Men's Marathon, last day of Boxing and Track Cycling (especially Men's Keirin and Women's Omnium) and Water Polo men's final would be at first place. Than women's finals in Basketball, Handball and Volleyball and Water Polo bronze medal match.

Day #16...this is "The End" (cit.) 
 
sadness and depression at their climax...to me, this is absolutely the worst moment of my "normal" life (except for the serious troubles, of course...we're still talking of sport, of course)...
 
by the way, my "event(s) of the day" would strongly depend on the Italian interest (= presence in some medal matches)...
 
but...if there were no Italy at all (or if Italy were present in each and every team sport final), Athletics (men's Marathon), Track Cycling (men's Keirin and women's Omnium more than anything), women's Handball Gold Medal match and men's Waterpolo Gold Medal match would surely my "not to be missed" events of the day...
 
women's Volley and Basketball would go in the second row...
 
and I promised myself not to watch a single second of the Boxing tournament, but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna keep this promise...I like the sport too much to resist temptation... 
 
in any case, it's sure that I'm not going to watch a single second of Rhythmic Gymnastics (that's too much for me) and the Closing Ceremony (that's too painful...I'm not so masochist)...
 
 
bye guys...it's been a lot of fun to live this "Neverland Olympics"...
 
but now I do really hope to live a true, genuine Olympic experience in 12 months time...

Absolutely. This was a very bad decision. Both K4-1000m and Canoe Slalom C2 were literally the best events of both sports !!! and both had to be sacrified becaise of that Bach´s gender equality bullshit fetish... (and both events are now replaced by literally the biggest jokes events of both sports)
 
and after Tokyo the same will happen to 50km Race walk
 
no words ...

First time ever  rider won a stage at Tour de Pologne 

Again day full of attractions:
- Athletics - 50km Race Walking that's biggest for me (probably for the last time  ), except that Men's 4x400m heats, Women's Race Walking, Women's Javelin nad 400m
- Basketball - women's SF
- Beach Volleyball - women's medal matches
- Boxing - only five fights but still...
- Canoe Sprint - especially Men's C1 1000m and both fours
- Track Cycling - Women's Madison looks most interesting, except that finals of Men's Sprint and first day of Women's Sprint
- Football - women's final
- Handball - women's SF
- Field Hockey - women's medal matches
- Modern Pentathlon - women's competition
- Sport Climbing - Women's Combined final (maybe with Ola Miroslaw, who knows?)
- Table Tennis - Men's Team final
- Volleyball - women's SF
- Water Polo - men's SF
- Wrestling - another day of freestyle

day #14...slowly coming towards the end...
 
so, my "Olympic depression" would normally be at its climax, entering the final weekend...
 
however, my "top event(s) of the day" are surely Wrestling (the great day of Frank Chamizo...will he finally become Olympic Champion?) and Karate (the great day of Luigi Busà...such a career can't finish without an Olympic Gold medal, he truly deserves it)...
 
also not to be missed: women's Beach Volley and women's Field Hockey Gold Medal matches, Athletics (the whole program, especially the men's 50km and the women's 20km Race Walk), Track Cycling (women's Madison above all), Sport Climbing's last event of the Games, Table Tennis (men's Team event Gold medal match), women's Modern Pentathlon and men's Waterpolo semifinals...
 
then, in the third row, all the remaining sports in the schedule...

Friday Day 14
 
I would defenitely watch athletics - whole evening session is very interesting for me. W 1500 (with Sofia Ennaoui?), W Javelin (Maria Andrejczyk?) and 4x100 relays above all.
 
Beach Volleyball W final
 
Boxing M Heavyweight final
 
W football final
 
W handball semis
 
Some track cycling, sports climbing and canoeing (can sb explain to me why they got rid of M K4 1000 and there is M K4 500 instead? This is such a stupid decision. K4 1000 was the best event, full of tactics. And M K4 500 is much less entertaing, this race is just too short).
 
 

Tomorrow and Saturday is the day for the Lithuanian Championships and pretty much every Lithuanian star is going to attend.
 
Among the participants we have Lithuanian record holders: Simas Bertašius (1500m), Edis Matusevičius (Javelin Throw), Agnė Šerkšnienė (200m, 400m), Airinė Palšytė (High Jump), Diana Zagainova (Triple Jump), Liveta Jasiūnaitė (Javelin Throw)
 
This is the first competition for Palšytė this season, Andrius Gudžius will be throwing the discus as well and he has good results from Palanga.
 
