Pretty excited for the 4x100. Kind of wish Damian Warner were running in it for us: his 100m times are right up there with everyone not named DeGrasse. Would be cool.

Yep. Canada won bronze in the 4x100 at the last major meet, the World Championships last year.

Edit: Sorry I read too quickly and read Damian Warner as DeGrasse, my bad.

I think that was part of it but IMO he looked not nearly as comfortable.

In the Semi Finals he ran what felt like a very smooth controlled race, wonder if he was pushing a little too much and actually slowed down a little because of it tonight.

A great smile does wonders for people's impression of someone. And he's good with the crowd. And most importantly because he's the greatest ever so he can.

I also don't think he comes across as cocky.

They must have moved the badminton to Asian primetime. It's not just NBC!

the olympic day in brazil is like 16 hours (8am to past midnight)! that's long!

Olympics in Asia isn't that bad actually. When it was in London or Sochi I couldn't watch anything!

Ya, Asia won't be toooo bad... I actually didn't mind Sochi, but after London I made myself promise to take the Olympics off of work so I would be able to watch everything, so my opinions and complaints on the timings aren't very valid.
