BREAKING NEWS! Sam Kendricks is reinstated in the Pole Vault competition, because the officials didn't properly protect him from Covid!

FIRST EVER GOLD MEDAL FOR GREECE IN ROWING AND FIRST EVER MEDAL IN A NON-LIGHTWEIGHT EVENT! So proud of Stefanos and he's only 24 and was only competing in the single sculls for two years. He was thinking of retiring after Tokyo, surely this result will change his life and attract sponsors to allow him to continue the sport. I am so proud of him! I knew he could win a medal here and believed for months that he could, but wow, gold! Amazing!

After Day 7 Rio: 118/306 events, 62 NOCs with medals After Day 7 Tokyo: 133/339 events, 70 NOCs with medals On the seventh day in Rio, the US team ran away from the rest (20-13-17 in Rio). Now they chase China (13-10-14 in Rio) which had their best day yet. Japan (7-3-14 in Rio) continues to bring joy to their fans. With more to come, they have already surpassed the 1964 Olympics in terms of gold medals won (16). With Russians also keeping the pace (5-9-8 in Rio), we should continue to see an exciting battle for the first four places until the end. Success also for the Australians (5-6-7 in Rio), already more Olympic victories than in Rio. Big improvements so far by the Czechs (1-0-1 in Rio). Absolutely on their way making it the most successful summer games in history. Uganda back after not medalling last time and also tying 1968 and 1972 for most medals one in one summer games. It's not looking good yet for the Spaniards (3-0-2 in Rio). Some of their stronger events are yet to come but after a good performance at the recent judo world championships had them dreaming of converting that into medals. They leave judo in Tokyo without. The highest-placing team at that point still without medal here (aside from the absent North Koreans) is Sweden (1-2-1 in Rio). 4th place counter* (14) (12) (9) (7) (6) (5) (4) (3) (2) (1) and the Refugee Olympic Team *5th places in events that award two bronze medals

Here's the shot why were DQ in the mixed relay. The American isn't even in the same shot as the others... Oh look, there she is! The attempt for the man to run 415 meters and woman 385 has massively failed.

IT'S NOT FAIR..... THEY HAD 2 BOATS IN THIS RACE!!

So far we have had 10! fourth (or fifth in combat) sport finishes. Rose + Caeli Mckay less than point away from bronze in their events after suffering a badly sprained ankle. Couldn't ask for more. 4 NR's in swimming (100m free, 400m free, 4x200 relay and 4x100 m relay men). They did their best and really no room for improvement at the time. Caroline Veyre gave it her all and won some points, she wasn't expected to beat her Italian opponent anyways. Shady El Nahas fought hard in the bronze medal match against 2 time defending WC Fonseca of Portugal Kai Langerfeld and Conlin McCabe had a great pairs race, and werent' expected to medal, so their medal was remarkable. The only one that is hard to take is Arthur Margelidon's performance. He made a small mistake costing him the medal Yea, I would have liked more medals, but the end of the day these are ALL remarkable performances, which we should ultimately be happy with

Just to remember you guys that it is the TV who is producing the shooting coverages in Tokyo. so all my appologies, but I warned you before the games No idea though why OBC asked our TV to do it. Our TV send 20 members crew and did... well, how to say it..what they could so blame OBC

Free passports for everyone!

Looks like the Rugby 7s coach who made those comments has been fired.

Apparently it’s impossible to get DSQ in a relay nowadays… The getting reinstated is a mockery of the sport. I’m sorry, but at the Olympic Games, you should full well know how to find the proper exchange zone on your own. I get that it was likely an honest mistake, and I feel bad for the athlete, but WA shouldn’t be reinstating teams at this level for things like this.

Fair play rules? This is joke which is not funny. Smaller country will have DSQ for sure.

USA in final mixed relay... This is joke, American should be banned from Olympics, the bigger cheaters than Russia

Can the first Swedish medal come in Day 8 please?

First tennis medal for NZ in 109 years. Anthony Wildiing won bronze in the singles for a combined Australian/NZ then known as Australasia. Fun fact. The reason they combined both countries is because NZ was contemplating becoming a state of Australia ?

Rylov should sue him then and see if Murphy can present enough proof to a court.

I'm disappointed because its another 4th place for Canada - but I'm incredibly proud of Rosie for being such a trooper through her recent injury. She's been a great ambassador for Canada. Canada has had a string of good luck in this event and I'm sad that its come to an end....for now.

Well, great performance from MacLeannan. What a legendary career. Unfortunate that these will be the first Olympics where Canada doesn't win a trampoline medal, I think it's clear that Gymnastics Canada has to develop some new talent.

Apparently split screen technology hasn't been invented yet.

Medal guaranteed for Aidan Walsh in men's welterweight

It continues..

