For the first time ever  has won gold in 2 different sports at the same Olympics

 

Also the first time we’ve had both men and women win a gold medal at the same time 

 

Only our 11th time winning gold

There’s been one British doomsayer who’s gone very quiet the last couple of days despite talking non stop all week about how this would be a disaster for GB

San Marino now has one medal for every 11000 people.

60% of the team winning medals is something else too

Last night I got about 9 hours sleep. That’s about the same as the previous 3 nights combined. I’ve managed to get an early evening nap in most days thankfully

 

Tonight might be my last long night!

And now we have sound. Lovely

I’m glad GB only sent 22 athletes. This feels like it will be a Covid super spreading incident.

I am shocked you have this opinion

Uzbekistan outfits look like flight attendants from Irish airline Aer Lingus

Similar number of Irish on this bus. Waved off by even more

Maybe it’s because all the sub licensed European broadcasters are showing it live too

[dodge 732]

More stuff available when you sort schedule by NOC now too. Swimming heats added as well as boxing, taekwondo and judo today 

[dodge 732]

It won’t matter in the end.  Some countries have lost medals to poor judging. Some because of injured or ill athletes. Even freak weather has impacted results in some events. 
 

There are literally hundreds of factors at play and COVID is just another one.

I hope that these cases wont multiply but chances are slim.

Already 17 pages here at Totallympics.

More pages than cases…

Russian swimmer Ilya Borodin  is out of the Olympics due to a positive test

No surprise that the first medal contenders to test positive for something is Russian

As more info is filtered into the system, the website allowing you to look up your NOC's schedule is more useful now.

 

For example they were very quick to add the rowing heats in.

The headline gracenote figures are out. Don’t think they can be drilled down unless you’re a subscriber.

I mean if they are already there and the IOC gave plenty of Universities places and invitations to athletes why not just give them the chance?, I truly feel sorry for those who were told to go back home

I definitely feel sorry for the swimmers but other nations have had to cut their numbers so it would set a terrible precedent if they allowed the Polish team to bring whoever they wanted

 

I posted earlier that Ireland very nearly made the same mistake. We're using a backstroke sprinter and a breast stroker to fill out our 4x200m freestyle team as we could only use 2 relay only spots and none of our freestylers got an invite

The app allows sorting by NOC but so far it only has the team events in. Hopefully it includes heats etc as draws are made
