Kinda mad that I never watched Ennis' last event at the London Olympics and seen her win the gold in front of the home crowd. I was probably out drinking that night. I'll find it later. Must've been awesome to see.

Ennis and Mo Farah winning gold at home were some of the highlights of London

Y'all say that girl drop in the 10,000.. Lay there for a bit.. And then get up and start running again?

Before Simone Manuel's race last night, I was already wondering how rare it was to see a black male swimmer. I would see a couple on the american team.

I did see my dude from Ethiopia who was reppin for us guys with dad bods.

People still running laps while the medalists are celebrating. I'd probably just stop and run to the concession stand.

I probably would think about it but keep going as a sense of pride for myself and my country.

Watching this women's trampoline and it sucks for Charlotte Drury who's Mckayla Maroney and Kyla Ross childhood gymnast friend.  She couldn't make the US team for gymnastics so switched to Trampoline and won world title in 2014 and is the US best in Trampoline but hurt before Rio http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/oly...y-top-us-trampoline-athlete-after-broken-foot

Just saw the goal. That pass was nasty

Nice seeing the bae Jessica Ennis again.

Didn't she have a kid?

Not sure. Didn't hear the commentators mention it. If she did then her abs are still very impressive.

She had a son in July '14. I'm sure it was planned so she had time to get back in shape for the Olympics.

I thought she had finished, only to get up and start running again.

Dunn is so good. She runs circles around people.

This girl finished .03 ahead of kelsi worrell in the 100 fly semi finals for the 8th and final spot for the finals.. Worrell might have had a chance at a medal (she was the fastest American at trials):
