Really excellent scores for the two Lithuanian girls in Zakrzow on their 8 year old horses... Heck, Sysojeva scored nearly 75% !! At this rate, Lithuania will be looking to qualify in both dressage and eventing for the next Olympics. Maybe even a full team in dressage is in the cards. Insane.

Plenty of girls, but no one to match Krupeckaitė and Marozaitė in the same team. During Nationals and Baltics Lithuania had several 3-women teams going for the title, but results failed to match federation's qualification standards. Just like our federation refused to send men's team sprint team, despite sending two male sprinters to the championships.

3 golds and 1 bronze for Amira and good championships for Egypt overall  
 

Only 55 countries participating...  At least  sending 3 female archers.

Anyway, good news is that a female gymnast from  won a medal at the World Cup/World Challenge Cup circuit for the first time ever. 

Just noticed Try Guys collab video with Olympic channels around breaking.
If anyone interested - from 10:54 mark they explain the Olympic rules and judging system:
