a very brave 5th imo
Jack_
13-08-2016, 01:47 AM
It's all on the start and wall and with like 0.5 between the whole field it's possible
But there's still favourites so
Ross.
13-08-2016, 01:47 AM
I'll be different and say 6th then x

The final night's schedule:
2:03 - Women's 50m freestyle final (feat. Fran Halsall [GB], Simone Manuel, Bronte Campbell, Cate Campbell)
2:11 - Men's 1500m freestyle final
2:49 - Women's 4x100 medley relay final (GB, USA, Canada, Denmark, Russia, Australia, China, Italy)
3:04 - Men's 4x100m medley relay final (GB, USA, Japan, Australia, China, Russia, Brazil, Germany)
Fran's final and the men's medley relay are gonna come straight off the back of the conclusion of Mo and Jess' events respectively so I'm intrigued as to how they're gonna go about this :laugh: a busy night for sure!
Any medal will do Fran just don't finish ****ing 4th

Jack_

Not this clashing with Greg, Mo, Jess and Kat's finals </3
Definitely the busiest night of the games! My guess is they'll stay with the athletics until the end of the 10k, show Fran's final on tape a little while before either the heptathlon 800 or the women's 100, and then try and show the men's relay live after that's finished
I'd stick with the world feed if I were you :laugh:

(on a serious level I applaud his achievements but at the same time I'd care more if he was chasing somebody else's record down - but the reality is he's now on 24 and the next best was only on 9. So I'm more than bored of his dominance now. And I'm sure the team events especially could have someone else in the team and still securing gold so it's all a bit boring.)

Jason just read this out on air, the US Olympic Committee have released a statement regarding the robbery story:
Attributable to USOC CEO Scott Blackmun:
Two U.S. Olympic swimmers (Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger) have given statements to local authorities today regarding the incident first reported on Sunday, August 14, 2016. Their passports have been released and they recently departed Rio.
After providing a statement earlier in the week, a third (James Feigen) provided a revised statement this evening with the hope of securing the release of his passport as soon as possible.
Working in collaboration with the U.S. Consulate in Rio, we have coordinated the athletes’ cooperation with local authorities and ensured their safety throughout the process, but we have not seen the full statements provided by Bentz and Conger.
However, we understand that they describe the events that many have seen on surveillance video made publicly available today. As we understand it, the four athletes (Bentz, Conger, Feigen and Ryan Lochte) left France House early in the morning of August 14 in a taxi headed to the Olympic Village. They stopped at a gas station to use the restroom, where one of the athletes committed an act of vandalism. An argument ensued between the athletes and two armed gas station security staff, who displayed their weapons, ordered the athletes from their vehicle and demanded the athletes provide a monetary payment. Once the security officials received money from the athletes, the athletes were allowed to leave.
The behavior of these athletes is not acceptable, nor does it represent the values of Team USA or the conduct of the vast majority of its members. We will further review the matter, and any potential consequences for the athletes, when we return to the United States.
On behalf of the United States Olympic Committee, we apologize to our hosts in Rio and the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of what should rightly be a celebration of excellence.
With three days remaining in the Olympic Games, our primary focus will remain on supporting the athletes who are still competing and celebrating the achievements of those who have finished.
