We have our 1st positive drug test. Imagine that, a distance runner from Morocco. :laugh:

Moroccan Amine Laalou - 1500m runner tested positive for the diuretic known as furosemide.

Katie Ledecky, 15 years old, takes the 800M free. Almost had the WR, but lost it on the final 50.

..and most everyone thought this was going to be "Lochte's Olympics", including Ryan himself---Phelps is a fucking stud.

I love that most people agree Lochte should have kept his mouth shut. He came across as arrogant before the Olympics. He wouldn't be suffering any negative comments/feelings if he didn't have the whole "Lochte Nation", "It's my time" or the dumb grills he wears.

Any negative attention he receives he brought on himself.

Phelps is just a monster of a swimmer and athlete.

The 4x100 Medley Relay tomorrow night should be an easy win for the USA with the top back, 3rd breast, top fly, and top free legs.

What do you mean finally some track and field medals? Track and field just started today and shot put is the first event. So it's not like the US had any chances to medal in track and field until now.

Great to see Phelps finish out his individual events with another gold. Would love to see him win gold #18 in tomorrow's medley relay.

Four medals for Missy Franklin already, and probably a fifth on the way, in her first Olympics. I could possibly see her challenging Phelps' medal record in years to come if she sticks around long enough.

USA swimming once again flexing its muscle in the Olympics. Love it.

I figured and I agree track and field is best glad it has finally started.

these female track athletes are scary and arousing at the same time. Don't know if I'd like all the muscles, but probably die with a smile on my face.
