So there is an uproar that after Simone Manuel won her medal, they delayed broadcasting her medal ceremony for an hour so they could show some (Russian) gymnastics.

On a less disgusting note, Akela is in 4th after two events in the heptathlon.

Diving is on. All I can think about is how janky the green, murky water makes everthing else look. Like, everything there is brand new, but I fully expect that the diving platform is very grimy and rusty.

I'm always amazed watching elite mvb. It's like watching adults on little cats slam jam on their courts.

Looks like it's official now. Happened quite frequently in London too IIRC correctly.

This beach volleyball game is a rough ridin' PARTY. DJamer/MC hyping up the crowd. NBA stars dancing. Leslie Jones going nuts.

Smells fishy

ChiComCat · « **Reply #297 on:** August 16, 2016, 10:26:58 AM »

The original article was updated to say the IOC confirms it now.

If Lochte is lying, he is too dumb to pull it off for long.

chum1 · « **Reply #298 on:** August 16, 2016, 10:41:26 AM »

If four dumb swimmers are lying, it would be hilarious.

I always assume it's a drug buy gone wrong in these types of situations
