On your TV, do you have access to all the shows that they're showing online? Or is just my Freeview is ass. I've retuned it and can only ever choose between 3 sports

Well they messed up with their last swimmer so that was bad. Even the analysts on the TV saying that.

But before lochte went in you saw that they were on the WR time. So it is possible. The first three swimmers of the USA did very well.

I wholeheartedly agree, it was embarrassing but everyone in this thread seems to love to see us crash and burn.

I'm curious to see the splits, I want to see how much slower Locthe was than Matt Grevers was in the morning. I think it was a huge mistake replacing Grevers with Locthe, he's not really a sprinter, while Grevers got third in the 100m at the US trials.

The real crime here is that Australia did so terribly, their lead off swimmer's best is like a 47.1, and he swam like a 48.1 today. pretty terrible job by him

Well the USA has won the most medals in swimming and overall for how many olympics now? People always root for the underdog, even when the underdog isn't really the underdog in that specific event.

I have all 24 with a freesat box but don't have access on my other TV set up.

not sure if that's actually the difference or whether I miraculously got tuning right for once on my bigger screen xD

It was a big choke from the Aussie's, no way they should have ever finished outside the medals.

Well the Chinese won't beat the Americans in the medal count I think. One reason is the amount of competitors on the Chinese side is much lower than 4 years before.

Yeah we were absolutely terrible. The press over here were making out that we simply couldn't lose this event and the racers themselves were quite cocky, especially Magnussen, he was such a disappointment. Oh well, we weren't meant to win the women's 4x100 and we did, that's the Olympics I guess.

USA always wins the overall medal count but chances of Chinese winning most gold medals is great. Personally i would bet on it.

Wow that French swimmer split a 46.7, that's by far the fastest in the field. Lochte swam a 47.7, grevers swam a 47.6 in the prelims but had just swam in the prelims for the 100 back so he might not have been the best choice to make anyways. oh well, that's sports for you
