Finally a medal

BRONZE MEDAL!!!!!

Day 5 was a relatively quiet day which saw Canada still win one medal. Day 6 has medal chances in judo (men's -100kg), rowing (men's pair and women's pair) and swimming (women's 4x200m freestyle relay). I'd also keep an eye on fencing (women's team foil), France is definitely beatable and while any of the other semi-finalists would be a long-shot, having an opportunity for the upset could result in a shocking medal.

Come on girls, the closing ceremony is in 11 days time, we need a winner

Congratulations to all of our Polish friends here! I was cheering for Poland in many races today

Penny Oleksiak!!!!!! This medal ties her as Canada's most successful Olympian (summer/winter)!!!!!!! See y'all in the 4x200 relay, Penny is BACK BABY!!!

Last 200m at Olympics for Fede. Thanks for this amazing year's

Definitely one of the most exciting new additions. Estonian and Latvian gold: check. Now Lithuania's turn somewhere.

Mektić/Pavić into the semifinals too! Guaranteed medal already.

Our first boxing medal since 1996 ?? and the last time we won more than 1 medal in a single edition of the Olympic Games was in 1932

Medal for Poland

And that medal ties Penny for most Olympic medals for a Canadian. And she still has a couple more chances here (and is, you know, only 21). 4x200 relay is going to be special.

Андреј - 47.94 НР!!! Нажалост девети, али ово је феноменално

The development of the Netherlands in rowing is beyond absurd. They never won more than 3 medals at the olympics and now they already have 3 after 3 finals. Would really like to know what secret sauce they are using (in rowing/cycling/speed skating).

First gold medal for us

Hey folks To those who might wonder why you haven't seen any updated standings from the prediction contests, I can inform you that I do update each contestant's points every day. It just take a lot of time to also adjust the standings each day for each contest. I will publish a final standing for each contest when it's over. You can here see the provisional standings (not in order/ranked) of each contest. Miscellaneous 1 Miscellaneous 2 Miscellaneous 3 Swimming

Day 5 Standings Good night, guys! Sorry for not doing live live updates since I was away for the entire day, only being able to see Rowing finals as I went to sleep at around 3-4 AM and also was able to update the standings with Rowing results. But whatever, time for the thing hopefully at least one person was waiting for. Final Day 5 Standings (Top 10 only): 1. Netherlands 151 × 3 = 453 2. Australia 150 × 3 = 450 3. Hungary 57 × 4 = 228 4. Germany 113 × 2 = 226 5. GB 100 × 2 = 200 6. USA 156 × 1 = 156 7. New Zealand 38 × 4 = 152 8. Italy 75 × 2 = 150 =9. China 145 × 1 = 145 =9. Slovenia 29 × 5 = 145 Current Total Standings (Top 10): 1.

Romania: 39th -> 23rd (+16) Biggest Losers: =1. Turkmenistan: 35th -> 46th =1. Israel: 38th -> 49th (-11) 3. Kazakhstan: 34th -> 44th (-10) =4. 10 NOCs (-7) Newcomers (1st appearance in standings updates since Day 1): Fiji (=38th) Latvia (=38th) Albania (68th) Moldova (89th) Random Trivia! Netherlands post-multipliers scored less points in Day 5 than only 14 countries in their entire league campaigns. Full Standings are always here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NiyTqxwllnpaL3jr_ziLk4UTxz6QuVU6sQNjZ8FVRUU/edit?usp=sharing Also, the Day 5 and Day 6 Reports will be combined, simular to the Day 3 + 4 Report. And I won't share my schedule as I don't really have one. I am pretty sleepy, so good night the 7 people that will see this!

Xiao had 0.5 less in difficulty than Hashimoto in the horizontal bar. The execution was similar: 8.366 for Xiao and 8.433 for Hashimoto. It all came down to who performed the most difficult skills and, in the end, Xiao lost. There was also a 0.3 penalty for Xiao, but penalties are always a fault commited by the gymnast himself. So, he only has himself to blame for losing the gold medal. China absolutely needs to improve the difficulty of their gymnasts' routines and hopefully do better next time. Let's stop the accusations without supporting evidence. Gymnastics is not skateboarding or surfing.

Devin Heroux tweeted there would be 3 subs - My guess is that its Sanchez doing the lead off then Smith/McIntosh (maybe reversed) and Oleksiak as the anchor.

