I was watching three different streams on all three of my devices, not sure how NONE of them were accurate. But maybe it was finished by then.

Mostly unhappy about today, though with the caveat that Katzberg's performance was incredible.

 

Five golds already is pretty damn good!

Was any of it tv? Or all online?

Another update, now that were just about the half-way point in terms of total medals to be awarded.

 

Sport	2020	2024
Athletics	6	1
Boxing	-	1
Canoeing	2	-
Cycling	2	-
Diving	1	1
Fencing	-	1
Football	1	-
Gymnastics	-	1
Judo	2	1
Rowing	2	1
Rugby Sevens	-	1
Softball	1	-
Swimming	6	8
Tennis	-	1
Weightlifting	1	-
Total	24	17

I don't expect as many medals in the second half of the Olympics, but we are still on a good pace. We failed to match our 2020 performance in judo and rowing, but we exceeded our performance in swimming despite not winning any relay medals. The sports to look for going into the second half will be athletics, canoeing and cycling, but I expect we will have chances in a handful of other sports.

ETHAN KATZBERG = GOLD MEDAL

We need the women's 3x3 team to win a game tomorrow if Canada wants to extend its medal streak, it's the only real chance I can see.
