    I get tired of gymnastics announcing at times. The judging is nit picky enough but every routine is just these two commenting on every little mistake vs the absurdity of skill and power these guys are showing.

    Walked into that one. Seemed like he hung back a bit too long though that 100 pace from the Korean was too fas. He was wise to not try and match but couldn’t match the Brits close as a 400 guy it seemed

    Probably a dumb question, how much can one see in a swim race? When I swim in usually just focused on not drowning

    A bit of those around you, underwaters, breathing etc. Breaststroke it's fairly easy to see your neighboring lanes.
