2016 Rio Summer Olympics

[JP4CY]

I understand he is "swimmer old" but why would he not give it a shot in 2020? I mean he's still winning gold....

So, Michael Phelps is good

Le Clos gets nothing!

Expended too much energy being a ****.

Couldn't have finished better than this...Phelps gets his 20th gold and Le Clos doesn't even medal after his dbag display over the past 24 hours. Love it.

I think it has to do with the time commitment to train for the Olympics. While he may still do it, he may want to stop and raise his child.

Our National Anthem is easily the best in the world.

yeah I just feel like trying to intimidate Phelps is maybe not the best use of time.

In the background blurb on Le Clos before the race, Le Clos said "well, he can shut up now" after winning his second (I think?) World Championship in 2013. He was referring to Phelps. Shortly thereafter, Phelps decided to "un-retire".
'Spose Le Clos regrets that now?

Yup. It's to the tune of an old British drinking song. Clearly the best.

I don't know about that. Clearly subjective though. I'm a musician and have played the Start Spangled Banner at least 500 times and I like it, but I can't honestly say I've heard more than 20 or so other anthems. Canada's is very nice and much easier to sing, Germany's was written by Haydn. La Marseillaise is very nice too. Although it sounds strange to our Western ears, with unusual harmonies and chord progressions I really like Japan's too.

Well I did root for the CCCP once against the Hawkeyes

That Hosszu lady's husband looks just like Tom Hardy.

You communist bastard.

He doesn't even know the name of it, so his opinion is obviously invalid

 

[carvers4math]

That second guy on the 200 free relay was damn fast.

Phelps made me nervous with the cap mishap.

Simone Biles is a freak of nature.

Can't wait to watch Laurie do her floor routine.
