50m freestyle coming up next.
Being in the final just gives you a chance here.
Yeah, ridiculous how close that one was.

It's such a quick race.Yeah, ridiculous how close that one was.
16 years after winning gold,and 13 years after retiring,Ervin wins gold at 35.
It's nice to have such feel good stories. Especially come back storiesNot to mention that in that time he apparently fought depression before managing to make his comeback. Incredible story.

It's why I love the games.
It's such a quick race.
Is that the last race of the night?
Very good by him .Oh yeah, and he also auctioned off his gold medal to help people who were affected by the 2004 Tsunami.
Think he is done.Is Mr Phelps finished now? For some reason I thought he had 2 races tonight, not just the one.
Jeez, that other British Woman's Heptathlon athlete, the Scouser Katrina whatever Johnson is such a miserable moody cow, the complete opposite compared to the beautiful and always so smiley, chatty and positive Jessica Ennis-Hill.
Think he is done.
That was the last final of the night apparently
Doesn't Phelps still have one last race tmr?
There was a 50m race but Phelps doesn't race that. It's such a specialist event that isn't really suited to his strengths. The 50m is done in 22 sec. So you blink and you miss it.Yeah, that's what I thought, but for some reason I thought he still had one race left. What happened in the last race? I think it was the 50m, I had to go outside as I thought someone was trying to break in to the pub, or sat outside in the beer garden. Couldn't see anything, but missed the bloody race. Not happy
The stadium is bloody empty too. I haven't seen anywhere full at any event at these Olympics yet. Such a real shame. That was a massive flaw with London too. Far too much corporate tickets given out, and the real fans priced out of attending. I've always thought (especially for somewhere as poor as Rio/Brazil, that lots of tickets should be given out to schools/universities and sports clubs etc and they should try and get the stadiums as full as possible at all times.

Online?Is there no way to watch the Women's hep rather than the mixed athletics feed? I don't care about the first heat of the Mens 100m and wanna watch JEH and KJT.
Online?
Yea looks like it's just part of the general athletics feed, also featuring the mens 100m heatsCan't see it.
You can watch a dedicated feed of Women's Basketball between Australia and Croatia but the only Athletics option I can see is the mixed feed with pre-recorded Hepthatlon segments. Hopefully they'll focus on it when they've finished with the rowing ceremony.
Bolt's just basically jogged a 100m ffs
