Crispin Duenas has advanced to the Ro16 in men's archery.

CBP is in the semis!

Giant upset, Buitendag beat Marks O.o

AVF is out after a pretty underwhelming fight against .

This will be the first judo event where Japan will not win a medal.

Osaka is down two breaks and really not looking good ATM.

CBP with an ippon within a minute, moved into the quarterfinals!

is in the semifinals of the women's team épée!

Igarashi did it! What a crazy heat.

I'm not sure how you can watch this first men's semifinals and think surfing is boring.

Making the top 8 is a great result for the team, especially since they had a pretty tough group. And Canada has beaten New Zealand before, so we never know. Once you get to the quarterfinals in rugby 7s there really isn't an easy matchup.

Canada somewhat miraculously made the quarterfinals in the men's rugby 7s tournament, thanks to Ireland accidentally putting the ball in touch too early. Canada will face New Zealand in the quarterfinals.

I believe Canada made the quarterfinals by 2 points over Ireland.

28 is pretty old for a swimmer on the women's side. Canada could have a shot in the medley relay if we discover a good breastroker in the next couple days :P

They did win what is probably the most important event to them (the men's 4x100m free) in a minor upset, so this isn't a disastrous meet for them or anything.

Summer gold. still has the honour of being the smallest country ever to win gold.

I believe they are ahead of Canada, so they should be safe.

Real shame Masse will likely never win an Olympic gold after her back-to-back world titles

Great to see Duffy win, both because she's been one of the most consistently great triathlete in the world and because of the historic nature of her gold medal.

I mean, you could hold surfing in a wave pool, which produces rideable waves at predictable times (the format of surfing contests is completely different in a wave pool). The problem is that you lose a lot of the skills important skills of the sport when you take the sport out of the ocean. I duno, I think surfing is fine as is. Not every sport has to be super exciting to watch live. There are plenty of other Olympic sports that have long periods where nothing exciting happens anyway.

Based on what I remember the qualification document saying the teams in bold will qualify Mladenovic / Mahut (8) Sakkari / Tsitsipas (23) Mattek-Sands / Ram (23) Pavlyuchenkova / Rublev (25) Dabrowski / Auger-Aliassime (29) Jurak / Dodig (31) Stefani / Melo (41) Podoroska / Zeballos (42) Stojanovic / Djokovic (43) Shibahara / McLachlan (48) Siegemund / Krawietz (49) Melichar / Krajicek (54) Sabalenka / Ivashka (69) Ferro / Herbert (70) Watson / Salisbury (77) Vesmoma / Karatsev (79) Giorgi / Sonego (84) Osorio Serrano / Farah (86) Friedsam / Puetz (100) Errani / Fognini (135) Sinakova / Machac (148) Pigossi / Demoliner (241) Mirza / Nagal (297) Shvedova / Golubev (489) Chan / Lu (568)

Well this was a good team competition.

Men's foil gold for O.o Only the second Olympic gold ever for Hong Kong.

Bellio sets the inaugural women's 1500m free Olympic record in 16:24.37.
