The Rio Farce, Day 9: Can Someone Get the Number on that Lightning Strike in Lane 8?

Van Niekerk, breaking the 17 year-old Michael Johnson World Record tonight in the 400 final at 43.03!  Wow.
  • Australia has officially banned it's athletes from going out to the beaches at night.  Also, they are now also not allowed to go on foot, for any distance, at the Olympic venues.  (Several sources, saw on Yahoo! and SI.com)
  • The reason?  Four American swimmers, including Ryan Lochte, were reported held up last night at gunpoint.  Wallet and cash stolen, that was all that was sought.  (Deadspin)
And now, if you will excuse me, THE MAIN EVENT...
