Tennis. That's probably all I'll watch but since it's on Bravo from 9:30am-10:00pm not much time for anything else.
So happy to see Rafa back on the court today, and he looks to be playing great!

Absolutely incredible!

I watched a little of the swimming late last night on the Canadian broadcast but I have been working in yard all day so I have not seen any of it today.

Always a 'raised eyebrow' when bones are broken.
Too many drugs.
If one puts enough torque on any bone, it will snap.
Drugs have nothing to do with it.
The classic sign of steroid use is broken bones.
The muscles get stronger & stronger & the bones strength can't keep up. That's when those bad fractures occur.
Torque? Those gymnasts have been doing those same moves a zillion times since they were 2yrs old. Muscle/bone strength should be established....until something tips the ratio...ie steriods/drugs. Raised eyebrow, indeed.
@sidsmom I am in no position to say whether it was steroid induced but it does appear that this young man perhaps was not built for Olympic level competition as he broke his other leg in a similar fashion. Given his size and no one picked up on this with the original incident (in terms of testing for steroids) I would think maybe he is very talented but just not able to perform at the Olympic level:
