My man Ato Boldon get's pretty hyped up when he calls track events. I like it. I think its cool when you can tell a commentator is a big fan of the sport.

Rowdy Gaines that was doing all the swimming events was the same as well. Except for the 800m where Ledecky was beating everyone including the World Record mark, they were just having a basic convo.

I was gonna say...whoever was doing the Swimming events had me sweating and I didn't even know who any of the athletes were sometimes.

The cowardly game plan they run is apparently pretty effective.

I have no clue how the hell they kept Brazil from scoring.. They were relentless and had a ton of opportunities even with everything jammed up

Yup. Cowards might win the gold. Oh well. g

I looked it up and Japan didn't even qualify for the Olympics. Their team really went downhill.

France. They were down by 7 and came back. They won it in overtime and Spain hit the post as time expired (it would've tied the score).
