    I thought the last touch in the men's foil final was... fine? I think got a bit hard done on the first simultaneous, but in real time I agreed with the call and you need to slow it down quite a bit for it to be apparent than had a slight advantage. Second simultaneous I think leaned for , and the hit that won gold was clearly theirs. Can't comment on any other hits though, other than the women's foil bronze medal match I didn't watch much of in fencing.

    Assuming they run the triathlon tomorow :P But ya, the triathlon is a wildcard and we also have some half chances in judo. I do think any one of them converting would be a good overall result.
  3. NearPup
    Well, very good day for , converted the three biggest medal chances, and won gold in the two events it was favoured to win gold in. I think winning a medal of any kind tomorow would be a big success, rugby obviously being the best shot. I personally don't really see any swimming medal happening tomorow, but always the chance that there is a surprise.

    Fencing has been so good these Olympics. What a way to end the individual events.

    Simultané at 14-14 of a gold medal bout is insane (and would have been my call as a very, very novice and rusty ref :P )

    Incredible heat between Bouukhiam and Chianca. Neither of them deserves to be eliminated in the Ro16.
  7. NearPup
    Really big turnaround compared to the disastrous Tokyo performance for the women's rugby team. Good to see.
  8. NearPup
    beats 19-14! Mild upset IMO.
  9. NearPup
    Didn't the ball clearly go out of bound one second after the end of the half in the match?

    Radio Canada is pretty uneven when it comes to the quality of the commentary, but their good commentators are very good. And they def do more homerism than CBC does (which is a bit contrary to the stereotype that Quebecois aren't patriotic - they sure are during the Olympics :P )

    I'm loving this shallow, slow pool. Who cares about world records when you can have good racing?
  12. NearPup
    Don't remind me, that previous Smith denied it's first summer Olympic gold in... suspect fashion :P
  13. NearPup
    Absolutely amazing race.
  14. NearPup
    They have some big Ds.
  15. NearPup
    stole it at the death! Amazing!
  16. NearPup
    A top six would be huge for the team. ...tbh just qualifying for the final was their win, every position above eighth is a win :D

    I mean, cancelation is a spectrum. Big difference between "OBS asking you to take the day off for this to blow over" and "OBS won't work with you ever again" (and obviously lots of stuff in the middle).
  18. NearPup
    By cancel do you mean the "fired from his job and banned for life from working anywhere" variety or the "some people on Twitter are tuttutting him" variety?
  19. NearPup
    She really looked at this relatively weak field and said "oh, I can win a medal in this" didn't she? xD
  20. NearPup
    Ironically she was on the other side of that xD Obviously Deguchi didn't perform well but, like, Huh wasn't fighting any better. By my (albeigh pretty surface level) understanding of judo rule this was a reasonable albeigh very anticlimactic result. To me this feels more like a problem with the rules than anything else.
  21. NearPup
    And he was fourth in a great final. It wasn't handed to him, people were on their game today.
  22. NearPup
    What do you pick for the highlight package? xD Like I think the decision was correct but this was as unimpressive as I've seen an Olympic champion look outside of outright roberies.
  23. NearPup
    Won't complain, but I won't pretend there was any panache in this win. Still, first ever Judo gold for and first gold of the games. Very happy for Deguchi.
  24. NearPup
    Yay! ...but this is also a pretty anticlimactic way to win our first gold xD

    Canada could lose all their remaining fencing bouts and there would still be a big party at Fencing Canada after this. Hard to imagine these Olympics going much better for the fencing team (and the women's foil team remains an outside medal shot)
