The frustrating thing is that she had an amazing performance - scoring 24 points higher than when she won her World Championship bronze and it wasn't good enough.....it's just agonizing that 4th keeps happening.

I just researched the weights of all the top three divers and they all were around 75 pounds. So its really hard to make a splash when your weight is that of a child haha.  That combined with unfair judging and the dictatorship training regimen of North Korea and China, it makes stepping on the podium almost impossible lol.

Men's basketball team learned from the women's 3x3: Make bad 3 point shots non-stop while the other team racks up the points.

And now they're throwing the ball out of bounds for no reason like the women!

Guess everyone's sick of the disappointments so it's empty in here today. 

 

Another medal chance likely gone here in basketball. At least it's not another 4th.

Early track cycling results are floppy too. 

 

EDIT: I wasn't counting these as medal chances but it would be nice to start the program off strong.

Doesn't help that the refs call a foul everytime France has the ball.

What a day to have your worst match of the tournament. Pathetic

Another embarrassing performance by Canadians. We really need Rogers to do well in the hammer. Sick of watching Canadians lose.
