Tokyo 2020 is coming to an end, I hope you enjoyed following them here in Totallympics! I know not everything was perfect, there were some nightly downs of the forum in the first days and some posts had to be deleted because of abusive behavior by certain users, but I think this is something will always happen on a populated forum. As always, since tomorrow the focus will switch to Beijing 2022 and Paris 2024, we want to be the first to start following the 2024 Olympic qualifications so I hope after some days of Olympic detoxification you will all be back on Totallympics and follow sports with us! In the next weeks, there will be some little forum’s software updates which I postponed to avoid problems just before the Olympics, and we will also move on a stronger server, to avoid forum’s down during traffic’s peaks. I will also have lots of hosting space, so I have thought I can create national sub-domain forums for the nations with lots of users who think their national thread is not enough. For example, I will try to launch https://italia.totallympics.com/, where Italian fans will have their own forum, in the same format of Totallympics but only for Italian fans who can write in Italian. This will allow the Italian community to grow independently in their own forum, and I’m sure Italians who want to interact with the rest of the world will keep using the “international” Totallympics as they are doing now. The great advantage comparing to the National threads is that everything would be more organized, with sections, threads etc., just like here. I chose the Italian example because I know how and where to search for Italian fans interested in the forum. But if any of you is interested I can create other nations’ sub-domains. I will setup the forum in the same format of Totallympics, then of course I would need one person (or more) who will take care of that forum and its development. You don’t need to be skilled with information technology because dealing with the forum is really simple and I could help you, the “difficult” part would be to start a community from scratch. That’s why I am mostly thinking to nations which already have lots of users on Totallympics, but if you are a country’s single member and you know how to bring your country’s people on the national forum once this will be ready, then we can obviously give a try. I think for many countries there are Facebook groups of Olympic fans or some small Olympic forums/websites here and there, and if you can potentially “move” them on Totallympics national forum then it would be easy for your community to grow, and then more people would start joining the forum when they find it on google. It will not be easy, but it might be an exciting experience and not a lot of your time is needed for that. So if any of you is interested to be the “community manager” (this word might be exaggerated, linkedin style ) of her/his country, feel free to contact me anytime via private message and we will start talking about the plan. I will not be able to pay you for that role, but of course I would give you the hosting for free so you would have no expenses of any sort, and you can always count on my help. Thank you everyone who contributed here during Tokyo 2020 and get ready for the next Olympic cycle!

Quickly scrolled through because somehow I had a horrible feeling that there would be an "Totallympics will end after Tokyo" post Nothing like that, the relief is huge. Now I'll read

After Final Day Rio: 306/306 events, 86 NOCs with medals After Final Day Tokyo: 339/339 events, 93 NOCs with medals On an exciting final day the US (46-37-38 in Rio) managed to snatch away first place from the Chinese (26-18-26 in Rio). Even on a loss of projected medals for the US team, they have been capable of holding off anyone else. The Chinese however with a better performance compared to Rio. Very fine games for the hosts here (12-8-21 in Rio). The Japanese have turned many bronze medals into golden ones this time. Their judo team has made them proud and the inclusion of new sports have helped them. Especially in skateboarding. In total medals however, they fall short on (19-17-20 in Rio under ) and the British (27-23-17 in Rio), holding off the Russians for 4th place. As stated before, remarkable games for the Australians with a gain of 9 golds and 17 more medals total compared to Rio (8-11-10). South Korea leave the Top 10 while the Dutch did not disappoint after the games have begun troublesome for them. 10 medals were required this time to reach the Top 10 in the medal table. As @Vektor already summarised, the biggest gainers and losers can be seen in his post. 4th place counter* (30) (22) (17) (16) (15) (14) (13) (12) (11) (10) (8) (7) (6) (5) (4) (3) (2) and the Refugee Olympic Team (1) *5th places in events that award two bronze medals; also includes QF losers in boxing and athletes in karate kumite one shy from the SF after the pool stage

Another gold!

And here is the comparison from Rio 2016 I've sorted them out by Rio first, so we can make a comparison, what was more popular then. Green means better, red is worse and white is pretty much the same.

