So, Medal.

 

The most surprising medal in sport hitory of Slovakia, I assume. No one absolutely no one expected this, I believe even not Rory himself, especially after yesterdays disaster.

 

But an absolutely amazing OR of 61 in a single day catapulted him to an absolutely unbelievable silver medal.

 

Very well done and congrats Rory.

 

 

Medal number 31 for :SVK in SOG history since the independence, 14th silver

 

(10 - 14 - 7)

 

Obviously first ever Golf medal. Golf is now the 8th sport in which the country medalled at the summer Olympics since our first appearance in 1996.

 

Also mentionworthy this was the Slovak debut in this sport and it ended by a medal.

Finally got around to watching the bronze medal play-off. That was a lot of fun. Love the elimination format. :d

Too bad they didn't ask if they can share 7 bronze medals. :p 

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

Jokes aside :p 

 

Had there been no tiebreaker, or had the competitors chose to keep the tie, this would have been the most people to ever tie for an Olympic medal. From what I read, the previous record for a tie for a single medal was 4 athletes at one of the early Olympics.

Ahem, 1984 OG weren't exactly "early" :p And it's no surprise it happened in gymnastics.

 

Men's vault - 1 gold, 4 silvers (including Li Ning who lit the 2008 Olympic cauldron).

Gymnastics also provided a couple of examples where a gold medal was shared by more than two people. In one case all three were from the same country to add to the lunacy!
