Great run by Fisher, was well positioned through the race and didn't force himself to match the kick that happened at 600m left. Really frustrated that no one really took control of the race until that late. That played well into Ingebritsen's hands

This Olympics really has inspired me to take Skyrizi.

Not because I need it medically but just for the good times.

Feel bad for Mike Tirico having to hype up the break dancing. A little piece of him dies each time.

Barsham's run up to the high jump is the most graceful thing I've ever seen a human do.

Down to 2 in the men's high jump.

McEwen (USA) and Kerr (NZL), with the bar at 2.38m.

Barshim (QAT) had two misses at 2.36, and opted to use his final chance at 2.38 but didn't clear it.

US record, African record and European record in same race and a 16yo high school kid was part of US record, so cool.
