I don't pay much attention to mixed events, but today the Brazilian girl was part of the mixed team in badminton that won the bronze medal.

Even though this does not really count for the country, I'm really happy because this is a huge achievement for the athlete. Jaqueline Lima is from Piaui, one of the poorest states in Brazil. It's beautiful to be able to see how sports can change lives.

Same here brother.  The sites already writing how we got a gold in a shooting event, even though it was a mixed NOC. 

 

I know that the medals aren't the most important thing in these games, but there are too may mixed NOC medals and events for my liking.

And the guy from Mauritania is running with sprinting spikes under his shoes.

Why are there only 6 people in the wrestling categories.

in women's weightlifting, while everybody else finished before 94kg the North Korean started with 100kg in snatch and bombed out she just threw away a 99% gold medal. why they are always stupid like this ?! this is not the first time such things happening for them.

Because Youth Olympics and anything more than 6 is not urban enough.

Good for us, as we won an "official" medal there.

Even with only CJ she could (if she were in better shape) have beaten the Maltese girl with both snatch and CJ
