And LOL to le Clos finishing fourth. (I actually like Chad but after all the posturing it's a little bit ironic that he ended up off the medal stand.) Frankly, I don't love the post race posturing, but if you're going to condone le Clos for the pre-race stuff, you can't bash Phelps for exulting for a moment in his win.

Missy Franklin was the It Girl of swimming from about 2011-2013 but has been quietly battling back injuries since then.