What I find interesting is that non-European nations climbed over us compared to Rio, but we have the same placement on the European ranking behind the "Big 5" of and the one mid-sized nation of . There's a big gap between these 6 European nations and the rest of Europe, is in the middle of that gap. The Dutch are now what countries like were not that long ago, they are now the country representing the mid-sized European nations (in terms of population) in the top10 of the medal table. The rise of Netherlands and fall of the Warsaw pact countries kinda represent how Western Europe has evolved over the years at the Summer Games while post-Soviet countries slowly lost their strength after the fall of communism. The Dutch are on the level in Tokyo where we were in Barcelona, for us that was the last time where we had a chance to realistically win 10+ gold and 30+ total medals, Tokyo might just be the start for Netherlands to win 30+ medals per SOG from now on.

I also added the gold and the total medal differentials to get a sense of who are the biggest winners and losers overall compared to Rio: Biggest winners +32 diff +30 diff +26 diff +19 diff +16 diff +14 diff +10 diff +8 diff +7 diff +6 diff +5 diff +4 diff +3 diff Biggest losers -15 diff -13 diff -12 diff -9 diff -8 diff -7 diff -6 diff -5 diff -4 diff -3 diff

For the first time ever has won gold in 2 different sports at the same Olympics Also the first time we’ve had both men and women win a gold medal at the same time Only our 11th time winning gold

I am pretty dang sure that if we were offered seven gold medals coming in every single one of us would have taken it without a second thought. Best Canadian performance at the summer games ever, excluding the heavily asterisked 1984 games.

I wanted to see which disciplines were the most popular / had the most discussion on Totallympics during Tokyo2020, so here's the ranking based on the post count of their discussion threads (I guess this is the best thread to post this): Athletics - 2264 replies Swimming - 726 replies Track Cycling - 612 replies Artistic Gymnastics - 580 replies Equestrian - 579 replies Baseball/Softball - 439 replies (M: 69 / W: 370) Rowing - 409 replies Football - 396 replies (M: 139 / W: 257) Shooting - 364 replies Road Cycling - 321 replies Judo - 267 replies Canoe Sprint - 256 replies Volleyball - 243 replies (M: 160 / W: 83) Fencing - 234 replies Tennis - 231 replies Wrestling - 221 replies Weightlifting - 216 replies Sailing - 212 replies Archery - 199 replies Boxing - 190 replies Triathlon - 181 replies Taekwondo - 172 replies Modern Pentathlon - 168 replies Water Polo - 161 replies (M: 101 / W: 60) Badminton - 141 replies Basketball - 141 replies (M: 119 / W: 22) Skateboarding - 140 replies Canoe Slalom - 133 replies Golf - 130 replies Rhythmic Gymnastics - 127 replies Diving - 113 replies BMX - 107 replies Mountain Bike - 99 replies Field Hockey - 94 replies (M: 64 / W: 30) Surfing - 92 replies Table Tennis - 92 replies Rugby Sevens - 91 replies (M: 56 / W: 35) Karate - 88 replies Handball - 75 replies (M: 38 / W: 37) Sport Climbing - 64 replies Basketball 3x3 - 54 replies (M: 45 / W: 9) Beach Volleyball - 46 replies Artistic Swimming - 30 replies Trampoline Gymnastics - 28 replies

