Guys for doubles from the same country if they win medal for their country , the medal will be counted to the country or also mixed NOC ? 

 

There isn't official table but in Wikipedia at least they are counting medals for a nation (in events which also involve mixed teams) as long as the team is only made up by nationals. I suppose tennis doubles will be the same.

 how many medallists in swimming/athletics from here would have won medals at the 2014 youth olympic games with their performances? Probably not many ...

 

Well, I compared the gold medalists in swimming and 2018 "wins" 19-16. We will see athletics.

Is the Gymnastics venue sharing with weightlifting?

 

No, both are in olympic park but in different places. Gymnastics is in "America pavilion", Weightlifting in "Europe Pavilion".

It made no sense to play without keeper after 3-1. They were so obsessed about first place in the group that now they will probably lose everything.

 

But oh well, one lost medal chance doesn't matter because we had almost perfect day in every other sport 

[LDOG 2,199]

Conceded 2 goals without keeper...

So I believe the Argentine channels Deportv and Publico TV broadcasted some weightlifting and canoe today, but I would an Argentine user to confirm. If there was coverage (however little) I will try to get a recording for the Replay list

 

I have no idea, I haven't followed those channels too much. Compared to tyc sports those channels just follow the official broadcast a lot more (tyc sports take their own cameras to events that don't have official broadcast whenever there is an argentinian athlete).

Our boy in shot put just threw a huge PB  (over 40cm better than his old PB before today) to win the 1st stage.

Some sailing windsurf results:

 Bronze

 

Girls

 Gold

 Silver

 Bronze

 

Two 4th places for Israel.

 

Nacra will have medal race tomorrow and  leads by 10 points. Only a 6th place or lower could prevent winning the gold.

That's what it is. 70m is used at the Olympics

 

I may have misheard though, because in spanish 60 and 70 sound similar ("sesenta" and "setenta"). Sorry in the case i was wrong

I found the scores for the boys to be quite high. For ex. the Sri Lankan archers on was 630, and he got 667 in qualification? 

 

Oh, you mean that. I heard on tv that the target distance is 60m (is that the usual? no idea) but I have no idea how many arrows they shoot though.

Are the archery competition rules the same as at the Olympics?

 

Why you ask? 

 

From what I see the individual events are the same as always.

Zambia won against Australia in hockey  quarterfinalswtf

Loving the reinvention of hockey ..... hockey5s is such fun , faster quicker, emphasis is on skills of stick work , dribbling rather than getting penalties 

 

I don't like the use of boards. Many of the less skilled teams just bash the ball forward hoping one of their players will sprint to the ball faster and get a lucky goal. Usain Bolt could become a great hockey player with that.

Wow shared gold between Argentina and Germany in Bmx Freestyle 

 

Great performance from our boy.

Yeah I've got that wrong, thought it was just BMX racing that was mixed teams. So no medals just for women but Germany, Argentina and Japan are the only countries that can now win medals in the mixed team event anyway!

 

The color if medals will probably not change either, the german boy is very superior to the rest and the argentinian boy is also clear second

In the new BMX Freestyle event that will debut in Tokyo Germany have just won gold in the Women's event, silver, Japan bronze.

 

In our tv they talk like it's a mixed event, that is, that the scored of the boy and girl of each country is added and there is one set of medals to be awarded.

and we have chance only for two more (Crevar at 400 freestyle in swimming and one in karate). But i'm not sure that we will win both One would be great.

 

What is her PB in 400?  

Our swimmer who usually has under 4:10 is injured, so I think she could fall from the podium.

I just came back from Rowing venue. And indeed I brought luck to  

 

 

Oh, and I also met a certain champion, from a certain sport, from a certain year...

I remember you writing that Brazil was doing terrible during the first week of the 2016 Olympics, and now Argentina has not had luck in the first few days so far... Is this a curse for South American Olympic hosts? 

 

Maybe it is. So far all 50/50 stuff hasn't gone in our favor. 

 

Buuut, deeper cause is probably economic strain and cuts in sport funding.

[LDOG 2,199]

I will be visiting the rowing venue tomorrow, one of the nicest venues. 

 

Hopefully it will bring good luck to our team.

This actually seems to work pretty well and I see there's a whole bunch of other videos and live streams as well there  

 

Muchos gracias

 

Yes, but you must know that this channel heavily focuses on argentinian performances. So, if there isn't one of our own in a competition, there is little chance they show it.

Thanks, I doubt it'll be easy to find a replay for what was shown on tyc sports, so I'll just check the results  

 

does this one work for you?

I'll tell you if I see they upload something else.

Same question about the rowing  

 

I'm asking because if there was no stream (meaning there won't be a video on demand replay neither) I'll check the results, but else I'll wait so I can watch spoiler-free  

 

There is no official stream for rowing. However, the channel that has rights here (tyc sports) broadcasted the finals today with their own cameras (and will also broadcast tomorrow because there are good argentinian chances).
