Into the semis in the Tennis mens doubles.
This is complete nuts to me.
A chance for medal in tennis? what the actual fuck? It's been 25 years since we've even had a top 40 tennis player.
Where's Venus rated in doubles?
Edit: currently ranked 20 in doubles

Haven't fully caught up in the Simone Biles thing, but other famous giverer upperers include:
Roberto Duran, "No mas"
Os du Randt, "gatvol"
Sally Robbins, "lay down Sally"Frankly, I'm of the opinion that the GOAT doesn't quit, and " mental health " is being used as to shield herself from criticism. But its happened before.
I typically am too. The only caveat here is that it doesn't sound altogether safe to be launching yourself into the air like she does if your scone isn't all there. It's a dangerous sport, and there is precedent there.
We all saw how long it took for Col Trickle to get his head right, and Cougar never made it back.

Nice strong finish by Lewis Clareburt in his 200IM heat to finish third.
Yeah. But no threat for a medal one would think.

@booboo well he's the 3rd fastest out of all heats not just his own.
Really? I'm a moron.
Just watched him into 3rd in the heat and assumed he was nowhere.... d'oh

Yeah he was in the final heat - typically the later heats have the strongest swimmers (based on entry times).

German cycling sporting director Patrick Moster was forced to apologise after he was heard on camera making racist comments during the Men’s Olympic Road Time Trial.
The German official was overheard saying “get the camel drivers, get the camel drivers, come on” as his rider Nikias Arndt chased down Algeria’s Azzedine Lagab and Eritrea’s Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier during the time trial.
