[freeze]

Team GB has a 12 year old skateboarder representing them Sky Brown, what an experience at such a age.

yes bro. Theres a 12 yr old ping pong player competing too. and a 15 yr old swimmer i believe

The cool thing about the NBA bubble was that we were able to watch each player be their best self with no distractions and fans or haters in their heads. So I'm expecting some wild performances too

but yea the nba bubble was the mickey mouse asteriks chip lol

 

[osh kosh bosh]

They play 1s and 2s in 3x3 basketball? Nasty.

This Netherlands/Brazil women’s soccer should be fun. Netherlands already up 1-0 in one minute

 

[whtascene]

The match already ended

Trust me there's more goals.

Host country already taking blows..

daiyo seto who was supposed to be one of the gold medal contenders in the 4 IM didn’t even make the final

Xennial US women are super screwed in this 4 x 100 relay

Australia sat the fastest 2 women in the world this year and still were just over 3 seconds faster in the prelims

they’re probably breaking that world record in the final when they add mckeon and cate Campbell

hell all 4 Australian women could split faster than any American women




the US at this point might be forced to make some gambles.. which means we might see ledecky and/or Manuel in the final

this is crazy that Seto missed 400 im final, Iron Lady only in 7th going into the final

4 IM is a rough event, makes completely sense to me that Phelps was burned out in 2012 and gave up swimming the event for 2016

once you get older isn’t kinda easier to train for sprints, especially if you’re doing multiple events

but with Iron Lady, even by swimming standards she had a crazy workout routine and schedule.. soo once you start easing off of that, hard to see her having the same level of success

 

[IATT]

Don’t know if anyone is watching the snatch, but man the American girl got screwed

still trying figure out why they ain’t count her attempt at 89kg

Just showed his race on NBC. Had a huge lead for 350M and then got smoked on the final length. Crazy.

I’m always curious how much these athletes let up/don’t push it during the qualifying heats since the finals are usually the next day.

 

[dmbrhs]

china with 2 gold medals already

China always starts out strong because they specialize in niche sports, and a lot of those take place in the first few days. They aren't very competitive in events like track and field, swimming, basketball, etc. so they pad their medal count early, then taper off later once Team USA starts racking up medals in more popular events.

depends on who it is and the event.. a lot easier to do in track since you can clearly see people better throughout and down the final 100

but swimming you can see people just not as easily.. you can look but it’ll throw body positioning off.. so either you just check whatever side you’re breathing on in freestyle or just push off on your side on turns and try to check as much as you can during your underwater phase

but usually you’re just kinda building throughout without pushing it pushing it.. with relays you’re making sure all starts are super safe, so you’ll see slower reaction times in the prelims from the top teams.. but for thone relays, theyre saving their top guys and the ones in the morning are trying earn 1 or 2 of the spots in the final team

Watching sum of these events makes me wanna pump sum iron asap lol
