Mistakenly dumped hydrogen peroxide in the diving pool.

The pool is safe but how can you screw that up...at the Olympics?

Don't know how many trampoline events there are, but they showed a final of 3 men just about an hour ago.

It went Belarus , the Donger, and China.

France maybe just made the play of the entire Olympics chasing ball way off court, leaping over barrier, passing it, racing back to get the did off a mash and then killed it ....all by the same player

France has like 20 service errors and it's the difference

SMH Rupp trips Farah in the 10,000 taking him to the ground. Went from comfortable to wasted adrenaline. We'll see if he can recover to win it.

Looked to me like he was going a bit uncomfortable the last 1,000 meters (at least compared to those he was with)...just look like he died to me

Is there not a 1500 women's freestyle? Just watched parts of the men's race. Could've been another Ledecky gold

Phelps just swam 50.33 during that relay. Isn't that an Olympic record? Thought for sure that Schooling swam 50.39 last night.

23 Golds, 28 total medals. Legendary.

I suppose the fact that Phelps' leg of the race was on a relay dive-in means that it doesn't officially count as an Olympic record though.

They don't swim the Women's 1500M in the Olympics. She'd win that one by about 30 seconds. lol

just backstroke counts towards setting an individual record since it isn't based on an exchange like the other legs

Only the first leg of a swimming relay can count for a record.
