I think the best part of watching Bolt race is seeing him win from 10 different angles in the replays. That guy is so fast its rediculous: Also, at the Beijing Olympics he was the first, and only, person ever to break an 100m record with his shoelace untied.

He would have run faster if there had been some white runners behind him.

So, non-Americans, how do you feel about the statements and behavior made by Lilly King about her competitor/rival Yulia Efimova? Do you think that they're fair? Justified? I want to hear feedback on how you guys feel about this.

I want to hear feedback on how you guys feel about this. Had she only called out the Russian, I would maybe disagree, since there has been a lot of generalisation about Russian competitors. But, Efimova has a history of doping, and she called out gatlin too, quite rightly. Any with a history of doping will, and should, face suspicion. Having said that, I was against a blanket ban on Russian athletes. Once you start banning clean athletes because they "might" have been involved, you're entering one hell of a minefield. Plus, it seemed more political than anything else...

Yay, unexpected gold on pole vault! I've heard that you guys are getting pretty upset down there over the lack of progress in getting any medals. Didn't your sports minister say something about that? And now you guys are starting to get frustrated at the lack of returns?

And now you guys are starting to get frustrated at the lack of returns? We were expecting a better performance on individual sports (especially judo and swimming) because of the huge amounts of money that the government poured since the start of the decade but the real strength of Brazil is on team sports (like soccer, volleyball and handball). The goal of the brazilian olympic committee is finish the games on the Top 10 of the medal table and right now I think this is achievable.

A bunch of abandoned or poorly used sporting venues, it's already happening with the WC stadiums built in cities without any football tradition like Cuiabá and Manaus. Economically I don't think it'll have much impact since we already are in a huge economic recession and the majority of those venues were built in conjunction with the private sector, which will administrate it on behalf of the government after the end of the Olympic Games.

I've been amazed by some of the judges decisions in boxing. Once again the sport is let down by judges who can score a fight well. Best case you can call it incompetence, worst case is that the judges have been compromised. This seems to be a recurring theme in Olympiads, officials who spend the whole time licking windows. This is why I prefer the objective sports, like rifle/pistol shooting and archery. Very little, if any, room for judges to fuck things up. And it happened again... The heavey weight final between a Russian and kazakh. It was a really exciting fight which the Kazakh was winning. The Russian gets shook bad but then is given a rediculous amount of time in the final round. The Kazakh still dominates the final round and by all accounts won the fight (would have been the first ever Kazakh to get gold in the heavyweight division). But they gave it to the russian...Que the boos from the crowd, the commentators etc. A great fight ruined by garbage judges.

The goal of the brazilian olympic committee is finish the games on the Top 10 of the medal table and right now I think this is achievable. I agree, and that goal is still eminently achievable for the time being; you're 16th in the medal counts last time I checked, so I think you really can push into the top ten, especially as the team sports start to have their finals. I really do hope you guys succeed in this! I love Brazil, and I don't think I've ever met a Brazilian I didn't think was better at me at enjoying life and partying and having a good time!

Saw an interesting featurette on CBC's Olympic coverage. They got Andre DeGrasse (100m bronze medallist) to run the 100m under the same conditions that Jesse Owens did in (I think?) 1936: dirt track, no starting blocks, no fancy shoes. It was to show how part of the reason why people have gotten faster is because of technology for things like shoes and track surface, very interesting to see. DeGrasse did not match or beat Owens' time.

Bolt is simply ridiculous, he's an alien I'm pretty sure. His last 200 metre heat was like a stroll in the park.

It was to show how part of the reason why people have gotten faster is because of technology for things like shoes and track surface, very interesting to see. DeGrasse did not match or beat Owens' time. Ahh, I saw one of those segments last week during the swimming! They had Paul Beidermann (who set the WR in one of those now-banned fully bodysuits) try to outswim Mark Spitz's 1972 record, and had him wear that dazzling star spangled Speedo. To Beidermann's credit, they were fairly even for the first 150m, but ultimately came in less than a second slower than Spitz's time. In an extra video on the CBC website, they found that in the appropriately-named X-glide bodysuit Beidermann was able to get 4 additional meters of distance at the start of a swim just by passive gliding. It's no wonder those things were banned. Just one more reason I've been really enjoying CBC's coverage this year. WAY better and more informative than CTV.

Let's talk about juicy olympic sex scandals! The Brazilian synchronized diving team is breaking up as one of the team members locked the other one out of their shared hotel room to have sex with a canoeist. Apparently, she was told to find somewhere else to sleep for the night. This was the night before their event. lol, They placed 10th the next day. Who would trash their chances at winning for a canoeist? www.complex.com/sports/2016/08/brazil-synchronized-diving-team-breaks-rio-olympics-sex-scandal

Another day, another win: My money would be on Russia beating Angola for the second spot in the semi finals. They're undefeated so far, so should be an interesting match.

Yeah, besides a few insane journalists over here in Sweden I've yet to encounter more than a handful of people that were crazy enough to think we'd make it past Norway.
