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

      By +seb5150 · Posted

      Calendar management with the new Outlook is horrendous! Things I can do in one or two clicks in classic take 4-5 in the new version. Sometimes I can't even find the same options I had in classic.