After Day 5 Rio: 73/306 events, 50 NOCs with medals After Day 5 Tokyo: 95/339 events, 62 NOCs with medals The top three continuing to collect multiple gold medals, now running away from the Russians and Australia now comparable to Rio (5-2-5) thanks to Ariarne Titmus and a strong rowing performance. The games have now started for the Netherlands as well with medal haul of eight today. We're also seeing a renaissance of Austrian sports given the disappointments in previous summer games (0-0-0 in London; 0-0-1 in Rio). Historical day for the Fiji national rugby 7s team as they repeated the success from the Rio games, while Hong Kong will end the games with most medals won at a single Olympics, no matter what. The Tokyo Olympics are slowly shaping up to be a disappointment for the Italians. Certainly not in total medals (3-6-2 in Rio) but still only Dell'Aquila their lone Olympic champion so far. One also notes the high number of 4th* place finishes. Kazakhstan way behind their Rio performance thus far (2-2-3 in Rio) and same can be said about Vietnam (1-1-0 in Rio) without Hoàng Xuân Vinh. 4th place counter* (9) (7) (6) (5) (4) (3) (2) (1) and the Refugee Olympic Team *5th places in events that award two bronze medals

Latvia out in men's 100kg for failing weigh in

Tommy trying something on Russian girls here ?

Number 1 seed Kento Momota is out

Fiji wins!!! Yeah. All the nation must be so proud now!

Even though I'm Kiwi you can't deny the Harlem globetrotters of 7s rugby they simply are the best. God Bless Fiji.

Tunisian 49er FX crew DNF'd in Race 1, and then apparently withdrew (DNS across the board). Long live free continental quotas!

& first Tokyo 2020 Boxing medalists in W Feather

Yes, Germans were among the “least worst”, no terrible mistake and a decent difficulty degree, so that was their reward. Japanese were quite decent, but still need to polish their entries and lack a great value dive All around the overall level has been dismal, but given most of the divers have not competed regularly, what one could expect. Only Daley (who mostly carried Lee to that Gold) and both US medalist teams showed something decent.

It's also worth remembering that Biles has been through some serious trauma because of her career as a gymnast (being sexually assaulted as a child is no joke) and has been forced to deal with it very publicly.

Uh kakav meč

Holy shit, we actually did it. v 10-9 First defeat for the US at the Games since 2008.

Boxing looks to be very well judged this time by the Task Force setup, with Uzbeks not blindly winning each and every match.

WHAT A DREAM! 20 YEARS OLD BOTH OF THEM, AND INTO THE FINAL OF SUCH A TOUGH EVENT WITH A WORLD BEST TIME!

URUGAUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some trivia for the medal won by in women’s 4 First ever rowing medal for Irish women First ever rowing medal in heavyweight First medal for an Irish ‘team’ of more than 2 people in any sport Until today only 4 Irish women had won Olympic medals. Now it’s 8

8th place for Chmielewski on 200m butterfly, he had worse time than in semis, but Olympic final for 17yo guy is already awesome result. I hope that he will have good career and will win couple medals at big events in next years.

Well done Poland. Poor Germany, horrible. China was probably the most assured gold of the regatta.

Bronze for Oleksiak!

Another medal for Penny!!!

OLEKSIAK!!!!!!

Finally first Gold for Silverland

Completely new tactic by GB, just collide with your opponents and take them out of the race ... Also there must be some brexit joke in there ... I thought that maybe the brits got confused because people in Japan drive on the right side of the road, but then i did some research and actually people also drive on the left side of the road in Japan too, so no excuse there. The most obvious explanation: The brits wanted to take revenge for the lost final of the european football championships by taking out Italy, but of course they missed (as usual).

List of nations that won more than 6 rowing medals at a single olympics in this century: GB (9 in 2012) The Netherlands realistically could win more than 6 medals, something even Germany and Australia never managed to do in this century.

Desteapte-te Romane

Adam Kreek did a podcast where he interviewed all the different crews - the one with Smith/Sevick was the most fascinating one. They worked really well together but there was definitely some underlying issues and had to switch coaches like 2 or 3 months ago.

Dominant performance from

Great work, thanks for this. It is quite interesting. As for Greece, I think we didn't have many medal chances yet, and many will come over the weekend and Monday with gymnastics (Petrounias) tennis (Tsitsipas and mixed doubles), sailing (a few of them), men's long jump (Tentoglou), men's rowing single sculls (Ntouskos), women's 25 pistol shooting (Korakaki), and men's 50 freestyle (Gkolomeev). So hopefully some of those will win medals.

I know it's sounds like bullshit, but my wife just told me that chinese media has reported that some "unnamed" foreign media has reported that Simone Biles has withdrawn due to the pregnancy. ????

Fantastic time trial! Road Cycling really delivered at the Olympics this edition

Born in , but competed then for and later for .
