[Hazzuh]

Don't really follow swimming but isn't it really fair to assume that everyone is doping?

 

[Chumly]

What the fuck is the Russian swimming girl doing here. This is a god dam insult to the other swimmers

 

[Y2Kev]

You don't need to assume with some of them.

 

[TheSchwab_7]

Probably, but she got caught twice.

 

[Pedrito]

Putin also got some sort of lifetime achievement award from FINA...

Anyone who is winning medals atleast.

[massivekettle]

BBC commentators so salty about Efimova being at the Olympics/winning.

She's pretty much a lock for the gold medal. Her second 50m is just way too quick.

The whole world is "salty" about this. Mostly because this is disgraceful to the sport.

There's absolutely no reason why she should be swimming. It's just a joke to the entire sport that she is even there

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Heads up, France has just started playing against Tunisia in Men's handball. IIRC, they are the current european (which is pretty much the world in this sport today), world, and olympic champions. I actually think they won the last 2 olympic games and worlds.

You can watch it on NBC sports app, with commentary.

 

[SDBurton]

Lily King with the finger wag.

Wait when did this happen? :O

 

[Majine]

Wait... What? She was ten in her first Olympics??

Her first olympics was 8 years ago, not 12.

When did she get caught, though? Was it this season?

Otherwise, you could ask the same about Gatlin, Sun Yang, etc.

 

[Y2Kev]

Why cant Katie ledecky swim in that race and destroy the Russian doper

 

[Rainy]

Wait when did this happen? :O

NBC showed it before the commercial, and just now again. Lily did it as she watched Efimova win the heat on the TV in the call room.

Del Potro is a man possessed.

Just because. Also it's not fair, but it's also been true on many, many occasions.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Is it bad to assume that everyone is doping? Russia was probably on another level but it seems pretty obvious based on history.

Del Potro about to dust Djokovic.

 

[mcfrank]

I believe that during slams, the ranked players have byes through the first week, so it's a lot easier when you're highly ranked, because you're fresher. There's no such advantage in the Olympics AFAIK, so you don't have these lower seeded people tenderised by having to play into the first round.

This is not correct. No one gets a bye at slams. You are thinking of ATP 1000 events which have byes for the top players as they run a 96 player field instead of 128

 

[SDBurton]

Either they didn't show it on the live stream or I missed it.

 

[MetatronM]

Otherwise, you could ask the same about Gatlin, Sun Yang, etc.

Yes, this year. After being banned for 16 months from 2013 to 2015. Also she's part of the Russian doping program.

Doesn't matter, anyone get caught doping should be permaban imo.

 

[Tamanon]

Del Potro is a man possessed.

Some really beautiful shots from him today.

 

[ActStriker]

Del Potro on his A game today

Why does this have to be 1st round

 

[Chumly]

She was caught in 2014 and served 16 months. Caught again earlier this year. Plus with the Russian state sponsored drug program. She doesn't deserve to swim

 

[Officerrob]

King gonna give the doper a run for her money

 

[Velcro Fly]

King faster than the noted cheater

 

[Rainy]

King beat Efimova's time by .02.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Not really. Seems like every Olympics every world record is broken. Defies any sort of reasonable logic.

 

[Confrontation]

There is almost no prettier thing to watch in tennis than whenever DelPo activates his forehand aimbot.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Djokovic with the save. Damn that was close.

 

[Hazzuh]

I feel like Djokovic is gonna win this lol.
