Thankfully she won a medal as McMaster, their only other realistic medal shot, had to withdraw.

Wodak GOLD!  PR record!   
 
Congrats to Biyaki and Cliff as well!

Nothing yet... rather than on men's RS:X I'd like to think is Van Aanholt in women's laser the one that has any chances.

Right, the Hispanics in his eyes invaded Texas...for which there is a point to say, if you're a native American  

The people should live in the garden I'd day, the house is for the fennec.

Tomorrow's rounds will be tougher, so a lot can still change.

For those not familiar with the competition system in swimming in place since the 2011 Games, the top 8 advance to "A" final, while the nest 2-8 swimmers compete in the "B" final.
The exception are the "distance" events, which are swam in heats, the "slower" one being swam at the end of the morning session, the "faster" at the finals session.

Olympic quota for  

Based on the notice of race they only need one race. That sounds wrong, but I guess with medals and Olympic quotas on the line they wanted some results.

He isn't... he speaks against neoliberalism, yet he maintains most of the original cabinet members that were greatly responsible for the 1994-1997 economic crisis known as "Tequila Effect".
 
The problem is he has qualified majority in both chambers of the Congress, plus most of the states' congresses, so he's basically free to reform the constitution anyway he and his gang wants.
 
He started by creating a new paramilitary force, under the guise of a "Civil Guard" but most of the elements were soldiers already dismissed from the army or from the local police corps. Just last week they captured 4 of those elements as part of a group kidnappers.
 
I could rant all day long, but there's no point in that. Let's just say I'm glad I knew a more less "stable" "free" & "democratic" country, where not everything was violence, corruption and dictatorship.

That's one of our many big problems. Mexico is a failed state, as hard as it is to say it. And mark my words, if the party in government isn't expelled in the middle term elections, then you're seeing another Venezuela, only this time 6 times bigger.

You mean García 
 
And still for me, it should have been a 8.0-8.0-8.5 score.

I agree about Berlin.  I don't think Garcia even deserves to be top-3 at this point.  

Vincent's dive was pretty much perfection.  

The table tennis live scoring stopped ffs.
 
But Canada saved three points to win the first set.
