Meh. Panama and Suriname took no medals in taekwondo. Nicaragua is losing all of their 1541320 quarterfinals in boxing. And so on.

 

If I recall correctly, qualification tournament was in Nicaragua, that's how they got so many quotas. Now we see the reality...

Rugby 7s, Beach Volleyball, Basketball 3x3 ... Brazil has the worst psychological in the world. We can only trust that Brazil will win when it definitely wins.

 

From those, I only expected a bronze in Rugby sevens and maybe a bronze in Beach volleyball. Brazil is either not great at these sports, or have a weak team here (beach volley). You don't get a medal just for showing up.

Three easy gold medals lost: Casado in artistic roller skating, Isquias and Erlom in sprint canoeing and Avancinin in mountain bike.

I hope artistic gymnastics does not disappoint today. It should be an easy gold medal too.

 

Casado wasn't a easy gold medal, the others maybe.

 

I don't know about Gymnastics, it seems we'll win silver or bronze.

And you can bet your ass this is gonna be mentioned and/or referenced in every single social media post for the next few years as 'historic' and whatnot. Marketing galore.

 

Don't think so. She probably doesn't even know this :p

I really do not understand how and why they give two bronzes in poomsae.

 

I think it's to match the Kyorugi events. But it's really ridiculous considering: 1- they basically give a bronze medal for the 4th best athlete; 2- there are only 6 entries in each Poomsae event, so more than half win a medal.

What a frustrating day for Canada. No golds. Three gold medals awarded today were won by Canadians in 2015 and not this time. Im pretty sure this will be Canada's worst games in terms of overall placement.

 

It's too early to say anything. The only thing we know for sure is that USA will top the medal table :p

This is one of the most outrageous things I've seen in my life. The Brazilian did not deserve a medal at all. The Paraguayan deserved it. I'm really frustrated here. Poor guy.

 

I'll go further and even say he deserved silver. Heartbreaking for him.

The one thing I remember from those Games opening is the kid hitting the baseball on fire to lit the cauldron, A la Barcelona

 

The one thing I remember from that opening ceremony is this:
