Calling @MCFC1993 forgive my nosiness but I’m intrigued. Do you type all that out yourself every evening? It’s amazing and much appreciated. Thank you. :-)

Why? I'm far more suspicious of the ones that were breaking world records a year ago and are now failing to qualify for the final.

Ye there some who was tested a hell of a lot over the year and he’s done nothing in this Olympics, I do wonder at what stage things will stop been broken naturally though, there has to be a limit. Maybe they should do an Olympics where you can get a juiced as you want to see what the human body could actually achieve.

It’s an odd sport. Why don’t we have running backwards competitions?

 

[give it to gordon]

Something dodgy about that Chinese guy beating his WR by 0.4 seconds in 100 metres freestyle

Was thinking the same. The fact that commentators and pundits kept say 'unbelievable' seem odd as well

 

[Vienna_70]

Fucking beach volleyball on the BBC.

What a shit "sport"!

The woman’s version is ok

Marchand last night was insane. No one tends to multi event and include breaststroke (at least as a swim) but to do that and butterfly over 200m, win one from miles back and the next from miles ahead...with two Olympic records. Staggering.

That walking really is shite. I know the Brit lad is fed up of people writing it off, but it's just ridiculous.

They've been tested so many times, if it's dodgy they'll find out. The bigger reveal for me is the likes of Qin who was getting close to Peaty's best times in the 100m breaststroke but then was absolutely dross at these Olympics. Considering the Chinese are usually bang on it for the global events, it's a bit odd how far off he was.
