New Zealand took two golds and a silver in the rowing. We also beat the US in men's tennis doubles for bronze.
Good shit.

We're up to 9th on the medals table, ahead of France, Canada and Germany. Shit is wild.

Two large woman circled each other and then one would just fall down. Point. It was very odd and incredibly boring.

I'm worried that the Italian dude who won the 100m is going to piss hot. I mean, they're all on drugs, but this guy was a long-jumper who was barely running sub-10s before this year.
I'm happy for him, but it seems a little sus.

They're calling the 400m men's hurdles final the greatest race in Olympic track history. 5th place would have won gold in Rio with their time. The first 6 finishers beat their national record. Just insane.

I watched it. It was a great race, but far from the best in Olympic history.

From a performance increase perspective it absolutely is. Even second place would have smashed a 29 year old record. What even comes close?

Every racing event should have an average in-shape person participating for comparison purposes.

Aussie men’s poured it on against Argentina in the second half. USA should have cause for concern in the semis Thursday.

It wasn’t as incredible as the men’s final, but it was top class as well.

Andre de Grasse finally gets his gold in the 200m. He spent many years trailing Bolt so it's hard not be happy for him.
