"He was 13, which would have made her ineligible." OMG, I had to do that. Crazy fkrs..."HE HERSELF said...... "

LOL.....SCAV, YOU THINK HE CUTE. ...LOL....I got to stop...He herself said she is 16. He is a good girl. How could a nice girl like he be a liar?

Thank You! Thorpe never competed in the decathlon until the olympics and his point total record stood until (i think) the 50's. he also won the pentathlon and competed in the long jump and high in the same games.

people these days blow things way out of proportion, especially the media. They forget that some athlete's actually were pros in more than 1 thing, which in my eyes make them better athletes.
One guy on the top athlete list (although not an olympian) would have to be Dave Winfield... only guy ever to be drafted by the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL (the 4 main pro sports leagues).

Thorpe was good enough, that he could still compete. If he had the modern training techniques, he'd blow away any of them, in any of his pro sports.

How do you know this?

Pretty sure Winfield wasn't drafted by the NHL too, but I am too lazy to look it up.

I heard Winfield beat the sh*t out of Chuck Norris.

No. About Thorpe dominating today.

I knew where you were going with it. Meant to quote his post, not yours.

BTW I agree, how would he know?

50.1 split


WOW

He was drafted by the NHL, grew up in Minnesota.

200 Fly final is tonight.

Isn't that cheating with those circles?

Good bump

No.

Efimova wasn't really cheating either. The reality is all of them at that level are trying every advantage they can get their hands on.

It's really no different than horse racing.

Not done either. 200 IM prelim this morning then semifinal tonight.

100 fly prelim tomorrow, then semi-final and 200 IM final tomorrow night.

Believe the medley relay is last day.

7 more swims.

And yeah he'll be in Tokyo 2020. You can take it to the bank.

This will be the toughest race of Phelps' career tonight in the 100 fly.

Joseph Schooling is the real deal. He swims for the Texas Longhorns and is coached by the greatest in the history of the sport.

This is the race I've been waiting for all week. If Phelps beats this young man then he is the greatest athlete in modern history.

Quite frankly it's not debatable at this point but a gold in the 100 fly at his age against this group would solidify it beyond argument.

Most people have no clue how brutal swimming can be on the body. Training at an Olympic level for that long is just as brutal as playing basketball for 15 years...if not more.

Phelps has been nothing short of amazing. Last night's Final-to-Podium-to-semifinal was tremendous. I hope he has enough left in the tank for tonight.

He will. It's going to be an incredible race.

Lochte didn't completely lie. He embellished.

This story is bizarre and the police press conference is a cluster**** of epic proportions.

The "important people" are too occupied with their golf game. Unaware they're being cucked. Again.
