Reekie and Gajanova 1-2 in 800m Heat 1 @hckošice

qualifies for the final as the second LL.

blew a two set lead but still won 3-2 after collapsed late in the TB themselves.

WR for 4x400 mixed relay SF

Kimberly Williams and Tori Franklin out in TJ quals.

One one individual gold for France from their most obvious suspect is a letdown nonetherless.

Meanwhile it's 3-0 Spain and all over here.

Time for a Tamberi-like redemption in LA

Massive luck for Spain as Japan has a goal ruled for offside.

Fermin Lopez gives Spain an early lead vs Japan.

Another penalty for handball and it's 4-0 Morocco.

Świątek wins 6-2 6-1. Bronze medal for Only a half-hearted reaction but that's understandable.

Iga Świątek wins the first set vs AK Schmiedlova 6-2.

Morocco takes the lead vs USA after a penalty kick.

It's not about doing right or wrong. The Semenya case was similar, a massive outrage she's done nothing wrong, she's being mistreated etc. at first and 10+ years on the storm is over and the world has moved on without her. The crackdown happened after Rio 2016 with more DSD locking out the medals. As with the Uganda & Burundi athletes or Christine Mboma in the sprints. I don't hear too much buzz for Mboma these days. I wonder why? Just give it some time and the puzzles will fall in the same place as it did with middle distance running. The only difference would be if boxing is removed from OG wholesale. No need to overract to recency bias. Zambia isn't winning any medals in women's football, that's the difference. When Banda retires Zambia will become meaningless in the sport. If Zambia beat USA in World Cup final and Banda would score four goals then you'd hear all about her in the mainstream media

Alcaraz smoked Auger-Aliassime 6-1 6-1 in the semi-final.

We'll see how she handles the Surmenali in the SF (I expect her to breeze through the Hungarian in QF). If DSD boxers perform too well there will be a crackdown like after the 1-2-3 DSD 800m coalition in Rio 2016. Since it's boxing there is a physical harm involved which makes it more visible than middle-distance running.

They didn't. Finished last in the medal race and lost bronze by 3 pts in the end.

Guess you were happy Melissa Bishop finished 4th behind the DSD coalition in Rio then?

Buksak & Wierzbicki in 5th place. Even w/o the false start they were too far off the medals in the end (11 points). Still a good result in a sport nobody pays attention to over here.

losing a medal in the men's skiff with this terrible medal race. Gold for Botin & Trittel. Silver for and takes the bronze.

False start for in the men's skiff medal race

Sailing will be one sport they will eventually eliminate from the Games or just leave a couple of events. It's very class dependant and prevents the same sailors doing multiple classes. Complicating the rules is another step to make the sport expendable. Their only chance is if equestrian gets cancelled first.

Rani Rosius 11.10 and makes it as LL

Fajdek 76.56 and avoids 3 NM in qualifying for the second time in four Olympics
