What a swim on his leg of that relay. Not big into niche sports, but he does things that make you rub your eyes to make aure you are not seeing things!

Just a request.... For those of us in western time zones, please don't post results in the subject line. He hasn't raced yet on my tv. Hopefully the result is the same!

GBR and GUSA!

His turn at the wall was amazing! He definitely built a lead for the final two legs. Great to see!

Great race to watch. Also really liked that the cheating Russians got shut out of the podium.

FYI, most everybody cheats in one way or another, including the dear old USA.

I assume you have proof to back up your statement. Otherwise you are indicting a lot of athletes who have worked their butts off and sacrificed to compete.

Apologies. I did not know that. Your gripe should be with NBC, not a message board.

It's not meant to be an indictment.. just a generalization.. it happens in all sports. relax

Sorry, but you didnt say sport, you said most every athlete cheats. So it is OK to make blanket statements about groups of people? So I could say that most everyone that posts on bulletin boards cheats at work? Thats just a generalization though.

You may be right, but not everyone feels compelled to always take the other viewpoint. I commend you for that ability.

You're making this into something that it is not. The context here is the Olympic games. A statement was made about the Russians cheating. I'm pointing out that one would be naive to think that the USA doesn't have athletes that are doping too.

This pretty much sums up the Olympics for me. Funny because it's TRUE.
