So much for NBC's "she's OK" report.

I watched the wreck, and I am not surprised at all about the extent of her injuries. My worry was for her C-Spine.

That was a nasty crash. I thought it looked really bad when they cut back to her and she was laying motionless with her head on that curb. It looked like she had the potential for a broken neck or even a fatal injury. I'm glad she's relatively ok.
 
Serena Williams seems to be holding her own against a fiesty French opponent, Cornet. I'd like to see her medal here at Rio.

Australia's Mack Horton calls China's Sun Yang a drug cheat - CNN.com

Hong Kong (CNN)Australia has refused to apologize after an Olympic swimmer sparked outrage by accusing China's Sun Yang of being a "drug cheat."

Speaking to the media after beating Sun by a mere .16 of a second to win the 400m freestyle gold , Mack Horton described his win as one "for the good guys."
Prior to the race, Horton said Sun, who served a three-month ban for testing positive for a banned substance in 2014, was a "drug cheat."

I'm so used to America winning at everything, I forget that in some countries people have to watch just one sport in the hopes of a win.

We'll since you have a huge unsunstainable population and are willing to thrust your country into debt for just about anything, no wonder you win. ;-) To be fair, your women's 7's team finished 5th and that's not winning.
