August 12, 201610 yr How cool is this picture of Katie Ledecky getting Michael Phelps autograph at the age of 9. [ATTACH]57281[/ATTACH] She should should be selling autographed copies of that as a poster. Even cooler if both have signed it. And I'm not really into autographs.

August 12, 201610 yr Unfortunately he is playing as an Englishman. Turns out that's because he is an Englishman.
August 12, 201610 yr US is the dominate country in women's gymnastics now. 4 straight individual all-around Gold medals. I bet it becomes 5 in a row in 2020.

[ATTACH]57281[/ATTACH] Another cool pic was of the Chinese swimmer he posed with a few years ago. The kid was in the lane next to him competing next to his idol. He gave him a hug after he won the prelim.
August 12, 201610 yr Simone Manuel's win in the 100M Free last night was probably the highlight for me. Loved the emotion when she learned she won gold.
August 12, 201610 yr The US vs Brazil match was a lot of fun. I actually didn't realize you could "kick save" a ball by using your feet instead of your hands. I thought that was amusing and learned something new. But I agree those were big time hits by both teams. The starting lineups could easily compare to most college teams in height. Those guys are tall, agile, and very athletic.

I saw it the other day and they said it was a new rule. Anything below the waste was out but with the rule change as long as you keep it from hitting the floor it's fair game. That was a really cool save. Another change was to allow net contact on the serve. Agree with you on the size of these guys. No chance I'm trying to dig one of those kills. I'm running the other way.
August 12, 201610 yr Agreed. Between her and Simone B Houston was well-represented in the Olympics yesterday. I wonder how many new baby girls this week will be named Simone.
