She was 0.01 away from an Olympic record.

Just gotta hope that wasn't the swim of a lifetime there, I think she's got more in the tank and can win this thing.

I think she's reaching potential in this meet she probably didn't even know she has. I think she'll be on the podium.

She's gonna be a superstar. She seems to have the confidence too. When they interviewed her after winning the silver, I love how instead of giddyness like you'd expect from a 16 year old, she just said we haven't seen anything yet, and she thinks we're all going to be surprised what's still to come in the pool these Olympics. Love it.

Same with the millions spent on studies trying to link MMR to autism. You will not change their minds.

Anyways. Go Canada ! Looking forward to the swimming tonight
It was more of a comment on the article to be honest. The writer took a few studies with inconclusive results and concluded something from them.

I've never looked into the research for cupping. The theory behind it is pseudoscience, for sure. But to try to argue against its use using inconclusive studies is doing science a disservice.

The hard part is studying it well. We have useful tools and treatments with good theory behind them that fail to show consistent results with good studies. It doesn't mean we should stop using them.
