Lrrr Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Reading the concern after 60 odd people accredited to the games return positive tests, this is what happens when you don’t get people over there early enough to isolate before competing.

Admin phantom Posted July 20, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Admittedly I wasn't paying complete attention but I can't see why the Australian lady that won Wimbledon isn't staying at the athletes village Seems odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She isn't the only one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, as someone who potters up and down a 25m pool 3 times a week, I am in awe of all the swimmers, but he is exceptional. That time today means he has the 16 fastest times in 100m breast stroke history, let that sink in............... 16 times he has swum faster than any of his rivals, unbeaten for 7 years, it's incredible how dominant he is.
