    4 individual golds for the Frenchman Léon Marchand. Pretty impressive, and only 22.

    What if I told you I haven’t watched a single second of the Olympics?

    A little bit excited about the Djokovic-Alcaraz gold medal match coming up on Sunday. It seems that the guard has officially changed, but Novak is highly motivated to prove he hasn't been surpassed.

    France now move into second with 11, thanks to their Michael Phelps, Leon Marchand. Maybe that'll take the sting out of having their butts kicked at basketball by the Germans

    Those other countries obviously measure their medal count using the metric system. USA! USA! USA!

    Well, you are mostly descended from criminals, so I guess it's a good thing you turn your energies to sport. Meanwhile the Yanks are descended from Puritans, so with them it's to take their mind off masturbation.

    I have no idea why GB is doing so well these days (certainly compared with, say, Germany). I grew up in the days when all we watched was the 1500 meters (Sebastian Coe! Steve Cram!) and fucking figure skating (Torville and Dean!). I think we really invested in sport for the 2012 London Olympics and it just carried over somehow.

    Anyway, how you like your dust, @PtldPlatypus ?

    I predict that track and field is going to be a bad thing for China's lead in Golds...

    Most Aussie children start swimming lessons from between 6 months to 2 years of age. All Aussie children complete compulsory swimming lessons throughout Primary (Elementary) School. All major swimming events are televised on free to air TV during prime time, and are lauded by the media, politicians, and the general public. Excellence in swimming is just in our culture.

    Hey! I resemble that remark!

    Definitely a residual effect of 2012. Seb Coe is well known here, maybe because he coached some Aussie athletes after he retired.
