Yes, exactly. It's often like: "Oh, that was a horrible mistake!" Me: "A mistake? When? Where?"

Olympic swimmers may try to do to much - get cramps, ignore pains. Or just be weak from stress and/or excitement.

It's not swimming but marathon or something, there was a guy who got diarrhoea but kept running. He eventually finished his race.

Even when you are a pro, You might need a semi-pro or a normal person, for crucial circumastances.... Once one chamlp passout in the middle of the pool..., These are PROs they take everything in consideration... Some stuff would sound dumb but pretty much they aren't.

it is harder than it looks to swim fast. I know from experience, when i come out of a race i am drained and i can't feel my arms, i go to my parents for some congratulation and they ask me why i didnt sprint...

They get both! My favorite thing about horses in the Olympics is the bond. The rider always congratulates the horse first!

I think it's more accurate to say, teenagers win gold medals in swimming but I still can't do breast stroke :( My friend (who can do that) said my attempt to do breast stroke is a blasphemy to frogs.

It would have to be in Canada all the time for this to happen. "Sorry you didn't win, but here's a gold star. You did your best... sorry"

Gymnastics is annoying when they have these children...I always feel it is not right to have minors in competitive sports.
Flora Polvado 9 years ago
I know. Remember, maybe 15+ years ago, a young gymnast landed on her head and was paralyzed from the neck down. She was maybe 15.

I was born in 2002, and I don't understand how someone so young could already be in Rio.
Barbara Ferreira 9 years ago
Currently, per the 1997 regulation, gymnasts must be at least 16 years of age, or turning 16 within the calendar year, to compete in senior-level events. For the current Olympic cycle, in order to compete in the 2016 Olympics, a gymnast must have a birth date before January 1, 2001. So Ima call b******t.

I heard the water temperature is lower in professional swimming pools. 15C or so?

Seriously, I think this is the worst coverage of the Olympics ever. I didn't even want to watch the Gymnastics after I heard we won (even though I knew we would anyway). Show the stuff live and replay it later during prime time like they have for every other Olympics. I cant stand watching the replay of sports. Fricken Corporate Media.

Then if there's a recount they can have the Hamburglar run in and grab the medal back.

You'd think that advertisers would have figured out by now that NO ONE runs out and buys their product just because they interrupted what we're watching. If anything? I remember that! "Oh hey, you cut in on that Becky Lynch match I was watching the other night... I'll buy from your competitor instead of you".
