Anybody know a good place where I can find a high quality streaming feed in English?

www.nbcolympics.com has pretty much every single event from the start of the games, along with nearly every event live too. Im not sure if it will work for someone outside the US though.

Phelps broke his 200m fly world record with his goggles filled. Beast.

Yes because swimming in a straight line blinded after doing it for 8 hours a day for the last 12 years of your life is hard. Its almost second nature to him, think of it as walking to us. I give him credit but hate how the media gave him more credit then leziak who actually won his 2nd medal for him.

I assume you didn't watch his interview--he wanted to get under 51 but couldn't because they kept filling. Doing turns with a filled goggle isnt exactly easy.

Rappy we must be long lost brothers. We go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. In this case, you would just have your pillows positioned correctly to hide her one flaw!

She almost looks like Eva Mendez.

Except you like Chelsea ;)

Did you watch it? He even said he won the race by counting strokes and looking at the T on the bottom of the pool for turns. If that isn't second nature then I don't know what is.

Don't hate because we can afford trophies :ninja:

Well yeah, the pool helped but the goggles weren't helping at all.

"My goggles kept filling up with water during the race," he told the media. "I wanted a world record, I wanted 1:51 or better, but in the circumstances not too bad I guess."

"I couldn't see anything for the last 100m, my goggles pretty much filled up with water. It just kept getting worse and worse through the race and I was having trouble seeing the walls to be honest"

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Getting so tired of this push for that new useless slop over the less-useless old slop that at this point I just want M$ to have this nice, big, hearty cup of *FU*.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.168

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

      Thanks Microsoft but no, I find both iterations of Outlook terrible nowadays and switched back to Thunderbird at home.
