Poor Palameika, I felt really sorry for her  Peaking in the wrong time, at the wrong place... Had she thrown this well in Rio, she would've medalled.

I'm not 100% sold it was about the peaking at the wrong time. Latvia had a poor Olympics, most of their favourites to win the medals plumetted before her and I think it was an added pressure for her to perform well, that she simply bombed out.

Although his life is in no danger, he was hospitalized with one of his hand in "critical conditions" according to the emergency service. He is getting surgery rigth know, really hope everything goes alrigth.

Acording to some press he's on risk of amputation, but you definitively can't relay on them in situations like this...
