Hahaha. Suck it world! Take our points. We’ll win without them. Clutch. This galvanized the group and they’re playing with swagger now.

Canada makes it through, the point deduction is almost irrelevant and now the real team punished is the group winner that has to play them next round instead of an actual 2 or 3 seed

Was impressive, indeed!! I still find that first swim by McIntosh crazier though! She beat 2nd place by 7 seconds!!! That's an eternity!

Too bad we’re in the same side of the bracket as the USA. I’d rather play them in the final.

If it is a replay on Gem I imagine it is the International feed. The live broadcast had lots to say about Kharun

I expect this result will generate more talk about the 'doping scandal'.

Always fun watching commentary from other countries.

Saw a graphic that Ledecky has all 20 of the all time fastest times in the 1500M free. I guess she’s pretty good.


Also watched a bit of the 3x3 basketball. That doesn’t need to be in the Olympics, it’s kind of a joke.

Um I saw videos of athletes participating in the triathlon puking after coming out of the water? Is this real?! Why are they still having the athletes go in there with all the reported e.coli?!

Get ready for breakdancing as well! Starts in a week.

I can see the reason for adding these to the competition, as a stunt to bring in the younger audience. But were past the point of the Olympics are truly about sporting and athletics. Instead they're veering towards hobbies, leisure activities and other weekend warrior events.

What are they going to add in 2028... fishing, bowling, sewing, parkour, and DDR? I know the Olympics are just a giant cash grab for the IOC and its organisers, but this is going too far. I doubt the new generation is tuning in to watch these new events.

Yesh, this could have been bad. Glad he didn't land on his head, and is alright.

Yeah, they should add DDR to the eSports Olympics. Most people wish they were as built as this guy.
