    What the hell was that? That looked like he never intended to compete at all.

    Went out in 2:56, and couldn't at least close a little off that??

    Struck me as one of the worst Olympic bit-spitting cases we've seen in a long while.

    Worse than Michael Norman in Tokyo; worse than Sydney in Rio.

    Man, unless there's some serious mitigating factor, that was bad.

    If that's what you're gonna do with this incredible privilege/opportunity, for Chrissake stay home and let Jaeger run. I guarantee you he would've performed a HELL of a lot better than this.

    Checked in at the back of the pack and pretty much stayed there. 8:36.67. Gotta wonder what his strategy was (stay out of trouble and hope that 5 of the athletes would do mass suicide into the water jump?).

    Or maybe guy that had run an absurd number of PRs just to get to the games was fried after extending his season 2 months past its expected finish.

    Yeah, maybe, but he had several weeks to rest, recover, and taper after he hit the standard, right? And this just looked a total non-effort.

    With a coach like Eyestone, it's a little hard for me to believe he'd go into the Olympics so completely destroyed that 8:36 was his legit best effort.

    This Italian woman is going to have a stressful couple hours. Leigh Diffey naming her a bronze medalist but also recognizing that an appeal could undo that.

    So, the appeal did overturn the initial decision. Granted, just because Diffey suggested she could wind up with bronze, she and her team probably kept that idea out of there heads until the appeal was completed.

    It's good on the broadcast that Kara mentioned the Italian in tears would have to wait for confirmation cause there was an appeal coming. They didn't say anything about the DQ being in doubt on the Peacock feed.
