This is just ridiculous. Either FINA or IOC has to make a call here after the Games because this can't happen again. It's shameful that is here with such a team.

Amazing, the 7th and 8th seeds are in the final, v . What a chance for the hosts.

Oh God no.... This is terrible.

It's not that shocking, Bashaev is a beast. Unfortunate draw, that QF was most likely the real final.

v and v The fact that none of are in the Top4 of men's epée team is WILD. 1912 was the last Olympic Games that this happened. Out of the 4 semi-finalists only / / has won Olympic medals in this event before. The other 3 will make history if they win a medal. would make history with a gold as they have never won this event.

It looks like none of the Top4 seeds will be in the SF. This is why I am so angry about us not qualifying. Anything can happen in this event, we could have even won the gold medal if we are here, if only Rédli didn't mess up his last bout against ...

That's epée for ya. It's not that shocking, Japan was able to reach the SF in multiple World Cup events and France was only 7th at the last WC.

And one final 7th place, thanks for everything Laci!

That was nice from Telegdy, I didn't expect a 5th place from him before the Games.

Just as I though, Milák would most likely have to break the WR to beat Dressel, because Dressel will either swim close to the WR or he will break it. And yeah, Milák isn't swimming under 49.5

Nice, new OR from Milák. Maybe, just maybe, he can somehow go under 50.

China losing gold medals in table tennis, badminton and weightlifting, Italy is potentially missing out on a gold in fencing, and now the US not winning any medals in rowing AND Great Britain maybe not winning any gold medals.... Please, Tokyo2020, spare us in Canoe Sprint.

I think 1980 was also the last Games didn't win any gold medals in rowing. Men's eight is their last chance this time.

None of Rio's Top3 is on the podium in women's eight, there sure is a big change in this event.

Delayed due to weather, maybe it will start 45 minutes later.

Nice, finally on the medal table and with a gold!

I know, I am just really scared about in women's kayak because I don't know anything about their form.

If this is an indication of how strong is at this venue, we are kinda fucked in women's kayak.

wants to break the record for most 4th places.

That's too many lost medals for us, I guess Gracenote overrated us. We had 10 medal chances so far, and out of those we got 2 gold and 3 other medals. 50% success rate is about what anyone should expect, a country never turns close to 100% of its chances to a medal. And even our lost chances were close to the podium, so nobody flopped hard so far. These are the medal chances I listed for the first six days: men's sabre ind - gold men's 200m fly - gold men's epée ind - silver men's sabre team - bronze men's 90kg judo - bronze men's 400m medley - 4th women's sabre ind - 4th women's 200m fly - 4th women's 400m medley - 5th men's 10m air rifle - 5th Technically we lost one more in 200m fly, but I never double up in an event because I know how hard it is for a country to claim 2/3 of the podium, it almost never happens for us. I would say that this is fine so far, if we would have one more medal in swimming from those 4th places I wouldn't complain much. The issue is that we got a few medal chances coming up that look kinda bad at the moment.

There goes the gold for ...

+0.1 for Andrade

The annoying thing about this is that Kovács was done with most of her routine when she fell off. Oh well, I am glad that she's in the final, the placement isn't that important. But yeah, the beam can crush many dreams today.

lol at that "new WR".

And wins. will have to save this tournament against
