I had a bad feeling when these dumb girls decided to attend the opening ceremony instead of resting... Always happens the same, they lose to USA, they finish 2nd in group and then they end up with a crappy bronze. I don't want to lose another semi to Holland, I hope they lose vs Australia and finish 3rd.

Of course our perfect day had to be ruined by this team, and with the stupidiest goal ever.

Bet contest alert... two questions answered at once: Argentina wins a gold medal in Rio 2016 and a nation (the same one) won it's first ever Judo gold medal.

That's it, I don't need to watch the next 15 days this is all I wanted.

48kg W Bronze medal matches vs vs Gold medal match vs 60kg M Bronze medal matches vs vs Gold medal match vs

Vietnam

OMG Brazil in lead

Vietnam's first ever gold is close

Great finish, made up for the big crash earlier.

This is gaining emotion, good go denmark/belgium

No what a disaster

Belgium surprisingly thrashed GB 4-1 without Tom Boon. Probably means they will finish 2nd and 3rd in the group respectively.

Semifinals: 48kg W vs vs 60kg M vs vs

haha I was like "yes, yes, she's gonna lose" but no lol Anyway, if you want a medal you have to beat someone important at some point.

Amazing win for Kondo, she was down a waza-ari but pulled a Osaekomi with only 5 seconds to the end.

Paula won and is in semis BUUUUT Menezes and Munkhbat lost and if Paula loses the semi (probably vs Kondo) she will have to fight one of the two for the bronze

These will fight for the medals in -60kg M: vs vs vs vs

No much surprises in -48kg W These will fight for the medals: vs vs vs vs

I finally saw a pic of our building and we are with
