thank you. we should just get at least a silver no matter what just for housing and training 50% of the swimmers from other countries.

and while i love to watch the history making swimming, i didn’t mind the womens marathon. my wife on the other hand…  
think about it. i caught the finish in the middle of the pack. they were finishing at 2 hours 26 minutes. not even placing.  
a marathon is 8 and a half 5k’s in a row. thats running a 15 minute 5k in 15minutes 8+ times in a row…
