How can the Chinese swimmers be trusted

Middle leg swimmer's a bloke..

If they've got a middle leg they're definitely a bit suspect.

Look out for any beaver tranquilizers ......

It's a funny old world when athletes get praised for quitting in the middle of a team sport.
"Lay down Sally" must be looking at the praise for that American gymnast and shaking her head.

you're comparing apples with oranges - I understand what you're saying but it's a totally different scenario

The only difference is that Sally wasn't intent on protecting her "brand" so didn't have the forethought to fabricate an excuse for mental weakness.

Wow really? Simone Biles has already proven herself to be arguably the best female gymnast of all time, she has carried the US team to countless victories over the past few years and your comparing her withdrawal from competition to Sally nobody’s laying down in the actual middle of a race? God there is zero comparison here!

The other thing could be avoiding a test .........hope that isn't correct

One of them quit it in the middle of competition costing her team a gold medal whereas the other one...................... quit on her team in the middle of competition costing her team a gold medal.
God you're right, there's absolutely no comparison.

I loved the happiness on Cate's face at the end, for someone that comes across quite serious and often really stressed it was wonderful to see how happy she was, not just for herself but for Emma as well. That is what leadership is all about.

Before the race I was getting her mixed up with the McKeon who won the backstroke gold the other day, are they also related? I know there is a sister up with the families at Noosa as well.

A couple of horrible crashes in the BMX.

Really feel for the family of Saya with what they have been through.

Yeah Lauren Reynolds made it through, anything can happen in the final as it is just one race. Make it there and you can pull a Bradbury.
