Will this finally be Netherland’s first Olympic medal at Paris? Never mind, they already won gold in rowing.

9th for Mislawchuk and 13th for Paquet!

Mislawchuk on pace for a 5th place finish, his best ever at the Olympics. Edit: Not anymore, he’s fading

Mislawchuk and Paquet in 5th and 8th, 13/14 seconds back of the two leaders after lap 1 of the run. Still a long way to go.

Well that’s disappointing

And 4th.

73.32 is what’s needed for bronze.

Everyone knew how the gold medal battle was going to turn out, nothing surprising. Actually, it’ll be quite interesting to see who wins the minor medals.

And didn’t Deguchi get a waza-ari in her bout against Cysique in the semifinals?

It’s like her opponents were doing anything either. There was no controversy, just bad judo from Deguchi?

defeat 3-2, and are through to the quarterfinals! @rybak @Adriano

Chuqin down 0-2 to Morëgårdh

Silver for Derron

And she loses the match Well good effort.

Michelle Li loses the second set 21-17 after going 16-13 up.

I take it you decided to skip breakfast?

Overall, a meh day. Highlight of the day was for sure our women’s rugby sevens team winning a historic first ever silver medal (and best ever finish) for Canada in this sport, beating Australia in the semifinals and losing (barely) to New Zealand in the gold medal match. Other good results were Eric Peters advancing to the round of 16 in men’s archery, including a great win over Bomadareva in a shootout where he shot 7 10s in a row to close out the match, Felix Auger-Aliassime winning his round of 32 match handily against Koepher 6-0, 6-1, women’s 3x3 team demolishing Australia in group stage action (too many fouls though), men’s basketball team defeating Australia 93-83 in group stage action, Illya Kharun’s men’s 200m butterfly heat and semifinal, and Felix Auger-Aliassime/Gaby Dabrowski advancing to the quarterfinals in mixed doubles tennis somewhat (wasn’t very convincing) As for the disappointments, men’s volleyball team getting swept by France (expected more of an effort from the boys), Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard and Francois Gauthier-Drapeau both losing in the first round of repechage in women’s 63kg/men’s 81kg judo, and Josh Liendo failing to make it into the men’s 100m freestyle final with a terrible time. Hope it’s a bad swim and nothing else.

Just saw this reply, no the US aren’t unbeatable in women’s 3x3 basketball. I could see any of seven teams on the podium (except Azerbaijan), and Azerbaijan isn’t even a bad team, I think they could get a couple of wins.

At least for Dabrowski, doubles matches are quicker.

It’ll be a tough double nonetheless, but it happens all the time on the tour, so nothing different for him
