Aaron Peirsol is gonna watch tomorrow's final with some tension

But what is the connection? "Almost 18 years after the tragic attacks in New York, Ledecky had her own tragedy and lost her title."

Dude, come on. Comparing breaking a random second barrier with the moon landing, for fuck's sake If there's one thing Brits are known for in sports, it's incredible overacting.

MacNeil wtf

Brits, lol.

What the actual fuck? Apart from that being insanely ridiculous, the whole thing of breaking 57 isn't even nearly as historic as breaking 1 minute was.

57.14, meh, boooo, sloooow

Is the 100m breaststroke starting yet? Schedule says 13.02 CET but Dutch NOS is still only talking.

Why is swimming still so behind in terms of graphics? I mean, they always compare split times with the WR (or ER), even in heats, that's senseless generally. Why not compare with the fastest time until then? And why do they never show PB, SB, NR, AR etc in the result lists? In athletics you immediately know if someone broke a PB, in swimming there's no clue and you'd first have to go find their PB on swimrankings or Wiki if you're lucky enough they're there.

Too bad for 'most waterpolo experts' they didn't have a clue about betting then

Bookmakers said 50/50

Wow, NED is being destroyed by ESP

Exactly my point.

Yeah....when someone's blood samples are destroyed like that, it's over, and that has nothing to do with the country.

I feel like tennis (at least the Grand Slams) get some attention everywhere (as in, at least a mention of who won Wimbledon) but I might be wrong

In countries where nobody cares about golf, a good Olympic result might get more attention at first because the Olympics get at least some sort of attention everywhere

Mas will win a stage (or at least come close), mark my words.

Weird stuff going on. Friday somewhere in the Netherlands a body was found (probably, they didn't know/say whether or not it was a body until today) and now apparently they identified it as a 43-year old Albanian male. According to Albanian media, it's the self-proclaimed president of Chameria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chameria No idea that existed. Another news outlet says his body was found in another place this weekend, but there police says it was a Polish man. So it's pretty sure two bodies were found (most likely unconnected to one another) and this Albanian dude is dead, but it's sort of a mystery who's who.

Yeah, can't use this argument in this case

True, I'm sure he has the opportunity somewhere to use the same kind of stuff Sun used. The problem is covering it up as well.

See? Now it's easy.
