I don't watch the summer games as closely as the winter, but will likely always have it on in the background to kind of follow along. The kids loved watching some of the gymnastics today!
I worked with one of our track and field athlete's dad for awhile though so I'll be watching for her!
Watching swimming! Our fav sport to watch in the Olympics
Mine too! In high school you could join the swim team without trying out so one year gave it a try. I lasted one practice and thought I was going to die from exhaustion and never went back. The amount that they swim and train is amazing

I have been watching as much as I can. It sucks the primetime coverage doesn't start until 7, I can't make it through the whole thing before having to go to bed. I plan to try and catch up on what I missed after work today.
I just read that the women from the Netherlands who crashed near the end of the women's cycling race suffered a concussion and fractures to her lower spine!!
Warning: don't google this unless you want to see images of the crash. I feel so bad for her because she could have won the entire thing!
Not watching but saw the pictures of "Boomer"....is that the babies real name??? Or is it some inside joke I don't understand because I don't follow swimming?

Yes, that is his legal name. I wish it was just a nickname or joke.
Did anyone see the Ukrainian male gymnast intentionally take zeros in the team final last night? So bizarre. It seems one of their team came back from the hospital too late to change the line up. Or they are resting for individual events. Either way, if I was Switzerland, the 9th place team, I'd be pretty upset.

I don't get to watch until the super late night airing. I'm going to have to stay off of here and Facebook so the gymnastics finals don't get spoiled for me! Unless gymnastics are streaming during the day, then it might be worth watching instead of napping.

Did it actually come on primetime last night? I heard men's gymnastics got bumped last night because US didn't medal.
No, it was on the late night part which my DVR tapes along with primetime. I watched it this morning. It was probably on at 2 am which I didn't think about when I asked if anyone saw it.
