Best anthem.

 

[StoopKid]

lol Brazil.

 

[MIMIC]

How old is this Brazilian girl? 6? lol

She was great on the beam.

 

[UraMallas]

Nothing will ever top that relay in 08 for any Olympic event. That shit was nuts

That was the greatest Olympic moment I've ever seen.

Agreed. That was an incredible comeback.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I know Green is the main Brazilian color but goddamn these solid green arenas.

 

[Bsigg12]

Ledecky crushed that. God damn. (I'm probably behind)

 

[Rainy]

Is NBC not showing the award ceremony? Come on...

 

[giga]

That .08 reaction time though.

 

[DoubleTake]

Cant believe I was 12 when Phelps won 8 gold in China. Feels like it was yesterday. Now I'm 24. Time flies.

This post made me loot at my fingers for a second lol

 

[Prompto]

Let freedom ring

 

[ScribbleD]

Was that the last swimming event for the night?

 

[Rainy]

That .08 reaction time though.

That's insane.

Was that the last swimming event for the night?

Yup.

 

[BigWeather]

Woah, you're older than me. :O

So you also remember when he was a teenager in Sydney.

Yep. He was heralded (but didn't medal), but I had nooooo idea he'd be this amazing. Did anyone?

 

[Justified]

USA!USA!

 

[massivekettle]

I'm not the one posting dumb comments about how US swimming isn't what it used to be or trying to give Russian dopers a pass. Do you have some weird anti US fetish?

You are putting words in my mouth, or rather words in my posts. Never said any of that.

I said US could get gold here, and they did! Just woke up for that race.

As for Efimova, I wasn't aware she had been caught this year. Otherwise, it's not so different from Sun Yang or Justin Gatlin...

 

[Subitai]

Agreed. That was an incredible comeback.

Phelps was just beginning his gold sweep and the men's basketball team showed up to support and all 4 guys said that definitely helped galvanize them. Losing with that audience would just be too embarrassing.

 

[Elfstruck]

Let's fking go USA!!!!!!

 

[DoubleTake]

That .08 reaction time though.

How...

 

[User 463088]

I know Green is the main Brazilian color but goddamn these solid green arenas.

It'll really help North Korea edit Kim Jong Un into everything though!

 

[Dany]

switched to gymnastics

 

[massivekettle]

That was the greatest Olympic moment I've ever seen.

That, and the 100m butterfly race with Milorad Cavic.

 

[Officerrob]

Holy shit at gymnast on the floor looked awful, she spiked her head into the floor

 

[TheGameshark]

That .08 reaction time though.

Dude is hacking

 

[dolabla]

 

[Skellig Gra]

Holy shit at gymnist on the floor looked awful

Yeah, that could have been way worse thankfully

 

[Blader]

Yeah, I just meant in terms of this being a more dominating win, whereas the 2008 relay was closer. But the '08 relay is one of the all time greatest sporting moments I've ever seen.

 

[Dany]

Do they wear a lot of makeup or is it because its on an HDTV that it looks excessive?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Senator McCarthy is alive

 

[Officerrob]

Tons of makeup

 

[Damerman]

That 41 year old for some reason decided against makeup

 

[TheGameshark]

Lol this one always makes me laugh

 

[StarCreator]

Is NBC not showing the award ceremony? Come on...

Yeah seriously, what's up with this?

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Is NBC not showing the award ceremony? Come on...

I haven't seen a single one yet.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Is there anyway to watch events in their entirety from yesterday and today in Canada? If so, could I get a link?

 

[Brazil]

Americans coming in to this thread with impressions of events that ended 6 hours ago confuses the hell out of me.

Fuck NBC, man.

 

[Majine]

why is USA the best?

China will pass them eventually. Just like in everything.

It's not live yet here on ESPN

Fuck NBC, man.

Swimming happened six hours ago?

It's impossible to tell what is live and what isn't.

 

[neptunes]

I think CBC has an archive of the events on their website

Fuck NBC, man.

Wasn't the swimming live?

 

[UraMallas]

Oh! These parents are back. I loved their reactions last time.

Americans coming in to this thread with impressions of events that ended 6 hours ago confuses the hell out of me.

Fuck NBC, man.

As a very casual fan of the Olympics, IDGAF. Just don't spoil it for me now.

 

[User 463088]

Uh. It should never be shown on ESPN since ESPN is owned by ABC which is owned by Disney...

 

[MIMIC]

Aly's mom xD Bwahahahaha

Now THAT'S a mom! lol

Swimming was live. It says live in the corner when it is.
