I don't think Sweden played like "cowards", I think they played liked winners.

I'm pretty sure that Katie Ledecky is what you would get if Michael Phelps and the Little Mermaid had a kid.

Ledecky keeps outdoing herself.

So happy Phelps got that final gold. The announcers weren't so sure he wouldn't try for 2020 so his son would have something to actually remember. Even if he's just there for the Butterfly and the relays, if the dude can still win I'd love to see him back.

The fact Britain are now ahead of China in the medal table is fantastic. Looks like we will smash the target of being the medal haul in Beijing, which was our best games outwith London 2012.

I don't think the Olympics will be the same without Phelps.

I don't think the Olympics will be the same without Phelps. I've got a feeling he'll see the team sliding in time in the next two years and try a comeback for the relays and the fly if nothing else.

I may be biased because I can't stand interviews and see no real point in them...but I'm watching them talk to Allyson Felix after she had to settle for the silver and I'm just like "what the "... "So, your dreams have been crushed, your career and life are over...you've let down yourself, your family and friends, your hometown, your country, your team, your dead grandmother's memory, and your cat who is sick with twelve different kinds of cancer...tell us...how are you feeling right now?"

Can't wait for Brazil-Sweden tonight. I wanna see if Sweden will get trashed again or learn from their mistakes. And I have a mild crush on Sweden's #3.

Haven't been that impressed by a defensive preformance since Arsenal vs Man City away 14/15. Unreal stuff.

So did anybody else see that clusters*ck of a women's 4x100 relay qualifier? At first I thought the US women just plain screwed up but turns out they had a little help. A Brazilian runner accidentally hit one of the US runners causing her to stumble and miss the baton pass. At least they were smart enough to pick it up and finish the race because you can only appeal if you finish. Had they just stopped and dropped out it would be over. The US appealed the race. Now the US women have to run 4x100 relay race all by themselves and beat a 42 second time to qualify for the finals.
It's almost enough to be more interesting than whatever the heck is going on with Lochte and the "robbery".

Sweden vs Canada tonight is going to be wild. I'm putting my money on a 1-1, ends with a penalty shootout that Sweden wins because they have that insane goalkeeper.

Still trying to figure out what was more scripted. Takeover: Brooklyn II or the gold medal football game...
