Wow Drouin... again a battle between him, Barshim and Bondarenko.

 

Congrats Canada and also for the only Qatari athlete that has my support

Congrat's Orlando 

 

First medal for Spain in Athletics in 12 years. Until a few weeks ago he had no confirmation that could go to Rio.

To be honest, it wasn't much of a battle.  Drouin didn't fault until he already had the gold.  But yes, those two are also great athletes.  I love the win, but pole vault last night was much more dramatic.

Yeah and he shouldnt have been allowed to go to Rio for Spain, but IAAF doesnt even care about their own rules, so congrats .

Haha ...

The polish girl in javelin throw completely destroyed her PB in her first attempt. Polish throwers must have had a very good training before Rio ...

I guess Wlodarczyk and Fajdek completely dominating everyone else wasnt enough ...

She has a talent, but it was only lucky.

Your athletes are in a bad shape (for example women's  discus, Betty Heidler, Christina Schwanitz) so sad ;p

Amazing Ivet Lalova going to the final 12 years after Athens!!   The only women over 30 in her last Olympics, what an amazing moment.

Fajdek only throws 72.00m in qualifying and now is in serious danger of missing the final

No Kenyans in Men's 5000m Final
