So the other teams can get autographs from their favorite players. The NBA is so charitable.

It's a ****ing mess. The games are like shooting practice and a big photo opt.

With all heats wrapped up this morning, there's only one semi-final to take care of: Women's 50m Freestyle on which Dutch swimmer Ranomi Kromowidjojo is on the race for her second Gold medal for tomorrow's finals. USA's Cullen James is fighting for the Men's 50m Freestyle Gold but has fierce competition from Brazil's Cesar Cielo and fellow Anthony Ervin.

The Most Decorated Olympian Of All Times, Michael Phelps is after his 21st medal, which could possibly be his 17th Gold. It all depends on how much of a fight South Africa's Chad Le Clos puts on for the tittle and prevents Phelps from a victory on his signature stroke for the second time. The show-down is for Men's 100m Butterfly.

Elizabeth Beisel and Missy Franklin are up against each other for Women's 200m Backstroke. The Gold is most likely to go to USA, but who will be the athlete carrying it?

After failing to retain the Women's 400m Freestyle tittle, GBR's Rebecca Adlington is back to defend her second Beijing tittle: Women's 800m Freestyle. Without Schmitt and Muffat on her way she stands high chances for a victorious finale.

Now, Men's 100m Butterfly. Swim you best Phelps and Le Clos!

[fabian_phipps]

UK's peak will most likely be #3 on the medals table. China and USA are just so far ahead with the Golds. ... We are ****ting in these past 2 days though.

I have a very good feeling about Jessica Ennis.

Phelps adds another to his everlasting collection.

Missy shaving almost a second off the WR and more than a second off her PB, but she is not Chinese so no one will accuse her of anything

[Jay Park]

I'm not gonna watch another swimming event for the rest of the games. I'm tired of hearing about Phelps.

Adlington better step up if she wants to keep her tittle.
