Zhang Yufei is chick of the day! 2 swimming gold medals within 2 hours. She said she thought they'd get maybe third and she doubted her ability to finish strong but in the last 50 meters, felt a sudden burst of power which she attributes to patriotism.

Ledecky must have felt like total crap; she just did the 1,500 m swim earlier.

What are the chances of this happening? Weightlifting is a cash cow for Chinese athletes.... I hope it can be resolved!

This is not the fault of the IOC or the US. This is the fault of the IWF (international weightlifting federation) because they are run by old Soviets who dope and take big money to cover up doping. Basically, their stance is that doping is part of the sport and so is corruption. They were discovered, the former president Hungarian Tamas Ajan admits to taking millions in bribe the threatening everyone to be silent on his hiding hundreds of positive samples which he will not turn over to this day. The IOC gave weightlifting every chance to reform but in the recent meeting, they voted again not to reform. These old Soviet bastards ruined it and if weightlifting gets kicked out, it's all on them. However, there is currently a drive to form a new weightlifting federation to bypass them. China and the US are at the forefront of this effort. Americans actually want to improve weightlifting and keep it in the Olympics because Americans love watching the sport; they just suck at it is all...

See, this is why you can't complain about too many events in swimming

Agree. I really don't want to complain about this. China can't say we want to be crowned the most athletic nation with the most gold medals but be bad at running, jumping and swimming. That's bullcrap. (But then again, it's also bullcrap when these Caucasian nations use black athletes to win.) Get better at these things or you don't deserve the crown.

mens 800m freestyle and womens 1500m freestyle are new Olympics events for swimming this year.
Sun Yang at his peak performance, competed in 200m, 400m and 1500m, just because 800m was not available. 200m freestyle was not really his strong event.

This is ridiculous. Surely this can be appealed right? Indians cant win medals themselves so they wont let others win too?
