And here we go with 15 golds and 34 total medals for , close to the Gracenote prediction that many called unrealistic in this regard

Very sad for Finland especially...

Unexpectedly leaving without medals:
 
 first time since 2012.
 first time since 2000.
first time since 1996.
 first time in all olympic history, counting both summer and winter games.
 
 

IOC reduced number of events and athletes in many great sports. Thats a huge issue that new P. must solve.
Breakdancing is a total mess, total fiasco. 
Surfing is mostly boring to watch but i still liked it.
Skateboarding doesnt need both street and park, only one event is enough.
All mixed events are boring and should be excluded.
IOC must influence general public, not vice versa.

Here to enjoy the 'white' tears 

Do you know who is this and what this fingers mean? This is Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva, who had Tin Lin as her opponent. Before Tin's hand was raised, Svetlana showed a X sign, meaning "l am a real woman with only X chromosomes".
 
And after this her coach made a protest 

 
 

And now they defeat Busca/Sorribes Tormo (6-1, 6-2) and go to the final!

Yeah, the usual suspect websites here are suddenly interested in the Olympics as well, because there's drama to be made and 'omg, woke!! woke!!' to be yelled  

The biggest fakenews of olympic story.
 
The far right made it just out of control in brazil.

The  TeamNL house in the village has been nicely decorated and the first athletes (the womens archery team) arrived today by train. Tomorrow the next groups of athletes will arrive: skateboarders, gymnasts, the male archer and the womens handball team. All travelling by train or bus from the Netherlands. The hockeyteams will follow on monday. I hope the TeamNL media team will once again make daily vlogs from the village, these were a highlight in Tokyo and Beijing!
