2016 Summer Olympics (Archived) • Page 9

This is going to sound callous, but the 30 for 30 documentary about his career is going to be must-watch

 

Great women's team pursuit final between GB and USA. USA finished 0.200 seconds behind the WR time set in the semi-finals. GB finished 2.5 seconds in front of them, set a WR in every round.

 

Simone! I love her so much.

 

That and the timeline of his career is just insane. Also, it makes me miss Gary Hall Jr

she's just incredible and I'm so excited to follow her career.

 

same! her and dirado have brought so much fun back to this. i just love how huge they're smiled and truly enjoyed the experience.

also hi! i was wondering if you made the switch over.

 

The US women in the medley relay will most likely be #1000. Phelps' last race #1001.

 

YES! Time to happy cry for awhile

 

Can't stop crying, man. This is my Gretzky/Jordan/Jeter. What an incredible 12 years it's been.

 

That Ryan Murphy split was insane.

And equally insane, Usain Bolt just jogging the last 25m cause he knew he had the heat won even after a slow start

 

Usain Bolt is unbelievable to watch. He really makes it effortless.

 

Imagine losing the gold medal on a freak incident like that long jumper. I'd never recover.

 

The two Brazilians getting silver and bronze in the men's floor is one of the moments of the games. So happy for them.

 

Yo..this Switzerland/Brazil beach volleyball game is intense. I think there have been 3 challenges so far.

 

43.03 world record for the 400!

 

Bolt. What a guy.

 

Dammit, i just got home and I turned on the race right after it finished. Bolt is a beast though.

 

During the last olympics there was a few Twitter accounts that just posted photos for specific events. They were cameras placed above the mats for wrestling, below the water for swimming, and it was an official automated account that only posted photos. Does anyone know if there's something like that this year? I looked but didn't see anything

 

My fastest time running the 400m when I was in tip top shape was like 1:10 lol So fucking insane.

 

Rio Olympics 2016: Wayde van Niekerk breaks world record to win Olympic gold

For me this will be the story of the games, at least for athletics

 

Shame USA-Brazil came in men's beach vball so early

 

I still can't believe it. Doing it from lane 8 made it a bajillion times more unexpected. If he goes under 43 one day it would be even more ridiculous.

 

This dude commentating gymnastic beam routines right now is stressing me the fuck out.

 

Pole vault final was amazing; 22-year old Brazilian overtakes reigning Olympic champion/world record holder French guy, so French guy, instead of trying to match what the Brazilian did, skips his 2 remaining chances and goes for 5 cm higher than what the Brazilian did, getting only one chance, and biffs it, so gets silver. Crowd went wild when they realized the Brazilian got gold

 

the whole country is going OFF for this guy. what an amazing story. came out of nowhere to bring home our most unexpected gold in ages.

 

Women's 400 was bonkers
