@pullbuoy Looked like a huge mistake by Richards...just watching it, it looked like he got baited into "racing the race". Can't believe he didn't see how rapid the 1st semi was and blast a big swim.
If anyone still thinks that Katie Ledecky is not the greatest female swimmer in history, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Not the greatest female freestyler in history. The greatest…period.
Man with slick hair, "I find it quite disgusting how we're talking about human beings who are genuinely.. And it's not illegal to claim asylum in a foreign country"
"Saying they're illegal immigrants.. They're asylum seekers and refugees" #BBCQT
"Illegal immigrants tend to be people who come here legally and overstay a visa, or an application. That's the majority of illegal immigrants"
"We know other countries take on a lot more refugees than we ever do"
"Calling these people: the invaders"
"Or dehumanising them so we can point a finger at them saying: you're the reason we have a housing shortage.. But we've only built 250,000 council houses since Thatcher came into power.. Before that we built 5 million"
"Why do people claim that immigrants are the problem when it's recent governments that are the problem"
First time she'd EVER swum the 100m fly short course. And she takes 0.8 off the WR. Longgg into 2/3 turns as well. Could easily be sub53 in the final. INSANE.
Gooooooooooood morning!
Rise and shine - Gretchen Walsh just set ANOTHER world record - this time becoming the first woman ever to break 54 in the 100 Fly!
This is one of the most impressive achievements in our sport ever. Not only won 2 individual golds in 1 evening, but 2 ORs, and had to beat both current and former WR holders to get the job done.
