🇺🇾 Juan Izquierdo, 27, football player from Nacional. He had an arrythmia in the end of the match against Sao Paulo in Copa Libertadores, then cardiac arrest and brain damage before death. Shocking news, the saddest part is that he has two little kids and the younger one was born a couple days ago.

Let's be honest, most of the swimming distances are redundant  There isn't something that unique of doing 100 or 200 meters. But because the sport is as popular as it is and has a big branding of creating superstars, who can win "countless medals", it gets a pass on the program.
 
If we were looking objectively, compared with the other sports, the swimming schedule should be only:
 
- 100 m for the 4 styles
- 400 and 1500 m freestyle 
- 400 m individual medley
- 4x100 freestyle and 4x100 medley relays 
- Mayyyyyybe a mixed relay 
 
 

1) 6/10
 
2) Surprise: Jose Torres in BMX freestyle
Heartbreak: Men's rugby 7s
 
3) There was no official goal but all  members here expected around 3 medals so I guess the goal was reached.
 
4) No sport will be invested more in the future. In fact, we'll be hoping for no more budget cuts...
 
5) better not jinx people here so no names. We have very few individual sport young talents but there are couple that are looking good, mostly in Sailing, BMX racing, artistic gymnastics and swimming. Among team sports, the hockey and rugby teams should remain strong in theory given good recent results at youth level.

not in a celebration mood because of what happened in other sports, but this is Iran's first gold medal in this sport in 16 years and we have to thank some very special organization for this. the UK government !
 
few months ago for the last ranking tournament (GP final), the UK denied visa for the entire Iranian team. our 58kg guy Haji-Mousaei was VERY close to the quota but lost it because of that. the WT did nothing about it, just giving some promises about this won't happen again. 
 
with max 2 quotas per country rule , if Iran had won that quota, we wouldn't be able to send anybody to the Asian qualifiers. our TKD federation had a tough decision to make about who to send to the AQT. they picked up +80kg (and not 58kg)
 
and, Arian Salimi, the +80kg guy won the gold tonight, ironically beating a British fighter in the final. (while the rest of the British team went home empty handed)
 
pure justice, isn't it ?

right of Czechia above of Hungary. A small country with lovely nature but weak athletes.

It's a nice feeling to tell my disabilititated daughter these girls have to jump over water and see the smile on her face.
Priceless feeling.

Lo más inteligente que pueden hacer: pactar con los tanos de acá a mañana y que nos lleven "de la manito" toda la carrera 

Uf, qué manera de zafar. Igual PB nos va a aniquilar jugando así.

Not that shocking, Zheng was the only one who won a set against Iga in RG 2022 before collapsing physically and she has the game to bother her. Swiatek didn't have it this week, too many nerves I guess. The bronze is hers, though. A Zheng-Vekic final would be cool.

I’m late (again), but congratulations  on your first Olympic medal in Paris and a gold at that

This was a legendary swim session:
 
The sprint GOAT  Sjöström finally gets her 2nd career Olympic gold, 8 years after her first one  Marchand gets his 1st gold medal in the 200m butterfly of the night beating the world record holder  Milak Arguably the female GOAT  Ledecky wins her 8th Olympic gold and 12th Olympic medal and now holds the top 20 times ever  Marchand completes the insane 200m butterfly-200m breaststroke double with yet another gold  Pan Zhanle smashes the 100m freestyle world record by 0.4 seconds to beat arguably the most stacked 100m freestyle field in history

Congrats to all our Argentinian friends on here on a gold medal! Honestly so happy for you all especially given the setback at the start of the Games in the rugby. These are the things that make me love the Olympics. I hope it helps to brighten the mood again.  

Me alegro de haberme equivocado 
 
Ojalá sirva de motivación para el resto y saque algo de presión.

If anyone would have said me that a guy from Košice suburb with whom I walked daily to my elementary school will be the best European skater at the Olympics and finish in 5th place, I would have probably called a shrink for that guy.
 
What an absolutely insane result from Tury here. Imagine we have only 2 skateparks in whole Košice (2nd biggest city of the country) and I guess not more than some ten in total in the whole country. Country with no background and absolutely no history in this sport. This result is all and entirely on Richard himself, he went for his dream. Missed Tokyo so closely in the very last race. but did not gave up, continued to work hard, learning from videos from the best and look what he achieved at his 31.
 
Huge respect man. I remember him as young kid already walking everywhere with his skateboard. but, I would have never guessed I will write such sentences some 20 years later

Lástima ese sombrerito fallido de Moneta. Jugando mal y todo estaban a nada de ir a suplementario y ahí andá a saber qué pasaba.
 
Y bueno, a prenderle velas a Las Leonas, el Nacra y la Mascheneta. Después de ver el sorteo del tenis, si había alguna esperanza ahí, ya fue.

Agregaría a los Leones con una pequeña chance, hay mucho talento individual y el torneo masculino está MUY abierto (no me sorprendería especialmente que cualquiera de los equipos top 8 gane el oro). 
 

Es raro, pero después de lo de ayer le tengo fe al fútbol. Esto les va a servir de combustible interno y más si jugamos contra Francia en cuartos. La defensa no da garantías y Mascherano menos, pero ahora al menos hay algo de donde agarrarse desde la moral.
 
Los Pumas mano a mano contra Francia también, otra guerra. Veremos qué sale.
