    The Olympics are getting weird. I have no idea what any of this means.

    NBC spent the whole time talking about Les Clos and Phelps while that 19 year old kid got first place.

    For the most part swimming and track and field don't overlap. The great athletes in track and field do not get buried by swimming.

    They talked about Lilly King a lot. They also showed her and her Russian opponent in the ready room before the race.

    When they talked to Phelps after the race, he came off as less than confident he would be good enough to win the finale, just talking about doing the best he can. Think the finale will be interesting.

    He's just a professional and trying to be humble about it. I expect him to win, he's gonna shave at least another 1.5 seconds off his semifinals time.

    Le Clos and Cseh have been trying to get under his skin since the last Olympics: https://swimswam.com/chad-le-clos-phelps-can-keep-quiet-now/

    In the public arena you are right but they do in the record book. Perfect example, Gary Hall Jr. has as many medals as Carl Lewis but I don't know who the fack Gary Hall Jr. is.

    Is lateral quickness important in TT?

    Let's compare zhang ji ke to the japanese peon currently getting bounced out of the quarterfinals

    There are many chinese who left to other countries but lily zhang was born in california. the point falls flat because the national team training is what sets them apart, not race.

    Why do they have Swimming live in prime time and not Gymnastics? Isn't Gymnastics more popular? And why wouldn't they put the gymnastics on a dedicated channel and let it run like they do Tennis and then re air the portions in prime time?

    I think it's dumb how they scheduled it. They have the JV commentary team online too.
