The USA declined its quotas in women's epee fencing, weird. @Olympian1010any idea why?

Nope, that’s another sport the USOPC originally had athletes in as far as I know.

Don't know what can do anymore other than win gold medals in unexpected events. They have a chance today with Surfing.

we can expect maximum 2 golds in athletism, maybe sailing and 2-3 gold in other events, so 10 to 12 golds with be the maximum expected

 

I feel a little dissapointed but not that much...chilean athletes don' work that well under pressure

Does today’s schedule feel “slow” to people as well? Yesterday got a bit hectic again, and now we’re back to only a couple of medals being awarded.

Of course not. I'm just curious if this is setting the tone for athletics this week.

 

By the way, the last time women's discus was won with a mark less than 60m was Caracas 1983. Guadalajara had similar short marks, and was only held two days earlier in the season.

The announcer thinks Dylan French of Canada is French (calling him Frenchman)

Canada denies the home country a gold medal for the second time today.
