Kim Woojin just shot 90/90 in the last 16.... wow!! 

Damn, Henk Grol came with a mission for gold in his final tournament (unlikely as it was), but within 25 seconds an Uzbek throws him on his back and a day later in the team event the same Uzbek does the same thing...in 19 seconds  

He’s probably not the only one that needs to go. Performance is an issue, but by all accounts the culture in Rugby Canada is an even bigger issue.

I'm guessing some people at Rugby Canada are going to start editing their résumé...

Labbé is the MVP.

We also got a surprising gold medal this morning so it's not like it's been all bad luck.

Daniell / Venus win New Zealand's first ever tennis medal!

“Six weeks ago I was told I was lucky to be alive, and when they made the team announcements I was literally limping out of the hospital with a broken collarbone,” she said. “I just can’t believe I’m here.”
 
Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski is a legend.

MacLeannan is very unlikely to repeat with her finals score, but it sounds like it's a giant victory for her just to be there.

Ya, no shame in that 4th place. She's actually better than she was in 2016, the Aussies just showed up this time.

Sorry guys, for the late answers, I wanted to watch the archery final, so had no time to look to the thread
 
 
Very happy for the medal, obviously. Jakub just saved our canoe slalom face here (and not only the face but clearly also the ass). God bless him for this.
 
Our 30th medal at the Summer Olympic Games since the independence. 13h Silver (10 - 13 - 7)
 
the 19th in Canoeing Slalom, 7th Silver (8 - 7 -4), but the fun fact, believe it or not it is the very first medal in M K1
 
 
and now about the race itself. There were no doubts Prskavec will win gold, This was almost as sure bet as W C1 for Fox. Prskavec is just from another planet, the guy is right now unbeatable and he showed it today.
 
What a final run from him, pure canoeing slalom orgasm
 
Also a special mention to , They returned in force after the failure in Rio from zero medals to 4 ! The only nation to win medal in every event ! Respect.
 
I will write a more detailed recap of Canoeing Slalom competitions, no worries, but after the games
 
Congrats   was great to stand together on the same podium again
 
and p.s.  Thank you guys for your support and cheering, really appreciate it.
 

IT'S NOT FAIR..... THEY HAD 2 BOATS IN THIS RACE!!

It was a big mistake for Slovak TV to build their TV studio near the whitewater course.

So far we have had 10! fourth (or fifth in combat) sport finishes.
 
Rose + Caeli Mckay less than point away from bronze in their events after suffering a badly sprained ankle. Couldn't ask for more.
4 NR's in swimming (100m free, 400m free, 4x200 relay and 4x100 m relay men). They did their best and really no room for improvement at the time.
Caroline Veyre gave it her all and won some points, she wasn't expected to beat her Italian opponent anyways. 
Shady El Nahas fought hard in the bronze medal match against 2 time defending WC Fonseca of Portugal
Kai Langerfeld and Conlin McCabe had a great pairs race, and werent' expected to medal, so their medal was remarkable.
 
The only one that is hard to take is Arthur Margelidon's performance. He made a small mistake costing him the medal
 
 
Yea, I would have liked more medals, but the end of the day these are ALL remarkable performances, which we should ultimately be happy with 

I'm disappointed because its another 4th place for Canada - but I'm incredibly proud of Rosie for being such a trooper through her recent injury. She's been a great ambassador for Canada. Canada has had a string of good luck in this event and I'm sad that its come to an end....for now.
 

Well, great performance from MacLeannan. What a legendary career. Unfortunate that these will be the first Olympics where Canada doesn't win a trampoline medal, I think it's clear that Gymnastics Canada has to develop some new talent.

Just to remember you guys that it is the TV who is producing the shooting coverages in Tokyo. so all my appologies, but I warned you before the games
 
No idea though why OBC asked our TV to do it. Our TV send 20 members crew and did...  well, how to say it..what they could  so blame OBC
