this day is packed, womens 800, womens team sprint, 2 x kayak cross

keep the faith. 3 golds from those 4. 

i had GB as silver in triathlon, admittedly behind France, so its more of a missed opportunity to cash in, rather than a blow. 

I meant in general, not GB medal wise. It's the end of the group stage in volleyball, basketball, handball, water polo that makes the schedule look small I think

 

Edit: I'm an idiot, I had medal events only on the schedule.

I think we've all done that

I will also add watching 5 mins on a stream wondering where the commentary is and the realising you've been watching an empty pommel horse

Sport Climbing has started and I’ll happily admit that I have no idea what is going on when it comes to bouldering.

 

With speed it’s get to the top as quick as you can and lead it’s just get to the top. But bouldering… not a clue. 
 

Hopefully Toby performs to the level of his World Cup performances.

SF secured for Alastair Chalmers in the 400H! Pretty good effort, given that he went into his heat with the 7th-quickest PB and 6th-quickest SB.

A pretty good result for him.

Shame to see Bradshaw like that, she's been on top and battling for many years.

Having said that we left athletes at home who have shown more form in other events over this year, i'm not so sure she should've been there if im honest

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
