Sadly Agalman disappointed a bit, and didn't reach to qualify into the small finals with the other Marocchine athlete. Not Arab NOC at medals after day 2.

What upset 

Agalman won the small finals and won the 1st Arab medal of the Games!

Apparently only one relay for NOC was able to win a medal in triathle mixed event. So silver for Italy and bronze for Egypt @Olympian1010

That’s some prime bullshit right there. I hate when organizers do that.

Just watched the replay this evening, and wow, that was an unexpected triumph 

 

By far the best ceremony for a “Beach Games” I’ve seen. It really is a shame this event isn’t making many waves (pun intended). It’s got a great results system, accessible broadcasting, and a remarkable opening ceremony.

I think that the only big problem of this games is the schedule. It's crazy have 1-2 medals event in the frist day (on weekend!) and have +15 events tomorrow.

WTF happened in men's kata?  Silver olympic medallist and plus time European Champion Damián Quintero lost in the boot against the 22yo Romero.

Quintero "relegated" to the bronze medal match.

Morning session is over, Romero won the men's kata.

Beach sprint rowing session rescheduled for tomorrow.

Marocco defeated France 2-0 in beach soccer and qualify for bronze medal match. 

Quite complicate situation in group B, where everyone could qualify to final.
