Even the Italian ahead of the WR too. Could be an epic finish.
You are strengthening the case against you.Bugger off
WR For Finke!!
World record there, that was great
He did get the WR, thought it was going to be by a much bigger margin considering he was over 2 seconds Infront of it with 200m to go.
Not sure what happened Wiffen there. Some race from Finke though.
I'd thought Wiffen would run away with it. That was a surprise. But at least he got something.
Daniel Wiffraud more like, yeah?
Hell of a race from Finke! I through the was going to smash the WR but he was dying in that last 50 and somehow managed to cling on to it!
Think the final 100m in the previous WR was at ridiculous speed so the commentators also said he needed to be way ahead with 100 to go. Glad he made it.
USA got this.
Great race Finke. Disappointing from Wiffen but he has two medals so…
The American swimming coverage is truly insufferable.

Shit they lost some time
Bronze? Northern Ireland and the commonwealth can have him back.
Come on!
CHINA
Yeah shockerCHINA
Pan is a full second faster than everyone else in the world in the 100m. There was never any way China wouldn't take gold here
First time in history we haven't won the gold for this event.
He was one of the ones who didn't test positive in Tokyo..hmm
Disappointing Fly and freestyle for the UK
Pan's last lap was something else.

Nah freestyle was fine, if you look at the splits then GB matched France & US over 3 legs. Fly was a disaster but that’s because GB have no one on that
Women's 4x100m relay to conclude the swimming in Paris.
WHATCHINA
Denmark slapping around Norway in handball. Lovely.
YOU WON GOLD!
Try again… think you’ve got this
We shall see. This one is looking a bit more promising
He's flying like Peter Pan. If that's not his nickname I'd be disappointed
Why are India anonymous at the Olympics? Have they medalled at all I feel like I’ve not heard India mentioned once.
Odd for such a huge population.

USA is making this look wayy too easy.
Another swimming WR for the USA
Pan did that last 100m in 45.92. His world record (Done a couple of days ago) is 46.4 !
They have won 3 bronze in shooting.
Currently 57th in the rankings. 0 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze.
I couldn’t fathom trying to explain it, but if I had to guess, too much emphasis on cricket, unwillingness to let children pursue sport as a career, obvious challenges for women, and lack of funding?
Astonishing as it seems given the population, India has just 3 gold medals since 1980.
What are they feeding him in France!
