1. Shericka Jackson JAM

2. Sha'Carri Richardson USA
3. Marie-Josee Ta Lou CIV

 

First great controversy of the games. Jackson and Richardson finish with the same time. Jackson announced as a winner but Team USA make a protest because photo-finish shows a gap so small (or no gap at all as NBC says) that Phelps vs Cavic one can be considered as extremely large. Protest unsuccessfull though. US Team gets mad. Mr. Bach speaks some stupid words at press conference. Richardson crying a lot but finally says - see you at 200 and then we will destroy Jamaica in the relay. Ewa Swoboda smoothly in a final this time, no unnecessary semi-final drama. And then 7th with nice PB. Ta Lou eventually gets her ind medal partly due to JAM controversial false-start in the semis. Uff...

1. Ivana Vuleta SRB

2. Malaika Mihambo GER

3. Alina Rotaru-Kottmann ROU

220. ATHLETICS - M Javelin Throw

 

1. Neeraj Chopra IND

2. Jakub Vadlejch CZE

3. Julian Weber GER

 

Tough victory for Chopra. Vadlejch leading until last round but massive 6th throw by Chopra and he gets his 2nd olympic gold. Two other Indian athletes in top 8. Pakistani Nadeem 7th.

 

221. ATHLETICS - M 200m

 

1. Noah Lyles USA

2. Letsile Tebogo BOT

222. ATHLETICS - W 400m Hurdles

 

1. Femke Bol NED

2. Rushell Clayton JAM

3. Shamier Little USA

 

When Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone says she will run 400m flat in Paris, Bol is an overwhelming favourite and she wins this one very easily, her 2nd gold in Paris after mixed relay.

 

223. ATHLETICS - M 110m Hurdles

 

1. Grant Holloway USA

2. Hansle Parchment JAM

3. Shunsuke Izumiya JPN

Huge controversy in boxing. Chinese wins but Bulgarians and almost every other in the arena are protesting loudly.

 

225. BOXING - M 51kg

 

1. Hasanboy Dusmatov UZB

2. Billal Bennama FRA

3. Thitisan Panmot THA

227. CANOE SPRINT - M K4 500m

 

1. Germany

2. Hungary

3. Australia

 

Germany wins but this race is a bit disappointing. Everything is so quick. Almost everybody say they miss K4 1000m event. A group of Czech and Slovak fans with a big sign: "Bring back 1000!".

 

228. CANOE SPRINT - W C2 500m

 

1. China

2. Canada

3. Spain

 

China wins this one. Now every gold is crucial in this CHN vs USA overall medal table rivalry.

 

229. CANOE SPRINT - W K4 500m

 

1. New Zealand

2. Poland

3. China

 

Lisa Carrington wins her 6th olympic gold medal. Medal #9 for Poland in Paris. And we have also a men's volleyball team in medal so we are in the double digits!

 

230. DIVING - M 3m Springboard

 

1. Wang Zongyuan CHN

2. Osmar Olvera MEX

3. Andrew Capobianco USA

 

Second Chinese surprisingly out in the semis, after some massive errors. Can it happen in the real world?

234. SPORT CLIMBING - M Speed

 

1. Bassa Mawem FRA

2. Samuel Watson USA

3. Matteo Zurloni ITA

 

What a shocking competition, many say. CHN and INA athletes very surprisingly out of Top 4. Marcin Dzieński POL the same.

 

235. SWIMMING - W 10km Marathon

 

1. Leonie Beck GER

2. Sharon van Rouwendaal NED

2. Hasrat Jafarov AZE

3. Joni Khetsuriani GEO

3. Mate Nemes SRB

 

243. WRESTLING GRECO-ROMAN - M 87kg

 

1. David Losonczi HUN
2. Ali Cengiz TUR

3. Zhan Beleniuk UKR

3. Jalgasbay Berdimuratov UZB

 

Losonczi wins over Istvan Takacs in an internal Hungarian battle which is quite controversial. But then he quiets the opponents winning gold in Paris. Only 3rd gold for Hungary so far, maybe I should check my predictions for Hungarian favourites once again.

 

244. WRESTLING FREESTYLE - W 53kg

 

1. Akari Fujinami JPN

2. Lucia Yepez ECU

BOXING - bronze medalists

W 75kg Lovlina Borgohain IND, Tammara Thibeault CAN

 

M 57kg Javier Ibanez Diaz BUL, Jahmal Harvey USA

 

TEAM SPORTS:

 

M FOOTBALL - Bronze Medal Game:

 

:BRA beats :ARG on penalties

 

M BASKETBALL semis:

 

:USA beats :CAN

:FRA beats :SRB

 

W HANDBALL semis:

 

:FRA beats :DEN

:NOR beats  :SWE

 

W VOLLEYBALL semis:

 

:TUR beats :SRB 3-2 match for ages

:USA beats :BRA

 

W WATER POLO semis:

 

:NED beats :ESP

:HUN beats :USA - probably biggest sensation in team sports so far. US is vulnerable in W Water Polo, they showed it 2023 WCH and now HUN team makes a sensational win as well, rather bigger sensation than ITA win vs USA in WCH. Is this one of these events where US lose gold which eventually leave them behind China in final medal table? Or they will catch China in the final weekend??? Stay tuned.