Interesting battles are going to happen in the women's 400m as well as the triple jump between Zagainova and Kilty.
 
Sadly and not sadly at the same time, I'll be away on work for both of the days, but if anything noteworthy happens, I'm gonna post here on Sunday.

For me in day 12th most important would be:
- Athletics - Men's Shot Put final (I'm really curious if it will be at the same level as in Doha), Men's Hurdles, Men's Race Walking, Men's 400m, end of Decathlon and Women's 4x400m heats (did I mention that I love 4x400m relays?)
- Beskatball - men's SF
- Boxing - another final and some semis
- Canoe Sprint - especially Women's C1 200m and K1 500m because of Polish girls
- Track Cycling - really interesting day Women's Omnium and Keirin and also Men's Sprint but only because of Mateusz Rudyk, to be honest individual sprint is probably most boring event on track  
- Handball - men's SF
- Field Hockey - men's medal matches
- Open Water Swimming - Men's 10km
- Modern Pentathlon - I truly love this sport so even Fencing Ranking Round is something I would follow even if TV broadcast is poor
- Sport Climbing - I really don't like Combined very much but Sport Climbing itself I loved moment I saw it first time at YOG in Buenos Aires so I would definitely watch final
- Table Tennis - final of Women's Team
- Volleyball - men's SF (hope with Poland but I would watch even without our team)
- Water Polo - women's SF
- Wrestling - Men's and Women's Freestyle finals
 
Damn, it's really busy day 

I wonder how many people voluntarily go and watch that knowing his life is still in danger. The TV director showing replays (multiple, from all kinds of angles) within minutes, while there were and still are fears for his life, was just disgusting. That person needs to be fired, if you don't know how to do a job (and it is a rather universal thing in sports to not show these kind of replays until more is known about someone's condition), do something else.

It wasn't mistakes, it was his psyche. At least in Rio it was because he had in his head what he did in London. And now he'll have there what he did in both London and Rio. It'll be a huge pression and I'm not totally sure that he can manage that. WCh is a different thing, it's his home but Olympics? I think Wlodarczyk is bigger favourite for gold than Fajdek. It's ironic cause she has some rivals who can defeat her, especially that she's after ijnury. Fajdek can lose only with himself but it's a very dangerous opponent. Someone ones told me that Fajdek will never get an olympic medal. It was after Moscow or Beijing WCh, I don't remember. I do remember however that I laughed in his face back then. And after that came Rio and now I'm not so sure that he was wrong. But I hope he was.

Using the word "logic" in the context of Olympic qualification is highly inappropriate.

- Athletics - Men's Hammer and Men's 800m would be most interesting for me, also Women's 3000m Steeple and first day of Decathlon
- Boxing - another final and some semifinals
- Track Cycling - Men's Team Pursuit final and Men's Sprint which is the biggest and probably the only one chance for a medal for Poland
- Equestrian - Jumping final
- Open Water Swimming - Women's 10km
- Sailing - 470 medal races
- Wrestling - last day of Greco-Roman finals and some Women's and Freestyle competitions

Ok, let's see:
 
Atlanta 1996 - Magic day 21st of July. Three gold medals for Poland: Ryszard Wolny (greco-roman wrestling 68kg), Andrzej Wroński (greco-roman wrestling 100kg) and Pawel Nastula (judo 95kg). Poland was even leader of medal table I believe because we had four golds at that time (Renata Mauer get one in 10m air rifle day before that) but I'm not sure.
 
Nagano 1998 - To be honest I don't have one. It was time I was still very young and I was watching olympics only because of polish athletes and we wasn't very good in winter sports back then  (but there was some good starts like Andrzej Bachleda in alpine combined or men's biathlon relay)
 
Sydney 2000 - Robert Korzeniowski gold in 20km race walking. He was second when he cross the line but after the race winner Mexican Segura was DSQ for running. Korzeniowski found out about that during interview for polish television.
 
Salt Lake City 2002 - Bjoerndalen four gold medals in biathlon, Lajunen three golds in nordic combined and of course Steven Bradbury.
 
Athens 2004 - Magic day for Argentina. Two golds, one in basketball, one in football. First golds from a very long time.
 
Torino 2006 - Shaun White gold in halfpipe and Martins Rubenis gets first winter medal for Latvia.
 
