    How many millions has Phelps made on endorsements. Nordictrack probably gave him like 5 mil, pretty great for both parties.

    I got big money on Fraser Pryce +165. I bet it before the odds changed when ShaCarri got suspended.

    These are just the heats, Thompson and Fraser Pryce were not pushing it.

    We really are going to miss out on an epic finals that could have been of Fraser Pryce, Thompson and ShaCarri

    The US's serving has been poop for long stretches. I think I saw a stat a bit ago that they had 15 serve faults to Brazil's 5. Even that seemed a bit generous.

    volleyball seems like it could be a bigger sport. the athleticism required for the game is so impressive.

    South Africa going to the olympics in waterpolo is just mean. They are down 22-1 to a mediocre dutch team

    No different than all these people in the 100 yard dash getting smoked wearing clothes you’d see at your local gym. They are there to represent their country, and party in the Olympic village for two weeks.

    they had to pony up bout 5K each to get slaughtered. Obviously a bunch of gofundmes and similar initiatives covered most of that but some of their players didnt travel because they just couldnt make the finance work

    I know this baseball team beat the collegiate national team twice. However, I’d rather watch the collegiate national team play baseball, I’d at least know who most the players are.

    Omfg we got DQ’d as huge gold favorites in mixed relays in track.

    Watching it live it was super weird. Godwin had to run like an extra 10m I think Irby just legit set up way outside the handoff zone.
