    Incredible performance from Le Clos. He has just described Phelps as his boyhood hero.

    Jamieson (GB) wins in his semi final, great swim and a fairly easy win.

    lol Sounds weird but its true, theirs something Broadfootish about their faces, a lot of them seem to have big noses, eye bones, cheek bones or jaws or something.

    US just won the 4x200 free relay with Lochte turning in an absolutely monstrous first leg. Quite schizophrenic these games.

    Also, Ye Shiwen (16 year old Chinese girl) turned in a split that's faster than Lochte's best-ever split after going for a normal (female) pace for the entire race. :97:

    Doubt the club would be allowed to keep it open , Any Sponsors non Olympic ones had to be covered up etc by Man Utd.

    Don't think that's true, I think she was faster than Lochte in the same male event the day before in the final part, where he had the luxury of having a healthy lead. Rebecca Adlington said that she's swam that part quicker than Lochtei in the past as well.
    Yeah, same as at Hampden, cause of security/commercial issues I imagine, overreaction.

    Ahh, I got it confused, thought it was being compared to the race where Lochte got fourth.

    There's a story somewhere on the internet about a Canadian journalist who tried to sneak Pepsi into events during the Vancouver games but kept getting it confiscated because Coke is a sponsor. Got it in once and tried to take a picture of it with the rings in the background but a stealth guard came over and took it away before he could take it.
