If you've never seen footage of Aly's parents when she performs. This is from the other night.

Phelps is a machine. He's treated  us all for so long.

Saw something else very special. A young Ethiopian woman (Almaz Ayana)smashed the 10,000m track WR by 14 seconds.

She broke away at 5k and upped the pace. The last few laps, she not only kept that WR pace, but found another gear.

Very special indeed.

Aussies in the men's 4s rowing got beaten by the English by a few metres.

That was hard. Aussies hate losing, but especially to England. I guess you'd hate that too kopf?

Indeed  :o + she ran longer than usual, often in third lane to pass the lapped runners. Quite sportsman-like too, since world records are 'reserved' for Diamond League where they pay very good money for them and supply pace runners to help. She also confused the back markers, some of who stopped running, not knowing how many times they've been lapped  [cheeky]

Yep, she smashed everyone!

Now I've just seen Great Britain beat Australia for gold in the men's team pursuit.

Stinking poms!

Ledecky's performance in the 800 freestyle tonight was of epic proportion. She beat her own WR by 2sec, finishing 11.38sec ahead of the runner up.  [clap] [clap]