Dias atrás tinha comentado em outro tópico sobre o aumento de seguidores no Instagram após a conquista de uma medalha. Resolvi pesquisar sobre nossos medalhistas nos Jogos até o momento e para essa tabela estou considerando o ganho de seguidores desde a cerimônia de abertura. Daqueles que (ainda) não foram medalhistas, Douglas Souza do vôlei ganhou mais de 2 milhões desde o início dos Jogos.

Final for Guatemala

@Sindo @hckošice Could you move last two pages from this thread to doping and bans thread? It's not disscussion about swimming anymore in that case...

Yeah, Dwain Chambers gave us tips for free

And the Americans have the nerve to call out others over cheating? They got away with a blatant cheat right there. Watch them trying to extend the men's leg in the final again

Well, well, well... I guess USA can really rig these Games into their favor? What an epic bullshit.

And they have been reinstated

Um dia decepcionante, mas me fez lembrar um pouco da Rio 2016, especialmente na primeira semana que parecia que o Brazil teria um desastroso resultado nos Jogos. Na verdade, só conseguimos melhorar a partir do segundo domingo, com as 2 medalhas na ginástica masculina. Naquela ocasião o Taekwondo ainda não tinha ocorrido, e agora já passamos sem medalha por esse esporte. Mas no geral acho que teremos muitas oportunidades a partir de domingo (nesse sábado temos algumas chances no Judô e Tênis, mas não apostaria em nenhuma delas). Comparação do quadro de medalhas após o dia 7: Rio 2016 1 1 2 Tokyo 2020 1 3 3

That's what you get if you only decide to follow 5-6 top US names all the frickin' time. NBC might not realize it but at the Olympics people actually want to follow the Olympics, not the 5-6 top dogs for two weeks. It's like regular US TV, they only talk about the Lakers, Yankees or Cowboys. While at the Olympics people want to see the damn NY Jets and Sacramento Kings too!

Athletics has a graphic too much, can we please take it and add it to the shooting which is entirely unwatcheable because of a lack of graphics?

Three straight semi finals for Canada at the Olympics. Either the Dutch or Americans next. Hopefully there are no Norwegian refs this time.

Labbé is the MVP.

Didn't watch the race live (I will later) but congrats to and @hckošice again!

Sorry guys, for the late answers, I wanted to watch the archery final, so had no time to look to the thread Very happy for the medal, obviously. Jakub just saved our canoe slalom face here (and not only the face but clearly also the ass). God bless him for this. Our 30th medal at the Summer Olympic Games since the independence. 13h Silver (10 - 13 - 7) the 19th in Canoeing Slalom, 7th Silver (8 - 7 -4), but the fun fact, believe it or not it is the very first medal in M K1 and now about the race itself. There were no doubts Prskavec will win gold, This was almost as sure bet as W C1 for Fox. Prskavec is just from another planet, the guy is right now unbeatable and he showed it today. What a final run from him, pure canoeing slalom orgasm Also a special mention to , They returned in force after the failure in Rio from zero medals to 4 ! The only nation to win medal in every event ! Respect. I will write a more detailed recap of Canoeing Slalom competitions, no worries, but after the games Congrats was great to stand together on the same podium again and p.s. Thank you guys for your support and cheering, really appreciate it.

Kiwis will join us on the podium then. Another historical medal flop for the States today. First time they fail to win a tennis medal since Stockholm 1912.

Daniell / Venus win New Zealand's first ever tennis medal!

Medal for Slovakia. As if we ever doubted they would leave slalom without a medal.

“Six weeks ago I was told I was lucky to be alive, and when they made the team announcements I was literally limping out of the hospital with a broken collarbone,” she said. “I just can’t believe I’m here.” Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski is a legend.

Sjajan deveti plov za Stipanovica, bio je 7, ali konkurencija nije dobro prošla. Sad je treći sa 64 boda. 3 boda ispred Norveške. Zlato i srebro vjerovatno idu u Australiju i Cipar. vorobeva danas 18 i 23, ukupno 12. Šteta da nije ušla u medal race, ali ukupno solidan nastup. Fantele danas 14, 3 i 5, ukupno 8. slijedi 10 plov u laseru.

The fourth places that we have gotten have been incredible performances really

Sara Douglas in 4th place heading into the medal race in the Laser Radial, with a legit shot at a medal.

Riner is out!

"He had a bit of a crash" I want whatever this world feed commentator is smoking.

Saudi Judoka faced Israeli in women's +78 kg and they hold each other hands after the match

Ya, no shame in that 4th place. She's actually better than she was in 2016, the Aussies just showed up this time.

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

So damn close.... Women's BMX semi was going at the same time as the 100m final and I had the double screen up - solid 3rd place finish for Mechielsen in the first heat

Very cool watching the women's eight medal ceremony - world feed announcer naming the hometown of most of the athletes as they get their medal.

The Canadian W8+ tried the same tactic in Rio and it was a major flop. The CBC commentator mentioned that going out fast and praying it would stick was Canada's only real chance at a medal. Well, this time it worked.
