I don't know much about ICF, but they must be known as absolutely horrible? I mean, is this event not exciting enough? One of the best finals of the entire Olympics..

But those 13 year old kids won't watch this and you know, the Olympic Games will DIE without those kids. That's the chief excuse I hear. Wait until e-sports becomes an Olympic sport - like a tetris online or something.

Oh what a final!  

 

This becoming a 500m is disgusting (after being an Olympic event since 1936!), this was awesome...

It makes you wonder why on Earth they are making all these changes? Unlike skateboarding and break dance there's zero chance Next Gen kids will watch canoeing IMO. Another case when the chase for mythical new fans will be a total failure IMO. We all know the TikTok generation doesn't give a damn about tradition.

I wonder whether that Prescod heats fiasco really made them realize how unfair that was and now they are totally lenient instead?

just beats

The DQ guy is back in another heat?

Brume 6,88 and takes the lead again on countback.

Why is K1 200m getting dropped anyway? Sprint distances are usually the most popular in several other sports?

Walczykiewicz really had a bad start which cost her the medal.

Our terrible Games continue in fine style.

Polish ES realized after 150 meters that Gemili has pulled up. They wanted to hype him for 2nd place and he wasn't there

Barbora Spotakova down & out in javelin quals.

Spanovic 6,91. Mihambo 6,95.

Eleni Artymata into 400m SF. Not bad at age 35.

Natalia Kaczmarek 51,06 and into SF.

Lewandowski on Polish ES: "They advanced me because they think I'm a medal contender"

Lewandowski has been advanced into SF! He's been interviewed on TVP Sport and doesn't know it while Polish ES noticed the results already

Andrejczyk into Javelin final with first throw 65,24.

Walczykiewicz into K1 final.

Lewandowski down!!!! What a fucking disaster!!!

It's wet again but at least it's not raining.

Michal Rozmys barely gets last automatic spot in first heat of 1,500m.

If Cubans won the gold & silver @OlympicsFan would complain they are doped since Cuba as communist country probably has some old DDR stuff still available and so on. @Makedonas needs to ask where did the German jumper finished in the final?

If Blackstenius keeps missing open net has a chance to win this

@heywooduIs Hassan still going for the 1500/5000/10000 triple because Polish media keep hyping it

Judges give everyone the evening off, 14 into the final as I count it.

Judging by Bengtsson & Kylypko reactions there will be 14 in the final indeed

It took 13 events for to win gold in athletics.

Perkovic will finish 4th.

It sure looks like Sandi Morris has injured herself when her pole broke. She is out.
