Nobody sees the silver for Kamminga as rough though, this was exactly as expected: Kamminga starting like a madman (the best way for him to race) and Stubblety-Cook finishing way faster than anyone else. Considering how close this race was, any medal would have been a success and unlike....

American NBC taking time to show ANOTHER fluff piece of Caeleb Dressel

 

They just can't show the swimmers presentation or it could be like first day of finals, they did not showed the women's 100m butterfly semifinal because they were focusing celebrating the gold at the 400 IM

Dutch NOS generally likes to go with analysing every Dutch race so long that they're back just in time for the next non-Dutch final (if they even show that)  

 

Because the regular viewer here apparently wants the STORY instead of live sports.

I really don't think the regular viewer is doing anything else but sleeping at the moment.

Rylov is going to take double gold, mark my words

Rowdy Gaines, us commentator for NBC is looking more cautious with his commentary LOL, now he is saying he doesn't want to jinx Murphy but he 'expects him to do well' 

 

He has slow down after the Ledecky losses and the overall slow american start so I think now he learned his lesson to tune down his usual american cheerleading

Femke Heemskerk, who is always shining in relays with sub-52's, finally with her first individual final after being in/near the top for 10+ years

Another 4th place. At least this wasn't close, so it doesn't hurt as much.
