The real Olympics don't start till Friday. We appreciate the hard work you've done for your country, and the way that you absolutely dominate the pool. And we hope you continue to do so.
But as I look here at the start list for Friday's Womens 10k final I notice two things.
1. 32 Runners. 32!!! In the final this is gonna be awesome.
2. It says right at the top of the page, Athletics events start August 15th.
So, it's not that I'm disparaging the pool events (well, outside of synchronized diving) but let's be honest. Friday can't get here soon enough.
And you'll excuse me I hope, if while cheering for Flannegan and Goucher if I also cheer for New Zealand's Kim Smith. Outside of being a totally badass runner, with a dry sarcastic personality, she also has the presence of mind to be drinking coffee before races and training. It's not what they teach you in school, but what's not to love?
