Really pleased for Sjoestrom. She's been in the game for a long time. Fitting way to crown a great career.

That French commentary for Marchand's victory is quality. 
Phelps. 8 Golds. 2008.
Amazingly the second most is Phelps again with 8, 6 golds and 2 bronzes in 2004.
Anyone watching the badminton?
BBC just replayed the French commentators for the Marchand race.
Phelps 8 golds..
Now for the Ledecky show...
We have a Belgian NBA addict who does the broadcasts for Greece, France, ... games and he's fecking awesome, but for all USA games the mainstream voice is brought on and he fecking sucks. Infuriating.

RMC?BBC just replayed the French commentators for the Marchand race.
If not, you should listen to the RMC commentary.
Ledecky still the one to beat in this one?
Unbeatable, no one even comes close to her.
Are France overall even good enough to give Marchand the push in the relays? 6 or 7 medals on the cards right? Winning 2 separate strokes is always special, but doesn't look like he cares to do the 100m's.
Guys I’m watching the 1500m swimming and they’re not kicking their feet!

Have you listened a normal football game on RMC? "AND THE BACK PASS TO ONANA!!!!"RMC?
If not, you should listen to the RMC commentary.
Went from 1.56 odds to 1.02 by 50m
They didn't say exactly who, but they didn't hold back on their excitement.RMC?
If not, you should listen to the RMC commentary.
No. I catch them through BFMTV, which is freely available in the U.S. They keep playing these moments from RMC. Great stuff since Boukli won the first medal for France.
They're even talking about the kicking on the BBC now
Unbelievable!Went from 1.56 odds to 1.02 by 50m
I think Ledecky just sped up as she passed half way
Amazing that after 1000m, lanes 5 and 6 are right next to each other.
I obviously mean the swimmers in those lanes. I’m fully aware the actual lanes don’t move
Nah . At no point was ledecky even close to 1.5Went from 1.56 odds to 1.02 by 50m
I don't know if Ledecky is winning that one.
France still without a win in men's handball after three games. Two losses and a draw. Admittedly they have played the most difficult teams now, but still not inconceivable that they go out.
I don't want to revive that conversation but Ledecky is an actual example of not using your legs.
That’s not human. It was a race for second pretty much after 50 meters.
Another Olympic record for the lady GOAT
This 3X3 basketball seems a bit silly. It’s as if cuppy or heads-and-volleys was an Olympic sport
What blows my mind is she gets out of the pool & it looks like she’s barely winded
Ledecky Won that by nearly 1/2 a pool length, great swim
Ledecky is a machine.
I'm shattered looking at her.
It's amazing that in a world filled with so many people, 1 person can be that much better than everyone else.
Some swimmers are great in short distances, others are great in long distances.
She is great in both.
Ledecky has the 20 fastest times ever in the 1500m
Interesting thing is that she has actually never really been properly challenged in the 1500, I wonder how much better she could have done if she had to push herself even harder
Even more amazing is that she is much better than anybody else for almost 15 years.
She was a junior in High School when she lost a 1500 meter swim!
18 seconds quicker than anyone else has managed to do in the event is crazy.
Blows the competition out of the water like that & she’s talking about “yeah during the race I let my mind wander and thought about the people I train with”