lol, I can't believe that I almost got it right. I projected 6 gold and 19 total medals and we ended up with 6 gold and 20 total medals. I thought that this was a mildly optimistic projection, my realistic projection was 5 gold and 15 total medals, which for me shows that we did really well. Here's the recap with the results added: Events where anything other than gold would be a big disappointment (projection: 2 gold / result: 2 gold) Swimming, men's 200 fly - GOLD Canoe Sprint, women's K4 500m - GOLD Events where I am expecting a medal no matter what, close to 50% of them should give us a gold (projection: 2 gold, 3 other medals / result: 2 gold, 4 other medals) Fencing, men's team sabre - BRONZE Swimming, men's 100m butterfly - SILVER Canoe Sprint, men's K1 1000m - GOLD, SILVER Canoe Sprint, women's K2 500m - BRONZE Wrestling, men's Greco-Roman 77kg - GOLD Events where we have a good chance for a medal, I would say that around 10% of them are gold, 40% of them are silver or bronze (projection: 2 gold, 10 other medals / result: 2 gold, 9 other medals) Athletics, women's heptathlon - 13th Canoe Sprint, women's K1 200m - 6th Canoe Sprint, men's K1 200m - GOLD Canoe Sprint, women's K1 500m - SILVER Canoe Sprint, women's C2 500m - 5th Fencing, men's individual sabre - GOLD Fencing, men's individual epée - SILVER Fencing, women's individual sabre - 4th Fencing, women's team sabre - 8th Judo, men's 90kg - BRONZE Modern Pentathlon, women's individual - BRONZE Modern Pentathlon, men's individual - 6th Sailing, men's finn - SILVER Shooting, men's 10m air rifle - 5th Shooting, men's 50m rifle 3 pos - 10th Swimming, men's 400m IM - 4th Swimming, women's 400m IM - 5th Swimming, women's 200m fly - 4th Swimming, women's 10km - 4th Swimming, men's 10km - SILVER Water Polo, men's - BRONZE Water Polo, women's - BRONZE Wrestling, men's Greco-Roman 67kg - 12th Wrestling, men's Greco-Roman 87kg - SILVER Wrestling, men's freestyle 65kg - 5th Events with a small chance for a medal (projection: 0 medal / result: 1 medal, plus a couple of good results) Karate, kumite, 75kg - BRONZE Canoe Sprint, men's K2 1000m - 4th Taekwondo, men's 58kg - 5th Judo, women's 52kg - 5th Swimming, men's 4x100m freestyle relay - 5th Wrestling, men's Greco-Roman 97kg - 5th Events with zero chance for anything (projection: 0 medal / result: 1 completely unexpected 4th place) Cycling - Mountain Bike, women's - 4th

7 gold is truly unexpected - I think the middle week of the countless 4th place performances that ended with the terrible morning of the two back to back beach volleyball losses really dampened the mood. However, this is a fantastic result for Canadians and there's lots of young performers up and coming. It showed the continued legacy for swimming and athletics, rebuilding of the rowing program (slowly) and real young talent in many sports track cycling, diving, judo among others. Looking forward to the Paralympics and 2022 Winter Olympics just around the corner.

Countries shying away from hosting the Olympics/other multi sporting events need to look at Canada. Hosted the 2015 Pan American Games, which built the only velodrome in Canada + a new pool in Toronto (there were only two, older pool in all of the region). And it has turned around and provided Canada with 1/3 of its medals here. Without the facilities, I doubt Canada would have this level of success. This is also a successful legacy, something that is always omitted when discussing these mega events.

On that matter I hope users who have enjoyed the Tokyo Olympics will continue staying here. @vinipereira

It wasn't a great Olympics for Iran, I was expecting more medals but less gold medals, so I can say I'm OK with our result 3 G, 2 S, 2 B. actually in term of quality of medals this is our 2nd best ever result after London 2012 with 7 gold medals. but we lost two of our serious gold medal chances before the start for stupid reasons and some of our medal prospects didn't even qualify for the games. so it was supposed to be a bad tournament even before the start. and the first week was mixed up with political stupid discussions. at least some better results in 2nd week erased all those bad memories. but I was expecting 1 or 2 gold medals, while our biggest champion failed to repeat his gold from Rio, we had two completely surprising gold medal winners. my country is going through a very tough time, these past 4-5 years were really hard for everybody including our athletes (that's why we had lots of athletes leaving the country), I believe most of our sport federations had something like 20% of the budget they had in 2012. (even though that hurt our minor sports even much more) so it was expected to not see an improvement from 2016. still adding Karate to the Olympics was supposed to be a big deal for us to make up for other sports problems. still it was a great two weeks, another good memory of Olympics in my life to remember forever. I hope for no more global disaster to see Paris 2024 in a better situation.

