A fifteen year old just won gold for Lithuania! She broke the world record the other day and they said before she only started swimming professionally 3 years ago as a means of getting a uni scholarship!

She's getting her medal now. In tears and she's not even on the podium yet!

 

[Brennan]

Get on the basketball lads, women winning 59-57 right now.

made up for her. Achievements like that are what the Olympics is all about. Well done young'un.

That Ye Shiwen looked immense again too. They were saying the other day when she smashed that world record that in the last 50m she swam faster than Lochte in the corresponding men's event, who won gold. Apparently that's never happened before in the Olympics.

Anyway yeah, she set a new Olympic record in the semi before and the scary thing is that she didn't even look like she was trying at all. She was swimming at a canter. Can't beat Usain Bolt-esque aceness!

GB have stopped winning the rebounds, and arent making the simpler baskets since they took the lead.

Oh ffs. They tied it as soon as I switched on.
