Have you remembered any Olympic team sport outside of basketball and women's soccer where it was so blatantly obvious nobody stood a chance? The US has BY FAR the best 3 individuals in the competition and probably has #'s 5 & 6 to go with them. Unreal. Also, Phelps is a true OG. His idiotic DUIs are super shitty but in the pool the dude is a Gyrados amongst Magikarp.
Nobody from the US golf team is off to a great start, very early into the action as they just teed off this morning.
Bubba has missed 2 or 3 makeable birdie putts.
I honestly don't expect any American's to be in the hunt (besides maybe Reed). They would never admit it but a lot of those guys are just down there for the good time/experience. They play for majors and tournament winnings. A gold medal would be cool but in golf there's no way it even compares to a big PGA tournament. Hence the reason the top golfers dropped out (using Zika as their excuse).

I know it doesn't compare to a major for them, but I think for the ones that are playing it's a big deal. First time we have had Olympic golf in awhile.
Sergio and Reed just now teeing off...they're in the same flight.

22nd gold medal and he had as many tears as any of the previous 21. What a freaking stud. I hope everyone is appreciating his greatness. This is just marvelous.

And 38 minutes later he takes second in his 100 fly heat, missing the win by .01. Oh yeah, he was 8th at the turn. Could he win six golds in his 5th olympics? Of course he could.
A giant spoiler just showed up in my Recommended Tweets pop up today. Grrr.
ugh, I was doing so well about avoiding gymnastics spoilers today! and then when I was at the gym I went into a room to stretch for not even 5 minutes - I looked up at ESPN at the very moment they flashed an image of the girls on the podium.
this would have been such a nail biter for aly if I didn't already know the outcome! oh well, it was still just as emotional and awesome to watch those girls kill it. I can't help but wonder how it would have been if the maximum 2 per country rule didn't exist (also, why does it exist anyway??)

1. That's TV for ya. If one group fucks up (TAPE DELAY), the other will take advantage.
2. Blame the Japanese. They would frequently sweep the podium back in the day.
The next morning I'm still all weepy over Simone Manuel. Hoping she's on the today show!
People were bitching up a storm on Twitter that they didn't show her medal ceremony... but NBC was still broadcasting their Olympic coverage and actually closed with it. I don't see a lot of people admitting that maybe they were just a bit too premature in their desire to create controversy, though.

Nah, this is entirely on NBC. It's completely unrealistic for something like the Olympics to go completely unspoiled for most people under, like, 70 in today's media environment. ESPN and any online publication has to report on stuff like this as it's happening. That NBC still wants to save this stuff for primetime is Luddism to the fullest degree.
last night just had me all teared up. between aly and simone (those floor routines, wow), simone manuel and michael phelps, it was so good. my sister just moved to simone manuel's hometown (and a hour from biles' home), so i'm excited to hear about celebrations and things of that sort.
