If it wasn’t mentioned alumni’s Blake Pieroni and Zach Apple brought home gold in the 400 FR and Lilly King got a bronze in the 100 breast. 🔴🔴️ #Represent

Watching an Olympic athlete do an interview with a mask on is just..... gahhhhh. So dumb. 

That last race was incredible though. The American was in 5th place (by a fairly decent margin) at the final turn in the 800 and was still quite a bit back with just 25 meters left and then surged for the Gold! It was crazy!

Don’t you pretend you were paying attention to the score. 😏

I absolutely was (it's a slow night here at the office).  Aside from that, I don't think I've seen an underwater shot in water polo yet.  I read earlier that NBC was going to make a conscious effort to stymie all the pervs who watch women's Olympic sports for {cough} {cough} questionable reasons.