 

Day 14 Fri 09.08

 

245. ATHLETICS - W 4x100m Relay

 

1. United States

2. Jamaica

3. Ivory Coast

 

After all the 100m and 200m and all the NBC hype this is an event which will be remembered for a long time. Jamaicans don't have great first 2 changes and Sha'Carri has a nice lead beginning the anchor leg. Shericka Jackson chasing hard but comes just short. CIV doesn't mess things up like in Budapest and they get awesome bronze. GBR 4th. POL nicely 6th with great anchor leg by Ewa Swoboda.

 

246. ATHLETICS - W Shot Put

 

1. Chase Ealey USA

2. Sarah Mitton CAN

3. Auriol Dongmo POR

 

Ealey winning quite comfortably.

 

247. ATHLETICS - M 4x100m Relay

 

1. Unites States

2. Jamaica

3. Japan

 

Great run by Japanese sprinters who deny Italians, Jacobs messed things a bit this time and ITA only 4th.

 

248. ATHLETICS - W 400m

 

1. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone USA

2. Marileidy Paulino DOM

3. Natalia Kaczmarek POL

 

Great competition between McLaughlin and Paulino. Wonderful medal for POL here, absolutely amazing. Natalia with new NR - 49.21 (previous NR: 49.28 set by Irena Szewińska when she won gold in Montreal 1976). Great traditional finish by Natalia made this bronze possible. This is my "Rebeca Andrade Tokyo-Like Moment" @thiago_simoes . I cherish Polish ind running medals so much, they are so rare... Shaunae Miller-Uibo BAH back in competition but not in such a good form, and this is the main factor that leads 3rd place possible for Poland. If she was running under 49secs and McLaughlin is there, Natalia had no chances. Anyway, 4. Miller-Uibo BAH 5. Williams BAR 6. Klaver NED 7. Adeleke IRL 8. Bolingo BEL. Only one US athlete in the final but she gets gold for Team US.

 

249. ATHLETICS - M Triple Jump

 

1. Andy Diaz Hernandez ITA

2. Hugues Fabrice Zango BUR

3. Jaydon Hibbert JAM

 

Havana likes this one...

 

250. ATHLETICS - W Heptathlon

 

1. Nafissatou Thiam BEL

2. Katarina Johnson-Thompson GBR

3. Anna Hall USA

 

Hall messes things much and this lets Thiam to get 3rd olympic heptathlon gold in a row, coming back from injury. KJT very emotional in the victory lap, you rarely see anything like that.

 

251. ATHLETICS - W 10,000m

 

1. Gudaf Tsegay ETH

2. Sifan Hassan NED

3. Grace Loibach Nawowuma KEN

 

Only first gold for Ethiopia in Paris. What took them so long? I have to check ETH chances again...

 

252. ATHLETICS - M 400m Hurdles

 

1. Rai Benjamin USA

2. Karsten Warholm NOR

3. Alison Dos Santos BRA

 

Ha! Benjamin denies Tokyo olympic champ on the last 20m. We've seen Warholm running much faster before but this time he managed to clear all the hurdles according to the rules heh... McMaster 4th for IVB. So no olympic medal for them.

 

253. BEACH VOLLEYBALL - W Tournament (but it could be M - the schedule is not clear here)

 

1. Ana Patricia Ramos, Eduarda "Duda" Santos Lisboa BRA

2. Sara Hughes, Kelly Cheng USA

3. Tina Graudina, Anastasija Samoilova LAT

 

Tina - Anastasija get a nice bronze but earlier they put on a furious SF battle against Hughes/Cheng losing 1-2 like in 2023 WCH but only 16-18 in 3rd set. Great BRA - USA final in a wonderful scenery in the evening close to the Eiffel Tower. Beach volleyball gets to be one of the most popular sport in Paris olympics. Deserved that for sure.

 

254. BOXING - W 50kg

 

1. Buse Cakiroglu TUR

2. Wu Yu CHN

3. Ingrit Valencia COL

1. Julio Cesar La Cruz CUB

2. Aziz Abbes Mouhidiine ITA

3. Davlat Boltaev TJK

3. Jack Marley IRL

 

CUB vs ITA - what an amazing bout! Just awesome. Oh, we were waiting for sth like that for so long. Boxing is back, many say. This final will be still talked about when boxing finals will get started at Warsaw 2044 olympics...

 

258. BREAKING - W Ind.

 

1. India Sardjoe aka India NED

2. Dominika Banevic aka Nicka LTU

3. Liu Qingyi aka 671 CHN

 

LTU would prefer to get a basketball medal but if it is denied, they celebrate what is possible. POL would love to celebrate M high jump medal but if it is denied... Or wait, Norbert Kobielski made it to the Saturday final, let's see what he can do...

1. Darja Varfolomeev GER
2. Sofia Raffaelli ITA
