Great, no Korean clean sweep.
 
Go Mexico

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

Dipa is in the vault final
 
Congrats to her and the Indian fans...

And first seeds in men double's are out
 
Amazing match for Cabal/Farah of Colombia

Congrats to Pareto and Argentina for that gold She's my favorite non-Mexican judoka.
 
On a side note, Mexico's Edna Carrillo had a decent participation in the same class, hope she continues to improve.

Uchimura fell of the high bar
 
He must saw Mewtwo in the arena, so he went out to catch'em

What an error to do this at this point

As we await for tomorrow's horse inspection and draw for eventing, here are some stats about eventing horses in Rio.

Vince McMahon's sports entertainment
 

AS you said, may the best player win 

Golfers and tennis players seem to be most vulnerable to the virus. There must be some mutation of it that attacks people with specific skills

It's Navarro

Santiago Gonzalez and Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela are going to Rio in men's doubles! (source in Spanish)

Welcome to the new forum!!

Here you can access the complete Schedule of Events for the Summer Olympic Games 2016.
 
As each Sport releases a more detailed Schedule for the Summer Olympic Games 2016, this information will be added here on the thread to make a more accurate and detailed overall Schedule of Events.
 
Each evening, for the duration of the Summer Olympic Games 2016, I will post the Schedule for the next day's sporting action in the first Post and continue this process right through to Day 16, the Final Day of Competition.
 
You can look in advance for the Schedule for any Day you wish by scrolling down the page.
 
The first Post will always show the action for the Current Day and will change each evening so we can see which events we might like to watch out for the following day.

Deserved place for her... congratulations!

I've gone trhough the web compiling the names of athletes already selected/named and those places already obtained and here's the list of how the final entry list might look like.  I've already taken out those places already rejected by the Netherlands and Japan; athletes in bold are those who count for the maximum 34 per gender in each discipline (springboard or platform); those in italics have not been oficially confirmed or selected by their NOCS.
 
Regarding South Korean Haram WOO he obtained individual places in both springboard and platform; I deduce that in orden to maintain the same number of divers in each one, FINA will count him in platform, even though it seems he will enter in both events.