The moth on the podium now has a Twitter account

I have a lot of qualms about the format and the rules, but I do feel like a sport with a well established pro circuit with a lot of serious competitors that was healthy before the IOC got involved really deserves some credit for obviously doing something right (see also: surfing, climbing or my favourite whipping boy, karate).

Bahrain bought the rights for their name..

Best medal-haul ever for Canada in a non-boycotted summer games, highest placing in the medal table since 1992, first team gold in a summer sport since 1908, two big stars (de Grasse and Warner) winning their first global title... this is definitively on the upper end of what Canada is capable of at the summer Olympics.

Eto završile i OI u Japanu. 8 medalja ukupno, 3 zlata, 3 srebra i 2 bronce. Vrlo uspješne OI, druge po uspješnosti, iako je drugi tjedan bio bas los za Hrvatsku. 26 mjesto ukupno, samo treba pogledat ko je sve iza nas: Ukrajina, Rumunjska , Srbija, Turska, Južna Afrika itd. Za mene najbolji trenutak: hrvatsko finale u tenisu Za mene najgori trenutak: poraz Starčevića u 1/4 finalu protiv Iranca ovaj put nismo imali neke senzacionalne medalje kao Kolak 2016 ili Cernogoraz 2012, ipak po meni mala iznenađenja su Čilić/Dodig, donekle Kanaet ali i Stipanovic i Martin na osnovu rezultata u zadnje vrijeme. Ipak ostaje žal za nekim stvarima jer smo mogli uzet još par medalja, ali ne može bit sve perfektno. totalni podbačaj atletike, osim maratonki. Od Fantela se očekivalo puno vise, nisu bili ni blizu medalje ni u jednom trenutku. Izgubili smo dvije borbe za broncu. Huklek i nije imao bas šansu, Matić izgubila sa vrlo glupom greškom. sve u svemu ovo je bilo odlično. Par stvari ipak brine, ekipni sportovi su nam u padu. Isto tako brinu bazični sportovi. Dok smo u gimnastiki na našem maksimumu, Atletika i plivanje izgledaju jako loše. Opcenito delegacija nam nije bas najmlađa, treba vidjet da li imamo neke nasljednike. dosad je samo Pejcic objavila kraj (ako se ne predomisli). Starčević još ne zna, zavisi kako će izgledat kategorije za Pariz. Šimić je isto zvučala kao da bi mogao biti kraj. Damir Martin bi mogao bit upitan za dalje. Isto tako kraj karijere kod Derek i Ivane Marenic me ne bi iznenadio. Naravno u vaterpolu će bit njih par koji vise neće igrat uopće ili ne za repku (Garcia, Obradovic Itd). i sad se možemo okrenuti prema Parizu. Ako ne dodje do nekih ogromnih promjena onda su kvalifikacije već počele (taekwondo), a 2022 dijelit će se već kvote u Jedrenju i streljaštvu. u ekipnim sportovima isto tako kvalifikacije su već počele, treba se plasirati na iduća velika natjecanja da bi se uopće dobila prilika za kvalifikacije. nadam se da ćemo u Parizu imat vise sportaša i povratak ekipnih sportova ili barem rukometa (m/z), i pojavit se u nekom novom sportu (streličarstvo i bmx freestyle). HRVATSKA!

Rio/Tokyo comparison Biggest winners in terms of gold medals: +15 gold +12 gold +9 gold +4 gold +3 gold +2 gold Biggest losers in terms of gold medals: -7 gold -5 gold -4 gold -3 gold -2 gold Biggest winners in terms of medals: +18 medals +17 medals +15 medals +12 medals +9 medals +8 medals +6 medals +5 medals +4 medals +3 medals Biggest losers in terms of medals -11 medals -10 medals -9 medals -8 medals -7 medals -5 medals -4 medals -3 medals

We lost the gold medal race 38-39 on the last day. A little bit sad but still quite excited when you engaged in this full process. It's an almost perfect OG for us with 38 golds and 88 medals with some breakthrough and some unexpected losses. But it's the beauty of sport and Olympics. Start to looking forward to Paris 2024 now.

