Wow, that's very bad luck for Lithuanian pentathletes

And Niger's Abdoulrazak Issoufou is going to fight for a medal

Honduras So close, yet so long. Let's see if they have another chance four years from now. And let's see if finally this Brazilian team can break the curse and win both, an Olympic title and a title in their own soil.

Surprisingly Spain qualifies as first place to the Groups Final, so they might get a medal if Russia, Belarus or Italy fail

Congratulations to the medalists in Women's Football contest @bestmen @Pabloffo & @OlympicIRL

A very interesting competition. Mamun finally edging Kudryavtseva in the Russian derby, Rizatdinova very consistent through all four apparatus (although I'd love to see her placing higher), Melitina also good. The surprises were to see Pazhava from Georgia and Zeng from USA out of the final, but that give a chance to Vlaidnova and Rodriguez to be in in By the way, the Russians just got 17.200 points only in her second group routine

Wow, no surprises as Jorgensen gets the Olympic title. What an amazing season for her, no doubt World No. 1 A very meritory race for Riveros Duffy and surprisingly Rivas , all of them in top 10, although I was hoping for any of the first two to surprise and end with a medal.

Sad indeed, I was hoping either Riveros or Gonzalez in gymnastics could add a medal to Chile's count. Still, a good placing for both.

And Tom Daley is out of the final after failing his 2nd, 3rd and 6th dives in the semis Also Boudia barely qualifying after 3 mediocre dives and Bo Qiu also failing one. It can be an interesting final.

Wow Japan edging USA and Canada

And it's gold (first ever I think) for Cote d'Ivoire Cisse

Del Real Still, he did great, improving his qualification mark and finishing in fourth place. Probably the biggest surprise of the Mexican delegation Hope the private sector supports him, so he can be again in the final in Tokyo 2020

And a nice bronze for Milad Beighi He fought good today

Indeed, Ayana just gave up in tha last 2 laps Meanwhile Nazarov winning in Hammer final

Wow Ayana in 5000m

And another medal for Tunisia ! Glad to see two African competitors medaling in Men's -80kg

And Cote d'Ivoire has a second medal on this day. Just great

It's really a sad case

I agree with many of you who say that this sport needs to change its rules regarding the horse riding segment. It's quite unfair as it is now, and today was no exception, with two of the best athletes in competition losing because of a draw. As for Vega, I'm happy she got a good horse and that she improved her final placing in the combined event. Still her fencing needs to improve if she hopes to be a competitor for the podium.

I know, I'm not questioning your guy's merit, after all he really gave it for that medal. I'm just sad becaus eI'd love to see another medal for Bulgaria in Rio.

With only the combined event left, Germany Schoneborn is out of contention for the medals Her, along Asadauskaite from Lithuania and 4 others were eliminated in the Equestrian portion. The duel for the Olympic title will most likely be between Nowacka and Clouvel, while the fight for the third position (currently hold by McCann , who also has a chance for silver) will be also intense.

Bulgaria
