First ever Olympic victory in wrestling by .
 
San Marino has done a great job developing wrestlers by... lucking out that a good American wrestler happened to have a great-grandmother form San Marino :P

And let's hope they will win only 1 of them 

Poland may have won the contest for best wordplay (POL/SKA) on a skateboarding uniform, tho.

We'll count that as a honorary fourth place.

Van Rouwendaal: "Sometimes people tell that you lost the gold or something instead of won the silver, but that's just not true...my gold is at home on my nightstand and I won a silver to join it"  

Both Vincent and LVL won their heats in the women's C-1 200m. They didn't have the fastest times among heat winners, but I don't think we can read too much into that.

We'll count that as a honorary fourth place.

Well with Ana Maria Barbosu, Sabrina Voinea, Lari Iordache, Ioana Stanciulescu, Silviana Sfiringu, Mara Ceplinschi, Andreea Munteanu who is back and Antonia Duta i think Paris 2024 is safe for us and i think we will have a big chance to win at least one medal.

I'd offer sympathy, but Canada's two summer golds in team sports are both from 1904, so we don't even have video of them.
 
(Not counting the ice hockey gold from 1920, since that later became a winter Olympic sport)

Well sure looks like de Grasse is in form.

Three more years of non-stop repeats of Montreal 1976 final on Polish TV now

At least Canada doesn’t have the worst volleyball disappointed of the day (commiseration with our Polish friends)

Other than women's soccer nothing has gone right for Canada since the W8+.

Pavan is on fire all the sudden.

I don't like this format. One fence down and you are basically out? Ridiculous.
 
Mostly because all other championships are NOTHING like this. There are usually 3 jumping rounds before the individual final starts.

Good news she fell to 5th!  Maybe not another 4th!

That one qualifying throw as if he just stepped out of bed would have been good for gold in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 and silver in 2016  

That took ages, but here we are
 

Mario Deslauriers qualifies for the show jumping individual finals.

Uzbekistan reduced from 7 medals to just 1 medal by the Task Force. 

China would have had a very realistic shot at a sweep if it wasn't for the two per country rule. Their beam work right now is just on another level.

Lol fourth place for  Black. Obviously.

And very well deserved one. 
 
I understand the winner's performance was more difficult. But it was Tang Xijing pure magic here for me. Great to watch.
