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):

First doping case of the Olympics, no?

@itsaboutthattime You see Sun Yang couldn't even break under 15 in the 1500m preliminary heat.  Won't even be in final to defend title

 

[krispacinla]

For some reason, I think Sun is doping. Dude looks like a drug line stepper. Just my feeling.

[atransta]

Lloyd almost did it again

 

[atransta]

USA got bailed out

 

[Armada]

I gotta see those goals again I don't think either where offside.

Ahh I thought they called that one offside too thought I heard the announcer say that. Lloyd did foul her though 

 

[8pm at msg]

I need to see a replay but I think Sweden's goal was legit

 

[IATT]

Really is just a different event..

Like in the 100 free, you'll get guys who swim the 50 and then guys who swim the 200.. Guys will usually fall into certain groups with things

- straight 50 guy.. 50 and 100 guy.. 100 and 200 guy.. 200 and 400 guy.. And then 400 and up

They don't do 50s for the other strokes in the Olympics, but they do at world champs.. He would do the 50 and 100 if they had it

Yup

It looked fine. The US goal decision was iffy too.

On to penalties then.

 

[atransta]

I hope US pulls through in the PK's

 

[atransta]
