Olympics - Rio - August 2016 *Spoilers*

SLA44, this is for you.. look at our beautiful boy's smile! HA!

Awe thank you california90.  Just makes me smile and I sure wouldn't mind giving our boy a hug either.  He sure brought home the Gold last night.  Have you heard if he is considering retiring?  I think he still has a lot of gas in his tank!

So proud of him and the USA team!! They killed it this year.

He said he's coming back for 2020 He said it in a few interviews, I believe. Woo! Hope he makes the team by then! Lol

Oh good we need that handsome man with the winning smile hanging around poolside after he anchors another Gold medal win.  He will probably miss Michael because he has swam behind him for quite awhile.

Did anyone watch that women's 400m final? The bahamas girl straight up stole it from Allyson Felix and I LOVE IT!

Yeah, it was by a hair. Literally.

I caught the tail end of the replay.What happened? She fell her way through the finish line or was it the other one that won?

Miller was leading, felix caught up and was taking the lead and Miller straight up DOVE across the finish line to win gold. Everyone's mad because they don't think it should be legal but it is

I thought the Bahamas runner fell but she was diving for the finish line, and she won. I really am not sure if it's fair because what if now everyone dives, instead of running to finish? Most dramatic finish for sure!!

The winner is the one whose torso goes through the finish line first.
Shaunae Miller just barely edged her out thrusting herself chest first though the line at the very last second. source

Thanks for the clarification everyone!

Wow, the Brazillian just jumped 6:03 meters!

Oh wow, 22 yrs old broke the world record holder. Very happy for Brazil. Gold medal for that handsome young man. Love when the underdog wins!
