Now this is showmanship at its best. Got to love it.

Glad Rebecca got the gold. She probably shoulda got the bronze in beam.

Quite a fight in that W 5000m with a couple laps to go! Kenya 1 and 2.

Considering the Draconian rule in track and field in regards to starting, it's shocking to hear that they reviewed it and advanced him to the finals.

Yeah, I was surprised. He was obviously impeded, although I wouldn't call it intentional. Interesting ruling. I'm glad they made it tho.

That was pretty interesting to see them elbowing for position in that race. Those Kenyans know how to run those distance races. I don't see how they do it without running out of gas. The winner was still on a torrid pace at the finish. Wild.

Valerie Allman has the biggest discus! Gold for USA!

What happened to Athing Mu in the Olympic trials? I remember she was so good in the last Olympics.

Oh boy, there's apparently been a DQ from that race. I haven't figured out what's what, but it's apparently a mess.

Omg, dude got it done. Broke the pole vault world record! And didn't break a pole.

Got to admit, dunno if that dude's already married or got a girlfriend but that's gonna give him some bragging rights if not a medal.

I haven't followed up but I wondered if there was gonna be any fallout. That was a little more than your usual jockeying for position.

And the gold comes back to the US .... but not.

If nothing else, it'll definitely be a good way to "break the ice" on a date... "So, guess why I didn't win an Olympic medal"?

She tripped and fell.
