How the hell does China with 1 gold, 3 silver and 5 bronze beat Austrailia with 7-6-3 and nearly beat USA 6-12-7?

You want to go MMFF in this but Australia women suck at breast and fly and couldn't run the optimal lineup like the US and China. They will have the same problem tomorrow in the women’s medley relay.

Yea, digging a hole early on doesn’t seem ideal, especially puts more pressure on male swimmers

The US generally churns out dominant male swimmers, but the rest of the world has clearly caught up. There's a non-zero chance the US leaves Paris without an individual gold medal by a male swimmer. I don't think that has happened in my lifetime.

Bobby Fink is our last hope. He's about to swim now.

Ok, so USA and Australia are tied at 7 golds. Overall swimming medal total stands at 26 for the USA and 17 for Oz. Two more races to go.

Saves the US streak of winning at least one gold in an individual male swimming event, every Olympics since 1904.

So this Paris Olympics better than the one in 1900.

The problem with the Chinese testing is that so far, WADA has deferred to the Chinese testing authority. I still think they are dirty.

You're not the only one. There has been a lot of concerns regarding WADA from folks that are in a place to know things.

I'm confident the carpet will be pulled and the roaches will be discovered regarding China and it's cheating ways.

Wait, WADA will defer to the testing results of a nation?  Isn't that undercutting the whole point of having a "world" anti doping agency?

It's from SI, so... but it does break down pretty clearly why Pan's record is crazy and some other Chinese swimming shenanigans

Pan's Cheating Ways, no not the bully goat flute player

The Russians tested their athletes and there was no issue at all.
