 x 200m relay rather than individual events. That is an interesting but risky decision.

Given that GB is maybe the top favorite in the men's 4x200, that is not a bad decision. It would be much more harder in the individual.
