Thrill

They looked good. Looking forward to that final.

In the swimming, when they display the WR split, is that an even division of the record (ie 200m WR is 4:00, so split at 50 is 1:00), the time that the person who set the record did to that point, or the fastest anyone has ever reached that point in the race?

Just a ticker really I'd say. The WR divided by 4, takes the same length to go all the lengths of the pool.

It's the split of the world record setter.

Basically he was saying that Phelp's trainer now won't have to kill himself since one of Phelp's training partners won a medal.

Disastrous line to use by the analyst.

The father on the BBC hahaha hilarious. "Look at him, look at him" "AHHH He's crying like me" hahhaha

Can't wait for this 4x 200 freestyle. Surely US will hold off France!

My moment of the games so far. Chad le Clos on the podium welling up and then his father afterwards on the BBC showing unbridled love for his boy. Brought a tear it did.

Yes quite, and how lucky the female audience were to witness such specimens :-D :-P

Lochte what a swim!! Delighted for Phelps, sick record at the Olympics to have. 15 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes is ridiculously good.

Richard Hillman

A truly amazing achievement. Words can not describe what Michael Phelps has achieved as an athlete.
