Only because the Nigerians messed up and ran a girl last

Still feel if you have all these different swimming races for different strokes they should also have backwards running races

I've said that for years, maybe even a crawling race. Can you imagine training your whole life to be the fastest crawler?

[GirlySports]

Hey, there's mixed Judo! But no, the guy doesn't throw the girl

[EldrickOnIce]

Canadian girls kick ass!

I mean they do have race walking.

The men's quarterfinal Badminton match between Denmark and Indonesia was really great. Definitely not something I usually check out but I'm glad I did!

I believe what I saw on his twitter a few days ago, specific decision on his part to focus on the 2 and the 4x1

decent session for Athletics Alberta tonight


Arop looked good in his heat
glad Watson advanced but she nicked a hurdle, which looked to me like the inside hurdle but she is through- will be a tough field going forward

[flames_fan_down_under]

Arop looked fantastic in his heat wow.

Mete Gazoz (Turkish archery gold medalist) looks more like a nerd than a jock.

That was a wild competition, unpredictable. Korean shoots perfect game in 1/8 finals then chokes in the quarters.

Andre de Grasse wins his heat with a 9.91 tying his personal best

Boady Santavy is currently in first in the 96kg Weightlifting event. Here’s the link if anyone wants:

That was weird with the 2 false starts in his heat and the disqualification.
