I wonder who is in the lead in 4th places in reality, I've seen several countries make that claim

Haughey didn't become the new Schooling. Let's see, if she would disappear on the road to Paris like he did.

Would make sense and would be nice to see (her disappear). Whenever a country pays insane amounts of money for medals (like Singapore or Hong Kong) it basically translates to "We don't care if you dope, just win a medal".

But GB is sure it's them, and even in the Netherlands (which is nonsense of course) people are saying the same  

 

4th places and near-misses are somehow always remembered more than successes, it seems.

Right, I always ignore that thread because I'm constantly one or two finals behind in what I've still got to watch

After Day 6 Rio: 94/306 events, 55 NOCs with medals

After Day 6 Tokyo: 112/339 events, 66 NOCs with medals

 

 

Consistent medalling by the top guns once again.  with an improvement (11-8-11 in Rio) until this point while the  Americans have gone down slightly (16-12-10 in Rio) due to dominating less in the pool this time.

 

Almost the same nations in the Top 10 now as five years ago. Only  Hungary (5-1-1 in Rio) not finding themselves in that list right now. Instead we have the  French in 8th (11th in Rio with 2-4-5 in medals).

 

 Croatia now one bronze better (2-0-0 in Rio) and there's a guaranteed gold and silver coming their way tomorrow.

 

Alessandra Perilli wins  San Marino's first ever medal!

Absolutely, they are the most painful!

 

Would love to see an analysis post-Games on which country had the most "close calls"

And one final 7th place, thanks for everything Laci!
