  Mistakenly dumped hydrogen peroxide in the diving pool.
  
  The pool is safe but how can you screw that up...at the Olympics?

  Lol. Kinda waiting now for their showing of the trampoline stuff. I won't watch long but having grown up doing a good bit of trampoline skills it will interest me for 5 or 6 performances.

  Don't know how many trampoline events there are, but they showed a final of 3 men just about an hour ago.
  
  It went Belarus , the Donger, and China.

  It's in the description of the info for regular NBC but no signs so far. Just watching the diving semis.

  Men's vball needs to finish off France, can't advance if they don't.
• Ironman92

  

  France maybe just made the play of the entire Olympics chasing ball way off court, leaping over barrier, passing it, racing back to get the did off a mash and then killed it ....all by the same player
  
  France has like 20 service errors and it's the difference
• Ironman92

  

  USA closes France out. Still must play bottom team Mexico but should move on to the quarterfinals

  SMH Rupp trips Farah in the 10,000 taking him to the ground. Went from comfortable to wasted adrenaline. We'll see if he can recover to win it.
• Ironman92

  

  Farah wins and it was pretty awesome.
• Spock

  

  Rupp should of been 2nd. All that marathon training sucked the speed right out of his legs

  Looked to me like he was going a bit uncomfortable the last 1,000 meters (at least compared to those he was with)...just look like he died to me

  Is there not a 1500 women's freestyle? Just watched parts of the men's race. Could've been another Ledecky gold

  Phelps just swam 50.33 during that relay. Isn't that an Olympic record? Thought for sure that Schooling swam 50.39 last night.
  
  23 Golds, 28 total medals. Legendary.

  I suppose the fact that Phelps' leg of the race was on a relay dive-in means that it doesn't officially count as an Olympic record though.

  They don't swim the Women's 1500M in the Olympics. She'd win that one by about 30 seconds. lol

  just backstroke counts towards setting an individual record since it isn't based on an exchange like the other legs
• Fly4Fun

  

  Only the first leg of a swimming relay can count for a record.
• slingshot4ever

  Thanks for the memories Phelps
