Yes, shockingly bad level, even in womens heptathlon 2 girls jumped higher. Kuchina couldve won the gold here even if she wouldve jumped drunk like Ukhov once did.

Spain wins another gold out of nowhere, they are probably the most lucky country in olympic history, the probability of them winning 5 or more golds was probably at about 0.00000001%.

 

Hello, Olympic Fan. 

 

First of all, I would ask respect for Spain, a country that is struggling to emerge from recession and whose athletes are in a difficult situation, with little help. 

I'll remind the world champions we have had in recent years;

 

- Fatima Galvez (Shooting, Trap)
- Alberto Fernández (Shooting, Trap)
- Echegoyen / Betanzos (Saling, 49er FX)
- Javier Gomez Noya (Triathlon)
- Carolina Marin (Badminton)
- Miguel Angel Lopez (Athletics, Race Walk)
- Female Waterpolo
- Men's Handball
- Joel González (Taekwondo)

---

And many other world runners-up and bronze medal. ¿Is this a 0.00000001%?

I am very happy haver seen the victory of Ruth Beitia in the high jump, the first woman Olympic champion in athletics Spanish. 

 

Although not a final high-level, all had the same opportunity. Ruth gets the recognition of his career, for 37 years he will retire soon.

 

Thank you, Ruth

Our commentators have called the victory Ruth the best moment of the day and an example for other athletes

Just one question. Our commentators could not understand why she jumped in glasses?  It was an advertisement or vision problems?

Congratulations on great Olympics

 

Of course there is no way the chance of winning 5 gold medals was 0.000000%, it was actually quite realistic, well done
