Holy sheet, USA 3rd in the 5k. Wow. He came from like 8th on the last lap.

The Kenyan in the women's 1500 is something else. Incredible.

I am wondering about athletes -- particularly runners or swimmers -- that are born and raised at an altitude like, say, Denver and then end up training at an altitude like, say, Gainesville, FL .... or vicy versy .... on their long capacity. Like which is better? Or is somehow an advantage to have been able to train at both?

Jumping for it rather than sharing the gold is a choice.

 

[Madmarsha]

McEwen isn't in a hurry to go back to 'Bama. I don't blame him.

For real. 2 golds is my favorite moment from the last Olympics. Gets me every time.

 

[DaveXA]

Kerr has been jumping just a tad better than McEwan. I think Kerr's chances are better. We'll see.

Would not having the defensive 3 second rule in the NBA be a good thing or a bad thing?

Also, would anyone like to see being ejected after 5 personal fouls rather than 6 in the NBA? I think I would.

 

[Madmarsha]

Do not leave early, do not drop that baton.

I like the 3 second rule tbh. Prevents the defense from just hanging out under the basket.

5 fouls I'd be all for.

Wooo! Men 4x400 coming back home!

 

[DaveXA]

Whew! Benjamin held on at the end.

 

[Madmarsha]

The Botswanan was trying for all he was worth. Benjamin was kinda just cruising.

 

[Madmarsha]

Miss it, Hamish.

ETA: Dang it.

Yeah, that anchor leg was nerve racking.
