Whose expectations? This is what I was talking about with the talking heads being over the top. People who expected him to win everything again this year just have no idea how hard it is. There's a reason nobody has won gold in the same event 3 years in a row.

I agree, that guy shouldn't have said anything and it's unfair for that girl to be accused like this. I'm just saying it's understandable to wonder because of the country she's from. Just better wondering silently though.
If she had a better hairstyle, it would look more normal. I hope she doesn't wear her hair like that normally, haha.
There was some sort of quote from some of the Olympics committee that when asked if they knew if China's drug testing was up to par and he said "I really don't know."
How can they not know?
Pretty sure they aren't commies anymore. Did you miss the whole wall coming down thing?
So we're latching on to excuses now. It's too hard. Um, okay.
If he's supposed to still be the best swimmer in the world, he should still be winning. He's not. If this is the route we're going to take perhaps we shouldn't be treating him like the best swimmer in the world anymore.
This is what I mean when I say her being from China is why people are suspicious. The USOC has very strict doping rules that everyone knows about. Who monitors the Chinese athletes in between Olympic cycles?

It's sarcasm dude.
He probably isn't the best swimmer in the world right now. That was supposed to be Lochte. There aren't really any standout multi-event male swimmers this year, which is good for Phelps and the US.
Seriously how can anyone **** on floor. (referring to the Russians) It's bunch of flips and prancing around.

Jordyn's routine right now is the absolute best way to respond to the terrible deal she got with her exclusion from the all-around.
She just cast a shadow over the entire competition, helped her team, and shined like a star.

lol. Not gonna do anything about it but, just sayin, for her age, a gymnast, and a Russian... not bad.
and I'm only 21 so it's not too bad, yet.
If anyone thought Phelps was going to do in London what he did in Beijing your as high as Phelps. Especially if you saw Anderson Cooper's report on Phelps on 60 minutes before the Olympics. He was I think banned for a year I think and when he did come back he hasn't had the same commitment. Before Beijing he had never missed a practice, and after he came back from his suspension he missed practices on a regular basis. All this is from the AC 60 report.

If I didn't already know the results, it would be hard to believe right now that we didn't win the gold. That was outstanding!
