What a low level final, where were Gatlin, Merritt, Jobodawana or the guy from Antigua? I think Van Niekerk easily could have won a silver medal here.

What is going on with french athletics? Before the start of the competition, 3 medals (mens pole vault, mens 50 km race walking, mens 110 m hurdles) would have been an amazing result for them, now they won medals in womens discus throw, mens 200 m and mens decathlon out of nowhere.

 

Gatlin didn't make the final, Francis was injured

A gold for Langvad or the handball team (or possibly Viktor, Nicole or Simone) would be absolutely perfect to finish these games!

I'll be pulling for the Danish handball team!

just 2 cm from bronze in javelin...but she knows she could and should throw a bit better. What a bad luck for her, Martina...but what for Gemili, joy for 1, drama for another.

 

Congrats Croatia - enormous Games

I'm absolutely thrilled for Tom Walsh getting bronze in shot put. He deserves it with his consistent podium finishes, I couldn't bare him finishing 4th again like at WChs last year. Sad for Congolese guy but was kinda hoping one of the Americans were to bomb out. But that was never going to happen.

What a day it was for the USA with 4 golds (5 with the epic win for Maroulis in wrestling). :bowdown: What a cracker of a final in the shot put that was. Not only did Crouser beat the 30 year old Olympic record of Ulf Timmermann, but he entered the top 10 all time. And all his throws nearly averaged 22 metres. Just insane performance. :bowdown: :champion:

Well, if Bolt wasn't the biggest legend of athletics, this will do it.

 

I'm more happy for De Grasse second medal (a silver) and Lemaitre's bronze :yes

 

No, Carl Lewis /end of story

    • Pathetic scenes in the final. The referee tried to give it to Morocco but the late penalty was somehow even worse from Diaz 
    • aaaaaaand Canada did it , done of USA and their  taxes of shhhhht , Canada is replacing USA by China     
    • According to our Ski federation we received a galore of quotas today.   9 exactly    4 in Alpine Skiing, 3 in Cross-Country Skiing and believe it or not 2 in Ski Jumping, in which it will be a huge return to the Olympics for Slovak Ski Jumping after Vancouver 2010 and first ever appearance in Women Ski Jumping for the country.   The quotas will be used by our Ski Jumping teenage siblings Hektor Kapustík in the Mens Individual events and his younger sister Kira Mária Kapustíková in the Womens competition.   For both it will be obviously an Olympic debut, Kira will be I do believe our youngest athlete at the Games.     In Alpine Skiing, Petra Vlhová is nominated for the Slalom and with possibility to start also in the Team Alpine Combined. The Slalom reigning Olympic champion will start at her 3rd Olympics in a row. Rebeka Jančová in her second games after Beijing and Katarína Šrobová at her very first Olympics. Our sole male alpine skier in Italy will be Andreas Žampa who will attend his 4th consecutive Olympics.   In Cross-Country Skiing all our 3 athletes will debut at the Olympics. The Slovak-American Alaska born Peter Hinds, Tomáš Cenek and sole female in the team Mária Danielová. Their events are in the spoiler bellow.     Barring any injury this should be the final Slovakia Team for the Games (Last question is who will take the Short-Track quota - which will be answered by tomorrow). Obviously there still chance(s) for eventual reallocations, as we are on the waiting positions in W Ski jumping or W Ski Cross for example.     Team (Updated as of 18th January 2026) 52 Athletes (36 M + 16 W)    
    • Apparently we have quota also for the Women competition, at least according our federation    Really do not know what to think about it, but they surely know more than me.. so great then I guess    Both Kapustík siblings will be at the Olympics by the looks of it.   Still a little skeptical until I see it officially on the FIS website tomorrow though

    • Sweden crushed their opponents in both finals. The only real intrigue came in the women's bronze medal game, where the USA scored the first goal in the 66th minute and the second in the 90th.
