Damn has it started already? I didn't realise, putting it on now. I got caught up watching and reading about indoor volleyball lol. I missed the women's 50m freestyle.

Even games like Resident Evil and first-person shooters can get that first/third person view right, and have been for decades. Yet they can't in the shooting apparently, lol.

McLaughlin-Levrone won her 400m hurdles heat by a mile. It should be between her and last night's hero Femke Bol for the gold. Still semis to come though - the final isn't until Thursday night.

I know he didn't do well as Barca coach, but as a player he is the best midfielder I have ever seen (and I remember Matthaus). Just supreme how he dominated the midfield week in week out and everyone who played Barca was forced to admit they were inferior in terms of possession and ball...

Ahhh right, that's fair enough then. Hopefully he's fitter for Tuesday. He obviously has to run and complete the heat to make the repechage.

Was just about to say, what was going on there? Is it maybe a political protest or something? Lol.

Yeah, even if the benefits are contested it surely can't hurt to try. What I can say is that my muscles feel better when they're sore and I put ice on them. And I often feel cooler and much more at ease mentally, so I believe there's something in this cryoptherapy thing (even if the mental...

Yeah true, I was really speaking tongue in cheek. What I really meant was what you refer to in the last paragraph - it's too short, two weeks every four years doesn't seem enough. Like you say three weeks would allow us to watch more stuff and probably give the athletes more exposure too...

Interesting debate on cryotherapy. After playing hard at football for three hours on Friday I feel like I need Mr Freeze's suit now.

Poor girl, that is a real shame given how much work she has likely put into being ready here. Not nice to hear that she's now out of this too.

Women's 3000m steeplechase heats pretty good. I wish the Olympics were on 24/7 365. It's class and two weeks isn't enough lol.

I believe they've had massive injury time in just about every game. It's been like the World Cup in that respect, where there was a lot of injury time in many games. I am not sure the players appreciate it given they are playing every three days or so.

Good stuff mate. I do like the track and field so gonna keep watching it. I like hockey and handball but not watched any at this Olympics so far.

That's true It was a very entertaining night tonight anyway, both in the athletics and the swimming. The thing about track and field is I don't get that interested in the throwing events. I like javelin but do they really have to have about four throwing events? Javelin, discus, hammer and...

Mindfuck: Neymar has been here all along, as Temptation.

That is true and a great point. There were also always those big stories about China dropping funding for athletes who didn't win gold. That's China though - they're brutal when it comes to this sort of stuff. They need to win and second place is nowhere. They're probably the worst for that...

Haha yeah World record as you say. The other French swimmers aren't on Marchand's level so they had no chance of winning. China pushed USA all the way though. Is it true that China might have broken the previous world record too? They were fractions of a second behind.

Some of these female swimmers are stunning. Not Ledecky. She looks like Modric.

lol

Lol really? That's insane, didn't realise. Feel really bad for Walsh. As for Ledecky, like you said there's something not right there. Titmus is one of the very best in the world (admittedly more on shorter distances) and Ledecky made her look like a baby. How can Ledecky be that good?
