Some good swims by Americans this morning. Woman's road race and some others going on. Of note, they've suspended rowing for high winds.

Fuck. She needed 5 more seconds on that climb and she'd probably be wearing gold

And also, what's up with Dan Patrick? I noticed it last night, he's awfully shaky. The microphone's moving all around. Did I miss a diagnoses ?

Dan Patrick just announced that there are unconfirmed reports from the Dutch team that she is okay. They really didn't need to replay that crash tho....

Usually the last swimming event of the night. So somewhere around 9:45 EST I think.....

Nbcsports has ger-kor tied at 2, but the announcer sounds like he's doing a bob Costas impression

Watching GBR-Fiji in Sevens. That Fiji possession to get the tying try early was wonderful, a great example of what is so cool about Rugby Sevens. Same rules, but a fast game and an emphasis on speed and athleticism that is easier for people that aren't big Rugby fans to appreciate. And Britain answers back. Good stuff.

Men's indoor volleyball. It feels like the entire game comes down to successfully blocking a spike, but many times only 2 guys out of 6 are attempting to block. Ton of service errors as well. I think the service errors by team USA are the difference they've lost by so far.
