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

Meanwhile Fajdek with a second NM. Would be no sympathy among public opinion here if he flops again.

Katzberg 79.93 Q in round two.

Swoboda 10.99 in a mini duel with DAS

Richardson wins 100m heat ahead of van der Weken.

Cunningham doesn't clear 1.95m so Topic probably goes through into the final tied with her. Imke Onnen is the one that goes out on countback.

Maria Żodzik out at 1.83

I have little doubt Khelif will beat Hamori but she'll have to KO Surmeneli because I don't think judges will give her the decision no matter what. So yeah, the bronze medal will be a compromise like @Faramirsaid.

Yes, it's been no surprise on grass but very much on clay. Let's see how Zheng does as a clear pre-final favorite. Despite being Top 10 ranked she's not used to playing in this position and Vekic has nothing to lose having overachieved in this tournament already.

Donna Vekic beats Anna Karolina Schmiedlova 6-4 6-0 in the second women's SF. Zheng will be a favorite in the final but it's women's tennis so anything can happen.

I think it was established the pool is too shallow for faster times due to the bigger waves?

They didn't register Ofili in the 100m but she is registered in 200m & 4x100 relay. Nigeria IOC should learn from Poland IOC which registered athletes who didn't even make the Q standards
