Swimming is my favourite sport to watch along with Ice hockey Diving and Athletics.  I would watch it everyday lol

Maggie MacNeil, World, Olympic and now Commonwealth Champion!

Gold for MacNeil!

Canada beats Australia in the women's 100m fly

It's nice to get the first fourth out of the way.  Now we can just sit back and enjoy the rest.  

I always find it hilarious people want to fix something that isn't broken. And then we end up with Olympic "sports" like break dancing and e-sports (looming) In 2236 world will look like in this Surrogates movie with Bruce Willis. I'm quite certain of that.

Amazing!

We obv need 1500m events for all strokes, along with a 1600m medley.
 
(if any swimming events ought to get the ax it’s the 800m and the mixed medley relay)

I can see people finding swimming a bit repetitive, but I don’t know what races you’ve been watching if you think there’s no action.
 
There are a few events where one person dominates, but it’s not like that’s a phenomenon limited to swimming.
 
I do agree that programs could be reworked to create more difference between events. 

Something I do find annoying about swimming in general is the pacing of the finals sessions. Those medal ceremonies in between events really kill the momentum and hype of the session.

Easy gold for McIntosh in the women's 400m IM

Strange, I personally never had that feeling, why do you think that ? Users are just joking about participation of the likes of or and so, but I think otherwise the general view for this event is fine, even for me, I usually follow it if I have time + I envy you the games, I would really love to have something like the pan-slavic games here, but will never happen

I know people don't like the Commonwealth Games very much on this site and tbh justifiably so, but I must admit I'm really looking forward to this

Luckily it is the 21st century in which watching on demand is way easier than before. However, combining work and my wish to watch the “morning” sessions makes it a bit harder.
 
I also don’t really watch the morning sessions for the swimming these days, which I did when I was back in University. Growing old and being responsible, I bet. It also didn’t help that Dutch TV wasn’t showing them, although I could have used the EBU. Maybe that was the reason I rarely saw the Spanish flag these days..

Sure. But I meant - it will be hard to watch the most interesting athletics finals LIVE.
 
It is not so simple for me anymore to wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. to watch sports live like I did in the university times. Lots of work during the day… need to have some rest first.

Ladies and gentlemen, and all others:  A star is born.
 
It's Summer in 

New junior world record for McIntosh as she wins her fourth medal, second gold

And now time for the youth to shine (hopefully). Let's go Summer!

These musicians must be so sick of playing the same song over and over again . Also I can't believe they brought out a drum kit only for the drummer to do just play the tom drum every couple of bars.

I really wanted Sun Yang's WR to go. Shame it didn't

You are absolutely disgusted at everything and I can only wonder how sorry of a life you're living to be in a constant state of disgust and unhappiness. 
 
Cheers, here's to hoping she wins more medals to annoy you in the future. 

And she's a world champion! 
 
So happy to have her back, even if it's only till the next Olympics.

Gold for in women's 50m breast

Gold for Meilutyte! That put a smile on my face