Beijing 2008 - Bolt beating Johnson's WR on 200m and three golds of Chris Hoy.
 
Vancouver 2010 - Kowalczyk beat Bjoergen in 30km and Steven Holcomb gold in four-man bobsleigh.
 
London 2012 - Opening ceremony and Felix Sanchez gold.
 
Sochi 2014 - I don't know, it was magical olympics. Two golds of Kamil Stoch, gold of Zbigniew Brodka (who wins it with advantage of 0,003s!), gold of Justyna Kowalczyk (won with broken foot). And ladies first ski jumping competition.
 
Rio 2016 - Wayde van Niekerk WR on 400m and Ruth Beitia gold in high jump. And also WR of Anita Wlodarczyk in hammer.
 
Pyeongchang 2018 - Two gold medals in two-man bobsleigh for Kripps and Friedrich, David Gleirscher gold in men's singles luge and German ice hockey team.
 
Tokyo 2020 - Opening ceremony because when it'll begin I'll know that everything is just fine.

Definitely the Gold Medal of Abhinav Bindra in 2008 Beijing in 10m Air Rifle. Where I distributed sweets to my colleagues after that. My students doing live commentary n all shouting n clapping inside the classroom. All inside the academy were startled to see the noise. That was beautiful moment.

Well if we want to fight for medal we have to win with this kind of teams. And to be honest if our guys won't get any I probably prefer that they loose in QF than in bronze medal match. I was really dissapointed when our handball team lost with Iceland in Beijing but it was nothing compare to their lost in Rio with Denmark. And we was bigger favourite in 2008 than in 2016.
 
Not likely, I'm affraid  Our biggest chance for gold in this century was Piotr Siemionowski and we all remember how it ended. And despite the fact that we have very talented girls and there is also Tomasz Kaczor, none of them is on position of Siemionowski before London.
 
That's only quarterfinals  Of course I will be watching matches, especially the one with our team but finals are more important to me.

I personally try to watch all sports (minus rhythmic/artistic swimming) at least once live. I'll also try to watch every event a Canadian is competing in.

- Artistic Gymnastics - last day of apparatus finals
- Athletics - Men's Pole Vault final, Duplantis vs Kendricks should one of the most interesting competitions of this Games. And of course Women's Hammer Throw final in which, I'm sure of it, Anita Wlodarczyk will win gold.
- Boxing - first finals
- Canoe Sprint - especially Women's K1 200m and K2 500m where I count for medals
- Track Cycling - Men's Team Sprint is always very spectaculary
- Sailing - Finn and Nacra medal races
- Wrestling - another Greco-Roman finals and of course women's competition

Well, you have to enter some section (for your thread Totallympics Mixed Zone would be probably the best) and then click "New Thread" or "New Topic" (I can't remember) in right-up corner (or if you have Polish language then it's "Nowy temat"). 

My 10th day would be look like this:
- artistic gymnastics apparatus finals day 2
- athletics - from finals most interesting for me is 3000m steeplachase but also men's hammer qualifications should be like this because of Pawel Fajdek, will he finally advance to the olympic final for the first time in his life or again not?
- badminton finals
- cycling track - my favorite kind of cycling (yeah, I know, it's strange) so I definitely would watch every day of competition
- equestrian - end of eventing (for me most interesting) competition
- sailing - 49er and 49erFX medal races
- shooting - men's rapid pistol final - it's my favorite kind of pistol/rifle events
- wrestling - first finals but also other event in my favorite greco-roman and also some women's competition
 

Couldn't write yesterday so I'll catch up if you don't mind.
 
So 8th day:
- archery men's finals
- athletics - especially 4x400m mixed; I don't like idea of mixed events very much but I love 4x400m relays on the other hand so... 
- badminton doubles finals
- rugby 7 women's finals
- sailing RS:X medal races
- shooting mixed team trap (same problem as in athletics)
- triathlon mixed relay (and again)
 
And now 9th day:
- artistic gymnastics finals
- athletics - probably men's 800m semis would be more exciting for me than men's 100m final
- badminton women's single finals
- sailing laser and laser radial medal races
- swimming - all my favourite distances would be that day: 50m freestyle, 4x100m medley and 1500m
- first day of wrestling 

I think that it will be only a small adventure for the home Olympics... His focus his athletics, for now
