Kristjan Ceh sneaks through with 2 false attempts out of 3. 8th place.

Prescod sneaks through with 1 thousand ahead of the S. African (sorry I overlooked that Vicaud qualified with big Q)

Wow an Australian defeats Johan Blake.

technical delegate's answer: he is not exactly sure what happened, but the start machine also logs the exact forces and pressures from which they can guess which kind of movement happened (this is sth I did not understand fully)

The question still stands but now with no real stake as 3 candidates for small q are now Brommel, Vicaut of and Tortu of . So Prescod is out with 1 heat to go.

Eurosport commentators asked the technical delegate to the Olympics, when he answers back it will be posted live. If that happens (soon) I'll keep you posted.

Athletics - Women's 100m Semi-Final Summary | Tokyo 2020 (olympics.com) Teahna Daniels with small q

Good idea, thanks! Tried out and the same with Spanish. I will use it this way then.

I wanted to watch the womens vault anyway, but even more with this. Go Andrade, go!

My only gripe with ES player is that when they have multiple streams from the same event (athletics, gymnastics), they dont bother naming them, it is just called "Gymnastics - women- day X". What it would cost to put there "Gymnastics - women all-around - vault" for example? Same with athletics. It takes a lot of time to find the stream I am looking for. Plus: I too find ESP of good value. My yearly plan renewed in June or July this year (last year I got 4 or 5 months free due to the coronavirus pandemic when there was nothing to broadcast live for several months), so it will be valid in time for Beijing. Therefore I get two Olympic Games worth of content out of one year's subscription. Not bad for € 24.99

I am probably the last person here who would be pro-Russia - by "Russia" I mean here the regime led by Dear Leader Vladimir Vladimirovich and all state and administrative structures (sporting bodies included), but even I feel that this "Russia, Russia, Russia" thing has gone too far here. Sometimes it just feels like an intelectually lazy cop-out or excuse

I am wondering what will happen in Paris. Will the swimming finals begin at 02.00/2am in order to be able to broadcast at 20.00/8pm Eastern?

Didn't watch the race live (I will later) but congrats to and @hckošice again!

For me, more or less: 7:45 - Trampoline gymnastics W - Final 8:30 - Water polo, USA vs. ROC 11:20 - Water polo, HUN vs. JPN (until the start of athletics) 12:00 - Athletics (in it Shot put W qualification with Anita Marton) At some point from replay: W trampoline quali, BMX, rowing 8s, kayak slalom M final, plus from swimming the 100 fly semifinal of Milak and the last-ever race of Laszlo Cseh in the 200m IM

Agree, I would say 5-6 golds at most. W/ regards to swimming, the 4th places are the most disappointing (probably not only the fans, but also the athletes concerned). Hosszú is a different story: unfortunately she was one on the long list of sportspeople whose OG preparations were scr*ed up by Covid-19

I was bummed when it turned out that she missed the gold medal with only 0.137 or so. But very happy about the Brazilians winning the medal. Congrats to you and all Brazilians in this forum!

Carey of just fell from the beam, so yeah.

Luckily, UB routine of the competitor was included in the main broadcast, and it was worth it. Good job by Zsofia Kovacs. 14.233.

Beautiful vault by the competitor. Too bad for the landing, it could have been 15.4

Well done !

This time I think you have a point. Someone's parents being in the international Federation of course helps that person's career in that sport, but it cannot create talent out of nowhere. And this sport is not one where jury's composition is important (figure skating for example), or when a match official can influence the outcome of the match (boxing khm khm, but also most fighting sports, could also tell their experiences about fencing, water polo, etc.) If I understand this correctly, the claim here is that this event was included in Olympic programme just to help Fox win the gold medal? And what happens when Fox retires? Do they take it out then ?

Sorry for being late, but I am just dropping in to congratulate to and our friend @hckošice ! Well done!

Apparently, Katinka Hosszu is receiving a lot of abuse in social media for her performance in the Olympics. Both the guest commentator in TV (a former swimmer) and her team mates defended her in today's live broadcast. Even V. Orban wrote the following comment to her FB post: "Once a champion, always a champion. Whoever had the national anthem played in their honor in the Olympics, forever remains a hero for us" (approximate translation) This is one of the very rare instances when I agree with him completely!

Wow, this jury was worthy of an AIBA boxing match... Plus the scoring equipment clearly failed to signal two clear points by the Hungarian (once there was audible contact between the sabre and the opponent's helmet) Szilagyi was probably in the same mental state as Biles yesterday - but the advantage was big enough to overcome all this At least the bronze medal is now in the bag

Now official: congratulations Slovenia & Roglic !
