Damn 9.8 from :TTO Paul in the sprint qualification. That is definitely good enough for Olympic participation. I’ve been watching these guys come up the ranks the last few years and it’s been awesome. On a sadder note @mrv86, both Mexican men were eliminated in sprint qualifications.

That's why I never support Cuba in any sport (but I support a few individuals). They are arrogant, like to play the victim and prone to cheap tricks to get referees do their bidding. I'm so used of seeing that at Central American and Caribbean level, that, any gold taken from them is a smile for me.

What an exaggeration. The brazilian boxer himself said he was not offended, understands that it is the cuban fighting style. Even the cuban spoke very well of the Brazilian after the fight.

Well our track sprinters suck... our main chance for another medal in cycling will be both madison events and the women's omnium.

I have made my opinion in the last 17 years. I'm not lying, Cuban sportspeople in general have no respect for sportmanship or fairness when things don't go the way they like.

Do I remind you the sad spectacle of Valodia's kick to the referee at the 2008 Olympic Games?

 

Like I say, there are a fair number of Cuban athletes whose performances speak for themselves, and which I admire, but in combat sports or appreciation sports I really don't support them.

The rhythmic gymnastics judges are taking forever to release the scores and they seem to be completely lost. I fear for the outcome of the competition if this is the quality of judges they have selected.

I know, why the hell are they taking so long. The competition will drag on forever.

    • It's Australian Nationals that Ceccon will be competing at where he'll be allowed in the A Final. Trials aren't until June.   I'm quite excited to see what times he puts up and hope he doesn't scratch any events from his huge program (100/200 FR, 50/100/200 BK, 50/100 FL).

    • Good start for Canada. Cuba seems to be our biggest threat.   Unlike the men, the United States women don't seem to be progressing. Still a few years until the Olympics.
    • Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1.   Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi.   there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former.   Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo.   I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building).   So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.

    • After the first period of today's game against Spain, I had a small hope the team could fight for a medal; but it seems they will instead contest the relegation.
