Securing his place as one of the biggest stars of the Tokyo Olympics, Caeleb Dressel won his fourth gold medal with a victory in the 50-meter freestyle Sunday.

When the 24-year-old Floridian saw his time and, more important, the "1" beside his name, he splashed the water and flexed his bulging arms.

I was thinking about the Olympics today and reflecting on how nice it was the the US Soccer Team got it's ass kicked.

I guess that means we've heard the last of that purple-haired, carpet munching America hating Rampinoe bitch.

I can hardly imagine any sponsor of any product is going to want a loser as it's spokesperson.

Perhaps you were thinking of an earlier match that didn’t count in the medal standings. They just beat the Netherlands yesterday and the purple haired freak scored the winning penalty kick.
Wouldn’t have minded seeing them lose. Maybe Monday against Canada.

This would have been funny if the foreign press had unwittingly written "Florida Man".

“he splashed the water and flexed his bulging arms”
