Yes, we should blame the cameraman for me focusing on butts.

Am I missing something? Are cameramen forbidden from showing female athletes from behind?

The shot didn't change at all, he just kept filming as she walked by.

Rodney also started very strong, but ended up third. He and Brown have good enough times to have a chance to qualify

Rodney might qualify, got caught at the end. Looks good for Brown at the moment though.

Getting ahead of myself here, but just looking at the weekend sked, is there really nothing going on that final weekend, save for the closing ceremonies? Or is it just TBD at the moment? (They have events listed until Friday on the Rio app).

Forgot I had plans to watch the MacGregor fight at a buddy's on Saturday, forgetting how that's the final Olys weekend. Was considering bailing on him if there's solid Olympic events on Saturday night. Now I'm just confused.

The only thing you may miss for the MacGregor-Diaz fight is the final of the Women's Volleyball tournament. Earlier in the day is the final round of the Women's golf tournament, the final for Men's Soccer, Women's Gold Medal Basketball, Women's Mountain Biking, and the Women's triathlon. There's Canoe Sprint finals in the morning too.

mostly team finals on are on the weekend. also wrestling and boxing finals.
the the men's marathon sunday morning.

Rythmic gymnastics and taekwondo hasn't even started yet!

I thought the 4x100m final was on Friday. 4x400m relay is Saturday

Great job by Aaron Brown and De Grasse. Admittedly I was hoping for a surprise performance by Rodney because he ran sub 20 in the Canadian trials but he is still young so I am certain we will see him in Tokyo.
