If the Olympics were to eliminate a sport, what would you pick? I choose Equestrian. The horse is doing majority of the work. The rider can GFT.

Yeah, she basically has a max of 5 medals per Olympics since she's exclusively a freestyle swimmer. She'd have to swim in 4 more Olympics to even come close to Phelps, who will probably have 28 total medals after Rio.slingshot4ever;1806151 wrote:No....doesn't do enough events

Delly with 23 pts on 7/8 shooting, 13 assists, 0 TO. Rio can't hold him.

What has happened to Missy Franklin? She didn't even qualify for the Olympics in the 100M Back, and she just failed to make the 200M Free finals. She still has the 200M Backstroke, but I really expected her to be dominant for years to come after her performance in London.

btw, nobody talked about it but the IOC is a joke. Banning Russia from the paraolympics? LOL, way to take a stand IOC!

Everyone seems to forget that Phelps came right back and beat LeClos in the 100 Fly in London after losing the 200.
After that shit by LeClos just now, I can't wait for tomorrow night.

Phelps just shut it down with about 20M to go in the semis. I have a feeling he's gonna put on a show tomorrow night.

LeClos wasn't full go IMO after his strange strategy in the 200 where he went out like crazy and somehow held on for 2nd. Going to be tight tomorrow.
Will watch.

No doubt he was holding back too. All about just getting a good lane for the final.Ironman92;1806339 wrote:LeClos wasn't full go IMO after his strange strategy in the 200 where he went out like crazy and somehow held on for 2nd. Going to be tight tomorrow.
