Wasn't expecting a medal or anything but the hopefully this bodes well for the team event.

Nope lo, I was refreshing the livescore like crazy (even though it updates automatically lol)

Canada got an extra spot in skateboarding. Annie Guglia will start in the street event.

Ash Barty out 

It looks like street skateboarding is contested in a park. Where is park contest then? Maybe in streets ?

Runs are 45 seconds long, tricks is just one and done 'trick' that has no time limit, but you can only do one.

Silver medal 
 
Manuel and Oleksiak almost tying again

Harvey, Guo and Ryan all advanced to the Ro16 of the women's foil.
 
"Holly fuck that was scary" said Ryan on the world feed about her performance.

It shows Slovakian team sharing water with the Czechs and other teams, a true act of sportsmanship

Looking forward to two very likely medals today (fingers crossed), and a huge showdown between Japan and Canada for a shot at the gold in softball. Also excited to see the debut of skateboarding (potential outside shot at a medal?) and surfing. 
 
As an aside, watching the CBC's daytime show right now and find Perdita Felicien to be very obnoxious. Talking about herself at every opportunity she gets. 

I doubt it but I will try tomorrow morning. We need it very much. Thanks for sharing.

as other user said, Iran doesn't face Israeli athletes, and only when they represent Israel (which is still stupid) I mean CZE basketball team has an Israeli head coach and that's no problem. we had footballers in European clubs with Israeli team mates.
 
and it seems most people don't know that there are Jews in Iran. not too many but still.

Ceccarello throw up the qualification with an 8.8 at last shoot

Hey fellow Canucks. I've compiled a list of all of the Canadians competing on Day 1. I can't guarantee I'll have time to make one for every day but I'll try my best.

If having two flagbearers means gender equality why USA don't have two presidents ? male and female ? and why Mr Thomas Bach doesn't give half his power to a female IOC president ? hmm ?
 
to me gender equality means people get credit for their quality and their achievements, not because of their gender. as simple as that.
 
beside those pictograms segment which was fantastic, to me another good thing about the ceremony was limiting delegations to just 6 officials. I really hope they continue doing that or even makes it 0. I enjoy to see the athletes, not the coaches or officials.

My best guess is Sanchez, Smith, Ruck and Oleksiak with MacNeil replacing the weakest performer for the final. 

You are really true fanatics. I will get up at 7 am and then watch with some delay, will probably chase live for Cycling final kilometers.  

SB had a disaster QR, down by 22 points from her PB, Crispin actually had 5 points less than in Rio, but finished higher. Either would have gotten them a performance needed to qualify.

Random trivia from Poland. Malgorzata Cybulska (equestrian) was handed a flag so she waved that during the ceremony
 

 

First flagbearer and its already awkward lmao

My favourite part the entrance of the Olympic Champion, Fencing, 1976

All useless, I heard that the Games will be cancelled in 16 days, a lot of countries will pull out, all confirmed by reliable inside sources.
