darksabre Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 The worst part of the crash was when they cut back after it happened and she was still just lying there motionless. Sickening image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Final report on Van Vleuten is a severe concussion and three lumbar fractures. She'll spend 24 hours in ICU. I'm amazed she isn't more hurt. Or dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 The Ledecky thing is ... weird. And awesome of course. Dominance in swim can be accomplished with much smaller margins of victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well womens 7v7 rugby, it was fun while it lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm late to the party, but Katie Ledecky's victory margin may be the single most impressive athletic feat I've seen since Usain Bolt's world record in the 100. Wow. Secondly, seeing Phelps back and grabbing the lead for the relay was great. God I love the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