Cant wait for a certain user to call the women's sprint a disgusting result ?

Ho-ho-ho!!! This is really incredible! Congrats !

RBC training ground has produced two gold medalists at these games (and other strong results). Expand the program right now!

As you know, e sports were actually close to be selected for Paris. Fortunatelly, there was someone in IOC who had more than 1 functioning brain cell so luckilly we wont watch Call of Duty at least until LA.

E sports

@DnlAmazing haul for Israel, with record in medals, and 2 golds. New medals in Taekwondo and Gymnastics. 5th place twice i believe in Judo, 4th place in swimming open water. And many crying russians, which is like the icing on the cake

In 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 Greek women won the same amount of medals as Greek men. This time Greek men won 4 medals and Greek women on 0 medals. First time since 1988 that Greek women didn't win any medals. We had Stefanidi get 4th in pole vault, Sakkari in mixed doubles 5th, Bourmpou/Kyridou 5th in rowing, Korakaki 6th in two shooting events, Tzeli 7th in taekwondo, Teltsidou 7th in judo, Drisbioti 8th in 20km walk, Kyriakopoulou 8th in pole vault, Ntountounaki 9th in 100m butterfly, Karachaliou 9th in sailing etc. We are similar to Canada in a way, based on what @JoshMartini007said, because we also are generalists and don't focus on specific sports. All 4 of our medals this year were in different sports. In Rio we won 6 medals all in different sports except 2 shooting medals which were from the same person. In London and Beijing we also did not win more than 1 medal in a single sport. In this way I think Greece and Canada are similar.

Thank you Tokyo for hosting these Games despite the difficult circumstances Can't wait for 2024, it will be the first time in so long that the events will all happen at a reasonable hour for me, finally! I hope I can go see some events, having the Olympics in France will probably be a once in a lifetime opportunity. No idea which events to prioritize though (NOT breakdance).

I would defintely be down Hopefully more of you will too

While this is super true, the fact that core Olympic events are getting cut down or even dropped, things like skateboarding and breakdancing are getting their place, sorry but watching 10 year olds getting 3/10 at most and winning gold is ridiculous, the annoying attempt to be liked by “young generations “ is ruining the games

Yes, and she even succeeded somehow yesterday to push herself to the post of medal awarding person in the canoeing sprint M K4-500 for our last medalled athletes at these games and later in the evening to the historic Italian gold in the M 4x100 relay she is still able to do wonders so let see how her career in the sport diplomacy will continue, she is however still member of the European Olympic Committee

Well done on posting the results all Olympics long.

ja mislim da jeste nije da je važno , ali iza nas ste u medal renkingu ostajemo najbolja ex yu država

Why? Ashram had a better D. The deduction for the lost don't means that you lost. Read to code and stop to blame

Cheers to the Managers of the website forum.

I still believe this is the final between the two strongest team of this tournament. This is stonger than

backs to 20 total medals since 1996 6 gold is fine, I had predicted 8 but 7 is what I really expected (one more gold from Hosszú/Men's Finn/Siklósi in Epee/Men's Team Sabre/W K2-500/Open Water), so a little bit disappointing. I've to say, I think we had a good team this year, far better than Rio. These are 20 clean medals without overperformances, without surprise medals and with 14 (!!!) 4th places.

Best position ever for at the medal table (12th). Hoping for a record also at the Paralympics but it will be difficult (7th in 2012 is our best).

Considering that the site is much more active during these 16 days, I think it worked really well, it only crashed a few times and most of those were scheduled maintenances at 2am CET.

CanFund will be dishing out a total of $720,000 for gold medals $165,000 for silver medals $350,000 for bronze medals for a total of: $1,235,000

With Bevridge's 9th place in the omnium, that concludes Canada's participation at Tokyo 2020! Hopefully all of us will stick around and cheer our athletes in the non-Olympic period.

Ok this is crazy, congrats

wow !

You mean he didn't need to knock anyone over or have the race restarted because he wasn't going to win (still bitter!)

What is with cyclists just allowing competitors to ride away with wins at these Olympics

I like this elimination race
