Ladecky again, women's 800meter freestyle.  Widening the gap each and every length. On pace  to destroy her own world record, she's more than a body length ahead of it . Last lap. 2 seconds ahead of her world record.
Most dominant swimmer in the world.  Won by 11 seconds, I think. They didn't put the graphics up and I think they said she was faster than the men.... I'll have to check the net.

Congratulations to Usain Bolt of Jamaica, the world's fastest man, and the first to ever win the 100 meter dash in 3 consecutive Olympics.

I got to see some of the women's indoor volleyball. Amazing.

I met a delivery driver that claimed to know Usain Bolt when he was this-high. We discussed how ridiculously fast he is.

NBC seemed mostly focused on the American winners, and seemed to slack off when they suffered a defeat. Since I didn't know the final standings in volleyball, I looked them up.

Brazil, Italy, USA

WOMEN'S INDOOR-
China, Serbia, USA

MEN'S BEACH-

I heard some members of the American Swimming team were acting in an appropriate manner after the events at the Olympics in Brazil. ;no

Yep. Post-performance all-night partying, went to use a gas station bathroom, vandalized it, got stopped by security, then told a story about getting robbed by people impersonating police. Of course there was an investigation, and the truth came out.

It'll cost him 5-8 million dollars in lost corporate endorsement deals.

The irony of it all is that the Brazilian authorities would have been understanding and hushed it up had he simply apologized and paid the damages from the beginning.

Sometimes you can serve as a bad example.

I have been at a loss all week to get what the big deal about that incident was.  -Not that acting like a drunk celebrity in public, and getting caught is okay, certainly not as a drunk celebrity national representative in another country  --- but I don't get what's so newsworthy.  Kids with hideous bleach jobs will be kids...

It is not uncommon to see patients undergo permanent psychological trauma in the presence of the Sphere, before the nerve stapler has even been strapped into position. Its effect on the general consciousness of the culture is profound: husbands have seen wives go inside, and mothers their children. Dr. Xynan left the surface of the sphere semitranslucent for a reason. You can hear them in there.. you can see them. It is a thing of terrible beauty.
~Baron Klim 'The Music of the Spheres'
