Old enough to remember the London Olympics....yeah, I think apart from @Olympian1010 we all are

Here they just said false start was confirmed as the reason.

She would indeed have taken gold if she was 20 seconds slower than her best, but only by 0,41 seconds

Sarah Köhler and Wang Jianjiahe.

Well yeah, 'Sun Yang' means 'classless' in Chinese, so..

The salt, the salt!

Great, without Ledecky the 1500 could have been interesting....but Quadarella says no

Great, also missed Ledecky withdrawing because of illness. That's the kind of thing with which one can get a lot of money when knowing it early

Wow, not much worse than one of the most blatant cheaters in swimming history getting gold (not exactly winning gold) because someone else got DQ'ed Although I'm sure the Chinese are happy

Horton would have drowned him...

Horton would have drowned him...

Heatwave alarm! Every single model predicts the Dutch heat record (38,7 degrees measured in 1944) to be broken tomorrow or Thursday, possibly shattered. Every model is going for at least 38 degrees, but the potential maximum temperature is at 40-41 or even 42. That would be absolutely insane and I doubt that will happen, but the record is being under threat of not making it's 75 year anniversary by a month or so

Everyone says the Olympic Village is full of....let's say, obscure behaviour Have you noticed anything?

Hello Wikipedia

Hosszu won, Ye and Pickrem behind her

"Rikako Ikee, never give up" (plus a few hearts) on the six hands of the women's 100m fly medalists

Yeah but the commentator was talking about individual events, where both Toussaint and Kamminga finished 13th and 'missed a ticket by one position'. I guess it's a Dutch NOC thing then

What's with top-12 going to the Olympics?

@Olympian1010 better not watch the skateboarding though

Nicholas Santos takes bronze and with 39 is the oldest WCH medalist ever

The 50m fly, arguably my favourite event

Run-off for 5th place in the Marathon des Sables.

What's happening? Professor Johan Kenkhuis is explaining how to breath during swimming
