I've mostly been watching this with the sound off. Why are the medal winners being presented with a pencil case as well as their medal?

More serious question: how do the skateboarders add more energy to their runs? If it's just the potential energy of their starts, they wouldn't be able to complete their runs. I suspect that it's something to do with knee action, but it does seem to go against Newton's Laws.

Still watching with the sound off, it becomes painfully obvious how Clare Balding and her guests wave thie hands around while talking. It looks so bizarre! I simply never do it.

Commentary not science? Hmm.

Olympics long over, but here is a stunning WR in the 3000m:
Ingebritsen smashed the legendary Komen time by 3 seconds!

Edit: Ingebrigtsen

Yes, I saw this Geeker and was shocked he was able to knock more than 3 seconds off Komen's record.

It makes me wonder if he'll attempt to break Cheptegei's 5000m WR, although Ingebrigsten's PB is some way off.
