So 2 gold medals are given out, then a 2nd and a 3rd? So technically the Campbell one came 5th not 4th?
Why have the Olympics lost their appeal, or have they?

Poor silver. Silver is the best medal imo.
Canada now has as many golds as South Australia.
I thought Australia was a little disappointing in the pool. Hoping the track cyclists can do well.
2nd or 4th would be the worst spot to finish I think. You'd think 'so close' forever.
1st Canadian gold in the pool since 1992. And she's the first Canadian to win 4 summer Olympic medals. She'll be a force in Tokyo you'd think. Her reaction was great.
He was in the studio doing commentary. He teared up. Was very happy for her.
Two golds, no silver, a bronze. Then fourth, fifth etc.
There was a dead heat for bronze earlier in the week. One of the swimmers didn't know she had won a medal (she just saw her name listed fourth on the board and didn't notice the dead heated times) until she was being interviewed after the race.
Hehehe

watching the team pursuit with british commentators was galling enough...
commentator: "Australia have started a little slow"
we pass the first lap in front
we took the gap from ~0.3 to ~0.6 on one lap
commentator: "Australia edging slightly further ahead"
Gap goes from ~0.6 to ~0.5 a few laps later
commentator: "Britain now slicing into australia's lead"
And then the british pricks ending up winning
Stayed up to watch womens 10,000m and was glad I did.
Phenomenal performance to break the WR by 14 seconds, the first 4 runners broke the old world record.
For a long distance race that could be considered boring to watch, seeing the Ethiopian runner move around the track lapping other runners was amazing.
Of course, ultimately the doubters come straight out with the accusations including the 12th place Swede runner.

Lime cordial is awesome.Da hell is going on with the diving pool, smells like fart now apparently.
Last night the commentator got all excited yelling that Lochte was going to beat Phelps for the first time in Olympics. Yelled "Lochte wins! Lochte wins!". Then there was a pause. And then "my apologies. I mixed up the lanes".

Can't say i'm not surprised about the accusations after the 10,000m. Breaking the world record by 14 seconds in your second competitive race at the distance is going to raise a few eyebrows.

The broadcast rights are a bit up themselves too. I know channel 7 paid a lot of money for them, but the chirpiness of their breakfast television makes my brain hurt first thing, so I'm watching the ABC who can only show still images of the event.
Ha. Funny. I just watched that and thought that's a good name.
There is an Aussie commentator on TSN doing the athletics. Voice is familiar. Think it might be Peter Donegan.
One of the great Australian commentators.
I have no idea why one of the commercial networks does not have him doing football on TV or radio.
Unfortunately he would show up their mates like bazzzzil and the bosses bro for the incompetent muppets they are
