Finally, Serbia

One more time, Mexican pair gets screwed in the knock out draw

Great result for Rosie McLennan... one of the great competitors in this event.

Why don't they start using milesimals of a second, instead of giving two or three medals of the same color? It's getting quite annoying. On another topic, what a race by Schooling.

Thanks for the explanation. I would like them to recover in their next two games and try to gain another medal.

Any reason why they're performing so poorly?

Valencia She did amazing today, despíte not achieving a medal, probably the only archer in the team that went for all. I wonder if my early prediction of zero medals in Rio will be fulfilled. Thanks everyone for their support!

Wow! My respects to the Aussie team. Even if they lost, they managed to keep busy the Americans, proving once more that there is a "One and Only Dream Team": that of 1992 Olympics.

Deriglazova did amazing from the early rounds, however, I was expecting Di Francisca to surprise her.

Well everything can occur in knock-out rounds. Good luck!

Will they just add three more podiums... I mean given that they'll probably be returning the medals four years from now

Well, to be honest your team is likely to win next two matches, probably avoiding catastrophe.

Congratulations Brazil!! They just beat Serbia 6-5

What an amazing medal for Boubakri and Tunisia

More sad news

So far, pretty dissapointing results for a discipline which had showed a great development in the last years. Aida Roman was completely out of form and gave a sad performance since the qualifying rounds; Boardman paid the price for his inexperience and let himself crumble against a mediocre Cuban archer (for international standards) who clearly did just enough to overcome him. I really pray for either Valencia or Bayardo to reach at least round of 16 tomorrow

I'm praying for Berna Pujals to have her best day ever tomorrow, so she can have a shot of qualifying to the next phase in dressage.

So far mediocre results for Mexican synchro pairs, that in both genders, were defending silver... still tomorrow shall be a better competition for Rommel and Jahir in springboard. In any case, a medal will be an extraordinary achievement this time.

Is Brazil U-23 trying to emulate Portugal in the Euro?

DelPo What an amazing achievement coming from a long inactivity period and an irregular performance in the previous months... Let's see if he can advance to the medal matches.

Spain Well done defeating the Aussies, yet only one early goal-

A decent final place for Moreno, 31 in all around... I expected both Mexican competitors to advance to a final (Moreno in vault, Corral in pommel horse), but they fell somewhat short.

Still is always better to advance one round further

Wow, Calderano and Aruna in last 16... an American player back in that round since Athens and a first for an African player.
