Vektor

is here to challenge the Germans for the men's C2 gold.

That's smart from our C2 boat, they are saving their energy for the QF, they know that this heat is very likely too strong for them.

Yep, Carrington is fast as usual, has a chance to go for 4/4.

Yep, even Kehr is ahead of him now, it's over. I knew that he will likely not win a medal, but to not even qualify for the final...

That's it for Halász... another disappointment for us.

That was incredibly close for Lucz but she's through.

Fajdek lives! (probably)

Fuck, Halász is also in trouble now.

Oh fuck, Fajdek, don't do this again... I though that he would surely improve on the second attempt.

It could have been better, but that's not a bad start from Halász.

It looks like there's a good chance Fajdek won't mess up the qualification this time.

Foreign athletes are only making things worse here with this, but I doubt they care about that... The popularity of Fidesz/Orbán is on the rise again and this issue is dividing the opposition, Orbán will win the election if LGBT will be in front and center of it because most Hungarians either don't care about gay people or support Orbán's anti-LGBT stance.

I have to say that I am kinda dreading the start of these because of the crazy suprises at these Games and also because Hungarian athletes aren't having a great SOG. Our goal is 3 gold medals, like in Rio and London, and it's definitely plausible... but it's also plausible that we flop and don't win any, like the Brits in rowing or the Italians in fencing. We are definitely not as strong in women's kayak as we were in Rio, Kozák is getting old and we don't have anyone who's as amazing as she is/was. But the good news is that we improved in men's kayak compared to Rio and have better chances... except in K4 where we are really bad for some reason. Sigh.

You know the world has gone mad when Italy doesn't win a single gold medal in fencing, but they win the 100m. Can't wait for Jamaica to win men's foil in 2024.

What would peak Bolt (2009) run on this track?

My initial reaction that this was a "fluke" semi-final and they won't be able to repeat it on the same night, but maybe I am wrong. I hope I am because it would be a bit anticlimactic if the fastest time won't be in the final.

Everyone is chocking.

Yeah, I got scared for a moment, this could have gone worse.

Oh shit, oh no, that's terrible.

That -0.1... maybe it will still be enough.

One more gold medal chance potentially wasted for Andrade.

The higher execution tie-break makes sense to me, but the difficulty being more important than the penalty... not so much.

This was a really disappointing final, not worthy for the Olympic Games.

Damn, that was incredibly close.

So many errors, might have a chance for the gold if the rest of the competition continues like this.
