I'm sure you are so disappointed that Simone Biles didn't win vault :P

I couldn't stop crying, but for a completely different reason.

Completed. Surely most of us expected rhythmic gymnastics to go to the Russians but they won neither.

Heh, I guess I avoided RG and got 5/5. Artistic Swimming always seemed like the sport where the gold is more set in stone until the end of time and I didn't want to have 4  gold medals as the safest.

Mixed Team Judo was completely avoided as well and most would have gone with Japan there.

I still can’t get over how Japan lost that with the success they had in the individual events.

Not their best day but also we shouldn't forget Shohei Ono didn't get onto the mat to have his fight.

Also some extra motivation for the French to make Riner win another gold after not winning the individual.
