But I’m not an expert, so you can tell me I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmo 180 Posted July 27, 2020 #343 Share Posted July 27, 2020 What is everyone looking forward to on day 4? For me: Women’s team gymnastics final, softball final, women’s triathlon & swimming finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,977 Posted July 27, 2020 #344 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Women’s triathlon should be a very rare gold medal chance for (That’s Bermuda, btw). First since 1972, I think. Also strong chances for & . bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col_Frost 179 Posted July 27, 2020 #345 Share Posted July 27, 2020 For me it's again canoe slalom. I just love this sport same as triathlon, so women's run would be also very important for me. Besides that I believe rowing. First finals and already two chances for medal for Same reason for women's epee and even women's MTB (Włoszczowska woudn't be a favorite but maybe some bronze, who knows). rafalgorka and bmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCB 521 Posted July 28, 2020 #347 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Day 4, another day with a lot of Dutch athletes. The second match of our handball women and hockey women (both world champion). But the main focus from a Dutch point of view today is on rowing, the finals of the Men's and Women's Quadruple sculls. Hopefully they can medal both. Other interesting events for me to look forward to are the 200m freestyle swimming (men), triathlon (women) and MTB (women). What a day!!! rafalgorka and bmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,446 Posted July 28, 2020 Author #348 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I would start with women's triathlon if I don't oversleep. Then rowing finals - it looks like we are all going to watch quadruple finals - Poland has its chances for medals here, too. Both in men's and women's races. And I wonder how the views at rowing and canoeing venue will look like - it will be hard to find something more spectaculiar than Rio, with Christ the Redimeer and all the mountains around, but who knows ;-) Then swimming finals obviously - men's 200 free above all - Sun Yang launched an appeal but I do hope that it won't be successful and we will not see him in Tokyo next year. Anyway, it should be another open race, like 400 Then women's K1 slalom and MTB finals, but they are on the same time - some bad schedulling here Then some fencing - Polish women's epee team has some chances for medal - there will be only 8 teams, so with some luck... who knows... And finally women's artistic gymnastics team - it's a pity Romania is not as good as before, I was usually supporting them. In a spare time - rugby and maybe some tennis or beach volleyball I hope after day 4 Poland will have its first medal at least - if not in judo, then in rowing. But still no gold I'm afraid. PS. I do like this discussion, but writing this makes me sad somehow ;-) what if... bmo and CCB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,446 Posted July 28, 2020 Author #349 Share Posted July 28, 2020 OFF-TOPIC: Are you reading any good sports books now? I have just finished The Olympics of 1972 by Richard D. Mandell - quite good one. Having lazy time now - I'm on vacation which should be olympics-tv-vacation, but instead... ehh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
