For the first time tonight I felt the great and overpowering dread of realization that the Olympics are almost over. Fortunately 2 a.m. women’s water polo is here to comfort me. Water polo is so weird. You just swim to one end of the pool with a volleyball and then try to drown someone, then you swim to the other end of the pool with the volleyball and try to drown someone. Occasionally someone throws the volleyball. Earlier in this Olympics, we learned that the men’s teams are basically just constantly pantsing each other the whole time. The women don’t seem to be doing that, but they’re probably just all glad they were allowed to wear pants in the first place.

Not much movement in the Leadboard today, but it is updated. Big day tomorrow with Simone back on the beam, and Roy from The Office competing in shot put.
