Whoever thought that having only 9 medal events in a day, let alone on a Saturday of all days, needs to be fired. My one free day of the week and there's hardly anything to watch

And Canada has only one medal event tomorrow, the men's 66 kg judo event

It’s truly bananas how this day is so light. Baffling.

Julien Frascadore is in the gold medal bout in Judo!

Yeah, I brought this up the other day. No athletics, swimming or gymnastics over the middle weekend (besides race walk and open water).  Only 9 medal events on the middle Saturday, and 5 are in Judo, 3 in tennis and 1 in baseball. Meaning there's no races or artistic medals, and they all depend on drawn out games/programs. Nothing against any of those sports, they're cool on their own, but a weekend needs more excitement. Even tomorrow, with more medals, there's still no big events. Judo/Canoe Slalom take half the medals and the rest are mostly team sports (with the race walking and open water and road race).  

 

Absolute terrible scheduling. Disappointing, as others said I have all weekend to watch, but there's not much of interest (and why does everything end so early?)

[orangeman 2,285]

And 40 seconds in Frascadore loses his bout.  Silver.  

 

Aaaaaand that does it for Canada today.

From my source: Douglas won the first sailing race, was second in the second  race, tied for first with the USA

No Paris ticket for Rebecca Marino  after a semifinal loss in women’s singles to Argentina’s Lourdes Carle (all she needed to do was win), but she’ll probably qualify anyways.
