A great final, really. I'm surprised with Paltrinieri not even making the podium. I thought he had it in the bag, but nope.

He has been sick though, to be fair (mono, if I'm not mistaken).

Top 8 times this year of athletes who will compete at the Olympics (to the best of my knowledge):   In events, where Someone ranked in the top 8 might not compete, I also included the 9th ra

So only 3 European countries win gold medals in the swimming pool, :GBR  :ROC  :HUN This might be a new negative record. 

The 'bright' side though is that USA is much less dominant than four years ago.

Bruno is so happy! He's been trying to get an Olympic medal for 10 years. He did everything he could for this medal. I can't believe he got it!

Sadly another expected gold for Finke. This guy has one of the most absurd progressions i have ever seen. From complete nobody to dominating Wellbrock/Romanchuk/Paltrinieri, the athletes who dominated men's distance freestyle for years, within a year. If i ever hear another american crying about russian doping again, i will cause a massacre. The US is the dirtiest country of them all, yet their fans somehow find a way to be stupid enough to think that they are the victim.

Non-gold medals like this are so much better than gold medals like Dressel's.

The final sprints from this guy lol. :d 

Lol is the correct reaction. Wellbrock/Paltrinieri/Romanchuk dominated men's distance freestyle for the whole olympiad and then this nobody comes around and makes them look like amateurs. He is probably dirty enough to glow in the dark.

The new events helped the :USA , they will win 12, same as Beijing. They would have 10 without men's 800 free and women's 1500 free.

Obviously the main reason is the fact that the US forced morning finals on everyone else. Not easy to be at your best when you have to do it at 3 AM. I am sure that we will see a differet picture in 2024.

      Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony.

      That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.

      option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)

      Are we supposed to take Daly's word for it or is this just public posturing to try and shame the Milan organizers (which they certainly deserve for all the delays) in order to threaten NHL participation?

      Well that was a disappointing opening ceremony. Not to mention the boss is late too...   Anyway this is another victim of bureaucracy, the initial creative director quit in October and we get this kind of show.   Original plan: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17EVayTpig/

      Japan missed their last shot with hammer in the 10th last night against the Philippines for them to stay alive.  USA's remaining 2 games are against Philippines and Netherlands, so they have a tough road ahead, although they've already beaten Japan, so that helps for tiebreaker purposes.

      They have already beaten Japan, so a win would them in a strong place.
