      Mens double skulls looked like they are going to get rolled in their heat. In fourth place with 135m to go, they ended up second in a four way photo finish. Squeaky bum time

          Lewis Clareburt qualifies for the 400IM final, but way back. Isn't he the reigning world champion?

            The swimming World Championships this year didn't hold that much weight - swimmers are gearing up to peak now - not in Feb. Marchand wasn't even there

                        Somewhat off topic but 2028 Olympics

                        Source wiki: “After debuting in 2020 as optional events, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing have been promoted to the Summer Olympics' "core" event program. Boxing, modern pentathlon, and weightlifting had been provisionally removed due to governance issues; modern pentathlon and weightlifting were later reinstated following reform efforts, with the former expected to employ a new format replacing show jumping with obstacle course racing, while the decision on boxing was postponed. The 2028 Games will feature the debut of flag football and squash as optional sports, joined by the return of baseball/softball, cricket (for the first time since 1900) and lacrosse (for the first time since 1908).”

                        Cricket!

                            Athletes told to vacate their rooms 48 hours after their events finish. Cardboard beds to discourage sex. It's a real shame the Olympics Village isn't what it used to be.

                            The cardboard bed frames were used last Olympics too are more about sustainability than extracurricular activities….

                                Skateboarding is a joke of an Olympic sport. All the medal hopes are about 14, all keep falling off their skateboards. But fun to watch.

                                  S Korea narrowly pipped China to record the country’s 10th straight gold
