American Lily King said it's bullshit that it almost feels like shame for Americans to celebrate Silver and Bronze medals
Katie Ladecky also laughed at Michelle Tafoya asking if she was retiring. She absolutely will swim at '24 and is aiming for '28 as well. Considering she is only like 24 years old, that's all doable

I'd just like to add that mixed relays are awesome in all sports, are a fantastic addition to the Olympics, and to date have been the most exciting part of these Games by far.

North Korea would be amoung the medaling nations but they pulled out among Corona Virus concerns. In weightlifting in particular Rim Jong-sim got gold in 2012 and 2016 in her weight division.Also in 2019 at the most recent World Championships she won gold. Would have been a favorite to 3peat if she competed.

Man, that mixed medley relay in the swimming was some crazy shit. i don't know how this would work properly ... either have the same swim stroke throughout or have each turn the same with strokes and men and women alternating just feels a bit random that's all and ANOTHER american athlete blurbs out it's their god given RIGHT to win everything i see, and not realise just what competition they are in, so big headed sometimes and sad to hear in the soccer semi finals mexico face brazil, while hosts japan take on the spain

Finally got round to watching the Olympics on my days off and saw Charlotte Worthingtonβs gold live. Amazing performance. I felt a little sorry for Hannah Roberts on her last run she just didnβt have anything left there.

The fastest man in the world this year missed out on a place in the 100m final.
