Swimming

One of the two marquee sports at the Games, swimming is ubiquitous with the Olympics here in the United States. It’s one of the sports the United States must dominate at in order to have a chance in the medals race. What I didn’t realize until writing this was exactly how good China has become at this sport. They are starting to take back medals that were easily American. So, the USA may not have the chance to stock up golds in the pool like they have in the past.
