    Love Laurie Hernadez on the gymnastics team. I'm really hoping they take her to all-around (though I read it was going to be Aly, Gabby, and Simone?)

    Simone and Aly will be competing in the individual AA. Laurie and Gabby will still be involved in the team all around final, though.



    The dude sobbing next to Michael Phelps on the podium is totally me winning a medal.

    Peaty destroyed the 100m breaststroke this Olympics. 3 fastest times ever, 1.5 secs faster than 2nd, only man ever under 58 seconds and he's done it 4 times (i believe). Amazing performance.

    Road race is good but track is much better. Enjoy the road time trial too. Hoping GB can get close to their dominance on the track again.

    A friend's sister was a diver at FSU and was training for the Olympics. She hit her head so hard once at practice that it took a long time to heal and she quit after that bc it scared her so bad. Can you imagine that devastation after devoting your entire life to something?

    I keep expecting a wardrobe malfunction in the women's beach volleyball. Those bathing suits are teeny tiny.

    Surprised there's no wardrobe malfunctions in the diving.

    nahhh. those aren't like normal bathing suits. you can't play beach volleyball well with normal bathing suits or bikinis or whatevs.

    what's funny is that I know most of the men playing probably prefer playing shirtless.

    On the NBC Sports app it says Serbia be Australia basketball starts at 5:15 pm. Is it talking in Rio time since I'm in pacific standard?

    I think they're playing already cause I caught some of that game.

    The men's synchronised diving comp is insane. Less than a point separating 3 teams, big battle for 3rd place. Chinese are ridiculous.

    Is there a significant pro volleyball league? I've got a few college games before (sometimes they play right before the Colorado Men's Basketball Team for free). I always love watching it during the Olympics.

    I just checked and that game is already finished despite it saying live and that it will start shortly on my tv. Weird.

    There's AVP, which is beach volleyball's most prominent league in the US. That's really about it in the US.

    There are professional clubs and leagues, but they're all foreign.

    There's actually some rule that the men and women need to be wearing a minimum amount on inchedge on their volleyball costumes. They literally make them wear the smallest possible
