<p>That Ryan Lochte robbery story is getting weirder and weirder. Latest seems to be that when they went through Olympic village security, he had his missing wallet.</p>
</div>

<p>Ryan Lochte is a dimwitted idiot so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he either exaggerated the truth, or just made the whole thing up as a way of getting attention. He had some ridiculous reality TV show a while back where he came across as an A-hole of the highest order.</p> -
<p>Three big wins so far in the Men's basketball QF's. Aussies looked sharp with some quality defence. Lithuania is one of those teams when they get a little behind or in foul trouble they drop their heads and are susceptible to big losses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Impressed with the US this morning. Probably their best game defensively. This helped some of the guys pick it up offensively, particularly KD.</p> -
<p>So the hockey girls freeze in the big moment again. I hope Richie didn't give the pre-match talk otherwise he will be confined to the hotel for the next game. If not, why the hell not have him do the talk? He can uncork his version of the RWC 2011 talk ;)</p>

<p>Women's long jump on at the moment, and it's pretty bad. Are the conditions suss? I've never seen a top level event with so many mis-jumps, fouls, and stutter steps in it. It's like no one wants to make the top 8</p>

<p>How about the American girl who overstepped by about a metre? FFS...</p> -
<p>at least a few of them are cute...</p>

<p>I've had a bit of a nasty feeling all tournament that another fourth is on the cards - which would be bloody gutting for the hockey girls who have been there or thereabouts for the past four years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Germans beat us in pool play and the score flattered us - we'll need to play a lot better than we did that day and today.</p>

<p>Don't let it happen Black Chicks! </p> -
<p>haha Bolt and de Grasse laughing at each other as they crossed the line was great. like a couple of kids having a race in the back yard.</p>

<p>Apparently the two swimmers who were with Lochte have just been pulled off their plane at Rio airport.</p> -
<p>What happened to Blake? He was nowhere in the 100m, and now hasn't even made the final of the 200m, which was his best even 4 years ago</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No one in those semis looked a patch on Bolt. Fastest semi and he cruised the last 50m</p>

<p>Jamaica wins the women's 200 over the rapid dutch woman</p> -
<p>American girl jumps a PB to win the long jump. The Serbian in 3rd was pretty hot. </p>
-
<p>because it's the semi. Did you see his interview? He was asking the Canadian guy what he was doing? It's just the semi!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They'll probably get 1-2 in the final as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can he find 3 mates quick enough to win the relay as well?</p> -

<p>she looks better there than she did this morning. The jaw seems to round off when she smiles. (did you see her very good show throw when the result was official, impressively pissed at herself)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I still absolutely would though</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually, watching the games, it is no wonder they all root like rabbits. So many hot fit people easing off after years of prep, it would be all go. lucky bastards. </p> -
