Well, I know that all of this started because of AP's actions, but I'm happy for her too. You think that some Brazilians were toxic to Brandie, but you don't know what they can do to their own people. She suffered a lot in Tokyo 2020 and this response now must have been a relief for her.
As she said in an interview yesterday: "When you talk (Brazilians) now, also say that we gave our blood to be Olympic champions for you."
ExpandBut it's not illegal, even though maybe it should be? We see this play time and time again nowadays.
Well, it's a shame that a rule that causes so much confusion is in operation. But this is the Volleyball World. 
Expand@hoversaBR congrats!
Think that call on Ana Patricia on SP was a bit iffy, very clearly was an illegal push, but it is what it is.
I can't say I'm sad, but I agree with you. And this isn't something exclusive to this game, unfortunately VW has lost control of this type of action. Bizarre.
Yeaaaaaaaaahhh 
ExpandOdds on them smiling at least once during the match?
(kidding, sort of)
Congrats, even though you probably know I don’t like you know who
I think she has improved her behavior a lot in the last few years.
Good luck to Canada in the gold medal match. If you win, I will be happy too. 
P.S:
After the result of our indoor women's team, I don't want to see any more smiles. 
Now this swedish team plays well, why did they have to lose two games at the beginning and take away our chance of a medal in the men's competition? 
Today is our unlucky day. At least Duda/Ana Patricia aren't playing today.
Another pathetic performance from Andre/George. Deserved elimination.
I think it's the worst Duda match I've ever watched. Well, we can't win everything, right?
I think it's strange that Pedro/Guto (definitely the weakest and oldest of the 4) was our pair that got the furthest in this tournament. Well, at least it represents the current moment of our men's beach volleyball.

Alison and Guto no longer play together. Alison now plays with Alvaro Filho and Guto plays with Leo. And these two pairs, as well as Evandro/Vinicius, are very recent to participate in this tournament.
No pair from the United States in the men's. 
First time I see 1 vs 3 in beach volleyball. 
Poor Rebeca, she played a lot! 
Now we only have one male team.
Brazil's biggest disappointment in Tokyo. 
My God... This second team from Brazil is very bad.
Of course Agatha and Duda are still a good team, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't win a medal in this sport this Olympics.

Today was terrible indeed. In women's only our 5th best pair remains (4th if we only count the teams here); in Men's, only our 2nd and 4th best pairs. I seriously believe we won't win a single medal this time
It is very strange to see Brazil without a medal in beach volleyball. Disappointing, but natural, bad tournaments happen for everyone.
Anyway nothing has changed for Tokyo. 2 medal chances in the women's tournament and, for now, 0 medal chances in the men's tournament.
Only one Brazilian pair in the quarterfinals in the women's competition. Disappointing performance, especially that was our worst pair who managed to qualify.
Hopefully we will win a medal at least because I do not believe in a medal in the men's competition.
ExpandFor those who are interested (@heywoodu), Alison will play with André, which was world champion last year with Evandro - they just won a title in the world tour this past weekend!
This move by André has been seen as pretty shitty and Evandro is clearly pissed (in portuguese).
What a mess. I think CBV should control that. End the partnership without giving satisfactions or reasons. A pity, the duo was a medal in Tokyo. I hope Evandro gets over this well.
Bronze!! Finally Larissa and Talita won a medal. Anyway, this was a not very good championship for Brazil, only two pairs in the Quarterfinals.
Brazil won the two gold medals in the U21 World Championship Our future in beach volleyball is very well.
In the first set of the Men's Final, we were losing by 14-20, and we won the set by 22-20.
Fortunately a win, after so much defeat today.

Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format. -
1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. -

Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. -

It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum. Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of. With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free. -

Will they do a swim-off? The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet. -

Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores. -
I'll give it a shot. On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free. James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable. Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55 Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them. The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore. Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59 On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances. Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free. The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91) Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86) Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14) Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400 Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.

In the quarterfinal match, she was sick, if I'm not mistaken she even left in a wheelchair. Obviously, her performance in that match was horrible.
Well, many brazilians didn't wait for this information before attacking the athlete. She received many hate messages, asking her to stop competing and some even more extreme than that (if you know what I mean).
