I’m pretty sure the Australian swim team is juicing. 🤣🤣🤣

Shocked at how bad our 3 v 3 basketball team is. You would think we would have been able to put together a better team
Agree. I don't even recognize any of the names other than Jimmer.

You would think the conversation would be something like...Are you good at basketball? Yes. Are you on the current 5v5 Olympic basketball team? No. Do you want to win an Olympic medal? Yes. Ok, see you at tryouts...

We are losing gold medals to England in the pool?

The only things we should be losing to them are soccer, cricket, beer drinking and finishing schools.

They were the defending gold medal winner.

This could have applied to our women's team or the men. Freakin' Haley Van Lith on the womens's team assures the opponent that we'll take, and miss, a bad shot when the game is on the line. Women's college BB is loaded with deadeye stationary 3 point shooters and they couldn't find one who could play in the Olympics?

The golden generation in swimming is done now. We are still great, but the days of getting 16 gold medals in the pool with the next closest nation having 3 or 4 is done.

Michael Phelps spoiled us. The volume of events he swam was ridiculous. Insane how close so many of these swim events are.

All of his records have already been beaten. How crazy does that seem?

I thought he still had the medley? Could be wrong though. I looked it up a few weeks ago but didn't check the source. Regardless it is crazy but is one of my favorite things about sports. The "impossible" is almost always the new normal after a decade or so.

Except for the NBA which peaked in the 90s according to some 🙄
