Haha, I do take a certain guilty pleasure in seeing the strong swimmers absolutely bomb in the run.

 

[wakephan09]

It looked like he was in the lead group at the transition, but faded fast in the run.

These bros are absolutely killing it on the run. Leebs probably follows triathlon so she might tell us, but I think Kanute is the weakest of the three Americans.

My stream has new zealand commentators, but my mom was complaining about her USA (channel) commentators that were spouting some shit about Kanute being the best American right that moment in the race​ because he had a CLUB TRIATHLON background in college rather than running or swimming collegiately. LOL, no, shut up, lady.

Wonder how much the other women had to pay Leebs not to try out for the US team.

 

[DeaconBrews]

So will he go back willingly and face charges on filing a false police report or just put Brazil on the "never visit again" list?

From a deadspin comment:

Lawyer: You can never go back to Brazil.
Lochte: Man, but I really enjoyed Europe!

 

[wakephan09]

Yes!!! After like five minutes of watching the Brownlees sip their gatorade, we get a great shot of GRILLINGTON outsprinting four dudes! Awesome shot.

Haha, I'll let her handle this one.

They are protesting to the officials. They should win and advance automatically.

They are going to rerun alone tonight and must top 42.7 to qualify

 

[wakephan09]

I was right about Kanute...totally bombed the run. Can't wait to see the splits though.

That seems... weird. Is that common practice?

 

[wakephan09]

Also, two of our women, at least, will have a decent shot at the podium.

Oh, Mr. Lochte. Just one more thing. - Lt. Columbo

What was the little leg kick by the Brazilian? Looked intentional...

I don't think the leg kick was intentional, but the Brazilian did line up way to the left and it appeared she was looking for contact

 

[liveanddiedeac]

Lochte's personal best time in the 100m freestyle is 48.16, is his IQ higher or lower than that?

 

[CDeacMan]

Although I guess they all line up way on the left

Because most of them will be receiving the stick in their right hand.

 

[Teamramrod]

You sure there aren't some lefties in the race that like to switch it up every once in a while?

 

[WakeTheNation]

That seems fair to me. The team that is currently 8th has to be pissed though. lol

 

[wakephan09]

Not sure if you're joking, but yes, there are surely some lefties and that's why I said "most" of them.

 

[awaken]

Why should political affiliation matter?
