    Canada has the biggest Ukrainian diaspora outside of Ukraine, so a lot of Canadians (especially Western Canadians) have Eastern-European family names and ancestry from what is now Ukraine.

    They've been unlucky in general, but not in the vault finals. Karmakar's Produnova was clearly a fall and it was quite generously marked all things considered.

    Surely this is the best team table tennis tie in Olympic history.

    Both our boxers that fought today out, too (so Mandy is the only one left).

    Barber clears 5.60m on his first attempt. Go figure.
  6. NearPup
    Shawn Barber clears 4.45m to stay alive.

    Ya, her javelin was aweful.
  8. NearPup
    Theisen Eaton on 5681 points after her first javelin attempt, which puts her ahead of Jones and Johnson-Thompson.

    Ervin winning again, that's incredibly impressive o.o

    It's such a funny configuration of people to share a medal.
  11. NearPup
    They will have a playoff for any medal position, not just gold.

    I knew Oleksiak was good from her performance in the trials. "Maybe a relay medal and an individual medal if she's lucky and she'll be great in 2020" good. I never expected her to do so well. She's exceded all expectations, and she still has the medley relay left (and at this point, who knows what Canada will do). Simone Manuel also swam way over expectation. Such an unlikely result, this was a race for the ages.

    I was glad to see her win her gold after so many silver and bronze medals at worlds / Olympics. It was s great race, too.

    Incredible Olympics by Oleksiak and Ruck. The sky is the limit for these two.

    ...related to my last comment, it's hard to believe it's been 12 years since Athens.

    Glad to finally see Greece win another gold medal. Hard to imagine it's been 8 years since they had won one...

    I really dislike the seeding (or lack therof) is done in the women's soccer tournament. Canada finished third in their group in 2012 and had a similarely dificult draw to the other two teams, this time being second gives you a better draw. It's weird.

    Superb comeback by the Germans in show jumping and superb showing by Jung. Two almost flawless Olympics in a row.

    17 - 12 from Rugby and the five from the rellay (including Penny). From watching quite a few Rugby 7s over the past few years I feel this is about the deserved position for this team. Glad they showed their potential in the bronze medal match.

    Surely the team gold will sooth things over? Besside, it's not like South Korea has a history of gold medals in men's individual archery (London was their first).

    That was an absolutely terifying fall, glad they seem alright though. Wasn't so sure for a few seconds :/
  22. NearPup
    Well, that was an entertaining game if nothing else...
  23. NearPup
    I actually wish Karate was just Kata (and team Kata) conpetitions. At least that's something unique (and IMO Kumite just looks terrible on TV).
  24. NearPup
    No, that's later (9th IIRC).
  25. NearPup
    Aren't a lot of the good Dutch players from their Caribbean islands?
