Silver medal!!! :bounce: 

Wasn’t expecting this at all, awesome Patricia!!

 

Also two medals in the olympics for Portugal ?? , sounds like little but it’s the first time it happens since Beijing, really great!!

 

There's still a couple of chances remaining for Portugal in athletics with men's triple jump and women's discus throw, plus men's K1 1000m in canoeing

what if after one jump (which is usually easy) all 12 athletes in the final decide to not continue and share the gold medal altogether ? I'm genuinely asking. is there any rule against it ?

They would all need to make the first jump without error and then fail three times at the next height then all agree not to have a jump-off.

 

So technically yes, but you can bet that forced jump-offs would be a thing at future events.

What happens if they is a tie during the other field events or even in the multi events. Shared medals automatically?

Count back to second best attempt, third best etc.

 

In multi-events, shared medal.

 

In men’s hammer, ties are resolved by a knife fight till first blood drawn.

Wow! What a session that was last night! Just got a chance to watch it, and it did not disappoint :hyper:

 

TJ WR for Rojas :VEN, OR for Camacho-Quinn :PUR, surprise 100m gold for :ITA, and a shared gold HJ gold for :ITA:QAT

 

I read through the debate about the shared gold medal in High Jump, and here’s my thoughts on the matter. I like the idea of a shared gold medal here. Both athletes had an opportunity to clear 2.39m in order to take the gold outright; neither was able to. Both also put forth and full and honest effort throughout the competition. They had been equally matched all night, and so I think it’s justified/right that they both a receive a gold medal since they both had the highest jump. If they had gone to tiebreaker and one of them managed to clear 2.39m then that’s an acceptable outcome as well. However, should have to have gone down to 2.37m to decide a winner, that would mean that someone who had the highest jump in the high jump doesn’t win the gold medal, and that doesn’t seem like a justifiable or correct outcome.

Justyna Swiety-Ersetic has pulled out of the 400m individual event. We could have entered three women there but only Natalia Kaczmarek will race in the end. 4x400 relay takes priority (obviously).

Iga is out too?

 

Anna Kiełbasińska could start instead her, as she had standard too and I doubt that we will see Anna in relay...

Yes, Baumgart has pulled out too.

 

I assume Kaczmarek will skip the 4x400 heats but it's anyone's guess if either Kielbasinska or Lesiewicz replace her.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • 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.
