Another gold for

Slept a little bit past my alarm, so I’m gonna try to do this next daily preview as soon as possible (and a rundown of the last 3 days as soon as the day is over, I’ve been busy past 2:30pm or so) Our women’s eight attempt to try and defend their Olympic gold (not happening, but maybe an Olympic medal is possible?), Melissa Humana-Parades take on Samoilova/Graudina women’s beach volleyball group stage for a direct ticket to the round of 16, women’s soccer team plays Germany in the quarterfinals, Josh Liendo and Summer McIntosh go in the men’s 100m butterfly/women’s 200m individual medley finals, Felix Auger-Aliassime takes on Musetti for bronze in men’s singles tennnis, Damian Warner finishes up his decathlon, and our women’s 3x3 team will try to get themselves into the medal rounds with a win against Azerbaijan or a China loss.

Oops

Finally, a perfect prediction Got the women’s BMX racing podium correct!

I’m so sick of 4th’s

Head to head, or if it’s tied most points.

I get it’s disappointing but let’s all calm down. Just want to also point out that Azerbaijan is no pushover.

After day 1 of the decathlon, Neugebauer leads (unsurprisingly) with 4650 points ahead of Owens-Delerme with 4,608 points, and Warner with 4,561 points.

Warner faded badly down the home-stretch but still a somewhat decent time.

51.57 for Dressel in the men’s 100m butterfly semifinals

Good to hear

Kamga with a new NR of 65.14m in women’s discus throw qualification! @Belle @Swewi

47.70 for Neugebauer, continues his strong start.

Skotheim 47.03 in the decathlon 400m, huge PB, and I’d say he’s right in the mix for a medal.

OLYMPIC RECORD LEON MARCHAND! 1:54.06, ONLY 0.06 off LOCHTE’S WORLD RECORD! 4TH GOLD OF THE OLYMPICS FOR HIM!

Wait I don’t get it I thought there was only one semifinal in BMX racing?

Oh damn, a decathlon DNF for Moloney

21.76m and an auto-Q, he didn’t make it easy on himself though.

Bronze for Masse in the women’s 200m backstroke Really happy for her, would be gutting if she finished 4th in both of her individual events.

BRONZE FOR MASSE IN THE WOMEN’S 200M BACKSTROKE!

No? Why would they do that?

21.58 from Liendo for 4th in the men’s 50m freestyle.

Maloney with a Q in the 800m heats, and a new NR of 1:58.23

Hard to tell still, but yeah seems likely.

2.17m for Baldwin in the decathlon high jump
