Lots of medal options. So is this how Canada, Norway and Germany feel when the winter season comes around?

It's not Bratheen's best discipline and considering the time he's been out of an official competition, a fourth place is a great result. It's so cool to watch this sport, of course I'm only watching because Brazil is being represented, but maybe I'll pay more attention to some Winter Olympic sport other than curling and short track.

Best World Cup result in history in any Winter Olympic sport, after sixth place in snowboarding in 2014.

In their defense, I've seen much worse in other sports.

Hirscher managed to qualify after 6 years without competing.

Finally a Brazil vs Argentina final in a World Cup in any football discipline. That's going to be exciting.

Raicca Ventura is the world champion in women's park. A great result for what was our worst discipline in olympic skateboarding. I don't think the olympic medalists were there, but a score of 93.73 should be enough to compete with them and maybe beat them. High expectations for her in this cycle.

So one of Brazil/Iran/Serbia/Egypt will be in the semifinals? Another version of Slovenia in 2022.

What a fantastic day for Brazil at the Paralympics, with several records: Most gold medals won at a Paralympic Games ever. Most total medals won at a Paralympic Games ever. Most golds and total medals won in a single day at a Paralympic Games ever. All this on our Independence Day .

What a beautiful party for . A beautiful image, for sure.

What a disaster this women's 100m T63 race was.

The battle for fifth place in the medal table has been quite a spectacle. Up until the beginning of today, there were 5 countries in the running, but now it will probably be a battle between and (each has a gold medal almost guaranteed to come).

Yes, there was a lot of talk here that surfers like Medina and Vaast were favorites in Tahiti because the judges in Tahiti valued that type of trick. I always wondered, how did they value it? Is it simply a question of which trick the judge likes the most and that's it? In any case, I maintain my position, this should not be an Olympic sport.

An aerial like that only gets an 8, seriously? You can say that the criteria for this sport are subjective, but if that thing isn't worth at least a 9, what kind of shitty sport is this? And curiously, JJF with a simpler trick gets a higher score than that?
