I barely know anything about swimming but our Belgian commentator mentioned straight away that Wiffen stands out because he doesn't use his legs the first 700m. Didn't say that or mention it again about any other swimmers in that final.

Are we still on about swimmers using or not using their legs?
Yep.
I am anyway. Now that the thread about Ozil getting jacked has died down. What else is there to argue about?
Need to have separate thread about swimmers usage of legs
The decisions in the boxing have been appalling
Just saw the Chantelle Reid loss. Outrageous.

Four of my cable channels showing tennis, 2 showing basketball match between China and Serbia and one showing BMX.
Who is playing in tennis?
She looked to completely outclass her opponent in the last round. Hard to see how she lost that.
Which of these swimmers are on gear?
Djokovic and German Koepfer. Djokovic winning.
Just read a comment of Facebook
"How come USA did not win a single medal in shooting, when it's their favourite part time sports?"
"How come USA did not win a single medal in shooting, when it's their favourite part time sports?"
Careful now. Sensitive topic for Irish swimming fans.
Thank you. That’s worth opening the streaming app for then!
Edit: nevermind Djoker just finished it
Yeah there’s some very very dark humor jokes that go along with that too.
Because the stupid Olympics won't let you hold a can of Natty Light in one hand while you're shooting.
Thought the Aussie should have scored higher for landing a front flip.
They always have been.
USA lady goes 2nd in BMX.
Anyone else from a country that hasn't scored a medal yet? I'm getting a bit impatient.
Chinese lady fell
Pakistan and we are not winning any medal.
You don't have a weightlifter or wrestler that could surprise everyone?
I just want to see one of these women land a flair.
Swimmer and shooter out. Just javelin throw guy left and he is not winning anything.
The BMX was anticlimatic
Oh shit Roberts botched it.
The BMX was anticlimatic
The mens is going to be epic.
That's a shame. Do you have an idea why such a large country doesn't have more world class athletes?
Love for cricket.
There seems to have been quite a few disappointing American performances this first week - gymnasts notwithstanding - with only 4 golds so far. Has the American media been making much of that? No doubt some people will be blaming it on woke.
Yes but it was expected with the shite sports being first. Will pick up when the real stuff starts and the team events reach the latter stages.
When did your field hockey team stop being good? When I was young they were best in the world. These days India seems to be the only top team from your neck of the woods. It doesn't get played much any more?
So everyone plays cricket and ignore other sports?
Wasn’t the javelin dude inches away from gold at the world champs? Surely capable of winning on a good day.
I couldn't remember which sport I linked to Pakistan, Field Hockey.
Pakistan used to be great in Hockey, Boxing and Sailing in Olympics. But love for cricket, incompetent people at helms of affairs has made a mess.
Yes. Here is hoping he may win
1994 was the last time they won world cup and 84 was the last Olympics they won gold medal.
