Bronze medal for Nicholas Santos at 39 years-old. Finally I can say someone older than me is still earning medals.

Maybe I should watch equestrian and shooting competitions a little more.

 

so, basically I have to support Kelly Slater in Surfing...

the top 12 relays are directly qualified to the Olympics...

 

and it's a rule in force since quite a few editions of the Games

 

then there are 4 spots for each relay left...and in this case the times clocked by the end of the OQR will count...

basically, a disaster...1 second slower than her PB and making a lot of technical mistakes...

 

I hope she can make up for this over her beloved 200m...

Yeah but the commentator was talking about individual events, where both Toussaint and Kamminga finished 13th and 'missed a ticket by one position'. I guess it's a Dutch NOC thing then

The 50m fly, arguably my favourite event

 

Really? I never liked the butterfly stroke much. It was created in a cheating attempt after all.

 

Besides, nobody swims like a butterfly in real life.
