Why don't long jumpers just use a tape measure?

There is an Indian guy going CRAZY for the Indian in javelin finals and I'm worried he'll get kicked out. I hope not though!

During a warm up throw he fist pumped so hard his glasses fell off his face and he keeps trying to get an american kid on front of him to root for the Indian

The men's basketball game distracted the real Olympics heads from realizing that USA's women's water polo streak came to an end today

I only caught one water polo game this year and the US seemed dominant so the loss surprised me.  I need to watch a replay of water polo penalties though as that seems interesting to me.

Sorry at men's water polo semis



They moved the knockout rounds to the dome-like arena where they had swimming. It's huge and the US women yesterday was the largest recorded women's water polo crowd in history

There are like 15k here for a game in the 5th-8th bracket and it is DEAD. Very weird but cool to hear the players yell. Hungary and Croatia are the second game and they are big water polo countries so hopefully it picks up
