Thanks for doing the Lords work… lol.

I don’t care about much of this but the guy with his balls hanging out was kind of funny tbh

Judging by the times so far, the Paris pool is on the “slow” side. Always interesting how the characteristics of the pools can change the speed of the swimmers. May not see many WRs this year.

US men’s 4x100 with the first gold for the US. 2nd leg swam by Notre Dame swimmer, Chris Giuliano!

So Chris Giuliano is a freakin beast. Very impressive swim for USA’s first gold medal in the 4x100 relay.

What do you mean by this? I haven’t had it on yet so apologies if it’s very apparent, but would think it shouldn’t matter?

Didn’t swim the last leg? Must have been a three star swimming recruit.

Him and the guy who swam the 3rd leg looked really strong. Excited to see them in the individual events.

I’m no expert on the matter but this has come up before in previous Olympics. I believe the depth of the pool matters (deeper is faster as less turbulence is created). I think past pools have also had some aeration which breaks up the surface tension, creating faster times. There may be others that I’m not aware of.

Technology has also helped in track and field as you can build faster tracks using certain technology.

Next Olympics swimming will be in SoFi Stadium, wonder how deep they will have it

oh that last sentence hurts.

Mike Brown designed the pool. He hates WRs.

Titmis beat Ledeky. That was good to see. Let’s go.

Australia are winning the Olympics so far. Easily actually.

Get your facts straight! I posted 2.5 hours after.

That wasn’t even Ledeky’s best event and she wasn’t expected to win. She’ll crush everyone in the long distance events.

I hope so I like her. I like the cut of her jib.

Has anyone done a top 5 hottest female swimmers list?

 

[ColoradoIrish]

What they did at the Olympics was infinitely more offensive than that silly word.

No it wasn't

 

[T-Boone]

I’d have liked to see Ricky jervais as part of the opening ceremony doing his brand of trans humour.

 

[NDBoiler]

Can we drop the crap about who does/doesn’t deserve to be offended by a meaningless ceremony and instead focus this thread on the athletic competition?

 

[Blazers46]

So only Christians opinions matters when it comes to what's offensive got it.

Im saying each individual person has a right to be offended about whatever they are offended about… Christians included. You’re not the offended police that can dictate what is offensive to someone else or not… which you just did basically.

The "Culture" thread in the Political Forums is probably a good spot for all of you to take this conversation. Far too many of you feel like you have to have the last word. Please leave this thread.

Using a derogatory term for people needs to be called. You used a word in that very way and got called out on it. No one did that towards Christians

Good grief, enough. Nobody is attacking your community on here.

Now get out of our Olympics thread and go USA!

[Sea Turtle]

WFT? They let the US in and how many countries are we currently bombing in the Middle East and for how long?

You can get your American hating ass out of this thread, too.

GO USA!!!"

 

[T-Boone]

You guys are just trying to change the topic from the fact Australia is lapping you in the pool.
