20 athletes still in contention after 30km Time to head home and catch the end of this race.

To be fair, in artistic gymnastics there is a lot of overlap between the events. Even outside the Olympics FIG is barely welcoming towards specialists.

Luo still holding a 22 second lead over the rest of the field after 15km

Until they add pressure sensors to shoes this won't be happening any time soon.

Lame that the site is only updating every 5km, I can't watch the video because of work and thought I could get some decent updates

Yeah I think Australia is done in terms of gold medal favourites. They can still potentially win medals in athletics/canoeing?/cycling along with beach volleyball mentioned above, but a gold would be a surprise.

vs Gold Medal Race Here's a quick overview of the gold medal chances the two nations have going into Day 14 (note I am being generous about their chances) China Athletics - Women's 20km Walk Athletics - Women's Javelin Throw Karate - Women's -61kg Table Tennis - Men's Team Wrestling - Women's Freestyle -53kg United States Athletics - Women's 400m Athletics - Women's 4x100m Relay Karate - Men's -75kg Volleyball - Women's Beach Volleyball Wrestling - Men's Freestyle -125kg Interestingly, an even match for Day 14. China has the most secured gold medal (table tennis), but the United States may end the day just edging out China. Of course there are future gold medal chances at risk going into Day 14, here are the events where the gold medal chance may be extinguished due to an early loss. China Boxing - Women's Middleweight Canoeing - Women's C2 500m Cycling - Women's Individual Sprint Diving - Men's 10m Platform Wrestling - Women's Freestyle -50kg United States Basketball - Women's Tournament Boxing - Men's Lightweight Volleyball - Women's Indoor Tournament Wrestling - Men's Freestyle -97kg Wrestling - Women's Freestyle -50kg I suspect there will be some gold medal chances loss between the two nations. Obviously each loss for the United States will make things harder, at the very worst they must match their losses with China.

By my "gold medal chance" counter I have the United States winning by 1, but China has a 5 gold lead plus some safer gold medal chances. It'll come down to who can get the most "maybe golds"

Day 13 was a good day with three medals. Day 14 has a chance at being another good day for Canada. We are already guaranteed a medal in football (women's tournament) while athletics has quite a few chances with men's 4x100m relay, men's 5000m, women's 1500m and while unlikely the men's 50km walk might produce a good result.

I think Maloney has it and Lepage will finish fourth

Warner got 4.90m, looking good so far.

Looks like we are down to five swimmers

Aubry has withdrawn

Wellbrock looks quite strong hard to see him lose this race (even if there are three guys about 10 second behind him).

He needs to make a move very soon, he's about a minute behind with around 4km remaining.

Paltrinieri has left the chase group and is trying to reach the lead group on his own.

At the 5.2km mark, Wellbrock leads with Rasovszky second and Olivier third. Five others are closing the gap while everyone else is falling off the pace.

Wellbrock gets absorbed by Olivier/Rasovszky, the three are now together

Unless the rest of the field picks things up (or one of them gets gassed) we may have our top three. Fourth place is over 20 seconds behind Olivier/Rasovszky, not an insurmountable lead.

Wellbrock with an early lead

Canada picks up its fourth gold on Day 12. Day 13 could be another good day with medal chances in athletics (men's decathlon), canoeing (women's C1 200m), cycling (women's keirin) and diving (women's 10m platform)

This is a much better format than street.

Algeria is already 1:30 behind the lead.

It is for the best, even if it means I won't be able to watch it

So any bets as to how many athletes will compete in the jump-off? I'm going to go with 6
