Your an idiot if you really believe your own post. Train 5 hrs a day every dat for 3 yrs and throw a gold medal? I don't think so. He may have choked, but not on purpose.🙄
 
With Phelps 2 golds away from the all time, and taking into consideration Lochte's obvious hatred of Phelps... Ummmm, I dunno.

Seriously? These guys kill themselves training to win a gold and you think he'd throw away a chance for one to spite a teammate????:stupid:
 
I don't know how else to splain it.

I'm not buying the choke.

Maybe he just wasn't the best swimmer in the pool? I mean he's not as good as 2008 Michael Phelps.
 
yea u train to win urself a gold metal. most of the time ur competing against each other. you dont know how they really feel..i guess he dint throw it..hes just really slow. talkin bout how he has it in him to beat everyone. his crazy training..then loses most of his races. except the one against phelps.
 
I do know how they feel, trust me, most of it is in their head. If they 100% believe they can win, they will. If they believe they cannot beat a certain athlete, swimmer or team, they never will.
 
phelps finally wins a gold !!! Im sure he'll take another to break the total record.

A FORTY EIGHT YEAR RECORD NOW BELONGS TO PHELPS. NUMBER 19.

No one has won more. Gold medal number 15. He says it's his last Olympics. If it is, he will retire as the best of all time.

Way to go Michael Phelps.

He's okay by me now. 😀

Either you were right, or his coach had a chat with him. Either way, he more than pulled his weight today.🙂

And what about the woman's gymnastics team, huh? That final floor exercise. All three nailed it... made me cry. GOLD, GOLD, GOLD.

What a day.

Hardly. There are so many events for swimmers that it makes it much easier to win a lot more. Now, I'm not saying he's not a phenomenal talent, but the best of all time? Nah.
 
First gold for GB in the women's pair in the rowing. Absolutely dominant performance as well

Time trial is going to be sick later. Start times for the big hitters:

Best SWIMMER of all time for sure.:tee:
 
BBC's online coverage is sick as ****

Currently watching Brazil v NZ, and with the click of a button at the bottom of the screen I can see what's going on elsewhere, match stats, sport guide or the teams. All sports coverage should be this good

I'm just waiting for athletics to start. Most of the stuff so far is just the fluffer of the olympics.

Although BMX was quality in Beijing so also looking forward to that.
