Milák will probably retire after these Games or at least I hope he will. I think he isn't enjoying any of this and not because he lost. He shouldn't continue if he will get even more burned out in the next 4 years. 

Hopefully getting beaten by Marchand will motivate him. I think retiring now would taint his legacy a bit. I think Phelps got motivated by losing to Le Clos in 2012.

Lesson from the Games - look at the weather forecast before sending athletes to the Opening Ceremony where they do not have place to hide from the rain.

 

We were realy suprised by the bad performances from :UKR swimmers. But it turned out that all the team is ill (((

 

Zheltyakov (several seconds slower than at Euro a month ago) said "the biggest mistake - is their illness.

Soon it will be so that no one will go to these ceremonies, except for the flag beaters or perhaps some distinguished veterans, like Nadal. The closing ceremony, when the emotions have died down, is a different matter.

LEON MARCHAND BECOMES FIRST SWIMMER SINCE 1976 TO WIN TWO INDIVIDUAL GOLD MEDALS IN ONE DAY

LUKAS MÄRTENS BECOMES FIRST MAN TO MAKE 400 FREE & 200 BACK OLYMPIC FINAL IN 52 YEARS
https://swimswam.com/lukas-martens-becomes-first-man-to-make-400-free-200-back-olympic-final-in-52-years/

 

Pan‘s winning margin was the biggest winning margin in men’s 100 free at the Olympics since 1928. Back then Johnny Weissmüller won by 1.2 seconds (although we can’t be too sure about his winning margin, since they still stopped by hand back then …).

Exactly. By the way, I had Nemeth down for 12% medal chance (for what it's worth, of course, it's only an opinion), it's not like Nemeth simply reaching the final would have been enough for him. Being this incredibly close is going to hurt him possibly for the rest of his career/life, and understandably so. I hope one day at least he'll also be proud of his performance, but the hurt likely won't just go away.

@Vektor has he specifically stated in any Hungarian interviews that his goal was to medal or contend for a medal?

I was disappointed today by Ceccon in the 200. I was counting on him to fight for a medal and with no American in the final, he should have done so. It looks like he didn't prepare for this distance at all.

How can USA women have 18 in the top 8 when there have only been 8 individual events and relay, meaning 17 would be the maximum possible?

We had swimming in TV :d

 

Our sole male representative Matej Duša finished dead last 8th in the 6th heat of M 50 FS with for him a quite disappointing clock of 22.64, His goal was to try swimming under 22 seconds for the first time in his life, well, did not happen.

    • With past precedence, a sport not in thr top 2 tiers will likely find it hard to add another discipline without dropping event. For ex. Canoeing in Paris.
    • I'm sure Kata is very historically meaningful, but it's not sport. Lots of dancing is very ritualised too. Still not sport.
    • Ok but the kata is not dancing, are a sequence of pre-established movements which have centuries and is one of the pillars of most martials arts, i cant simply equalize with an street dancing. In kata, i watch a martialist looking for make perfection, in breakdancing i watch a dancer trying to make the best choreography for a judge.
    • Is there anyone out there tracking countries that have met the Alpine Olympic standard already? There have been enough SAC races for it to be possible I think.
    • Karate obviously has lots of problems with officiating. and WKF itself is not a great organization either (most of their rule changes are dumb) but the scoring basic is very simple with only 1 or 2 rare situations.    I know in past IOC (under previous IOC presidents not the current dictator) asked WKF to find a solution, using helmets or something like that to avoid situation like the last Olympic final. and I remember WKF used it for few tournaments around 2000 (1998 Asian Games for example) but nobody (specially the athletes) didn't like it, they dropped the idea.   I totally understand Kata looks very very boring, (as boring as Surfing in my opinion) but that's the heart of karate. even if WKF is allowed to pick 1 event for the Olympics, they will pick Kata  (team kata is much better though)
    • Cross-country is a long standing WA ask. Handball was never going to get Beach, Gymnastics would defo want tumbling, but possibly prefer double mini or trampoline synchro to acrobatic. High diving SHOULD get in and Archery would be better looking at field events, but may be satisfied with the five it has.
    • Worth noting that MMA was once more or less known as 'no holds barred', the most brutal form of combat sport....but almost immediately, certain holds and techniques were barred! Eye gouging, fishhooking and, more important for this discussion "small joint manipulation" - i.e torture submissions based on breaking fingers and toes. Holds that work in te real world...but are unacceptable in the sport. Any martial art that becomes a sport compromises - what do you think boxing gloves are?   My problem with karate is following the scoring and understanding what scores and what doesn't. The action itself looks interesting, but its hard to read a context.   Under no circumstances whatsoever should we see fierce growling and staring at invisible people - Kata - ever return to the games - the only event more shambolic that B-girl Raygun. What next, Haka?
    • I can understand if they don’t have the multi-events and the walks on the athletic programme, but no javelin? 
    • That was never a controversy for anybody who has watched this sport for an hour.   in Judo you can win by strangulation or something but you can't break the neck I assume.  that's the same with kicking (or punching) to the head in Karate, you can kick but you can't kick with maximum force. that's the first thing they teach you in Karate. the very first thing.
