Olympics Aug 7 Evening Session Live Thread + Live Reactions at 7pm ET

US distance runners...JUICED...how many medals in Worlds just a year ago?

He's not a virgin. He got married recently.

Rooks is so gritty. I thought he might lose it at the last water pit, but he somehow held on.

Hope Girma is ok. For people who diss the steeple ... it's no joke of an event.

WHO CARES?? IT WORKED!

Hocker was at least given an outside chance by SOME track commentators and hardcore fans who had a clear understanding of how it could happen. Very few if anyone saw this playing out as it did. "The Move" by Rooks should go down in history. Balls.

That was even more unexpected than Frerichs

All 3 medalists did really well

El Bakkali proved he's the best right now and high, high up there all time in the event

Rooks stunning silver after going for the gold

Kibiwott keeps Kenya's medal streak alive and shows he can peak for biggest race of the year again

Just hope Girma is okay, brutal fall

The us men have a medal in every track race thus far

Let's keep GIrma in our thoughts. That was a terrible crash.

“That person” and “that Ethiopian” is the freaking world record holder. That was a brutal fall.

MF KUNG FU KENNY ROOKS THOUGH

So that’s why his balls are so big.

Link to the previous weird interview?

The prison is called "The Walls".

Cool rockabilly song about it:

And vice-versa. Rooks looked over at El Bakkali at one point and looked like he had no idea why he was next to him.

Girma absolutely smacked the side of his head against the tartan. That's a bad concussion at best, maybe a TBI or worse. Poor guy.

Reminded me of Mackays move from indoors, very decisive.

I don't know why, but I was laughing all the way through that final lap when Rooks took the lead. I thought he'd completely burgled the gold. Amazing run from him, but El Bakkali is inevitable, the steeple GOAT

You know he's married right?

Between Hocker and Nuguse, and now Rooks, I have never seen American guys just WILLING themselves to medals.
