Wow, I never expected Dumoulin to come back with an Olympic silver medal! This one feels like gold! What an incredibly performace by teammates Roglic and Dumoulin.

I fear that when it comes to the knockout games the experience in your squad will shine through. Good luck next friday! Going to be a big game for both of us.

Definitely! I think it's 6 rowing finals tonight and there's a Dutch boat in all of them. Van der Breggen and Van Vleuten are both medal contenders in the time trial. And I believe tomorrow is our biggest chance at a Judo medal as well with Noel van 't End on the men's side and Sanne van Dijke on the women's side. We cannot end tomorrow without an additional medal!

I just watched the replay of our game vs China and the level of play really looks embarrassing. It's great that we've scored 21 goals in 3 matches, but it feels like I've seen 0 seconds of succesful defensive play. I'm not hopeful about our match vs USA at all.

Super messy Olympics for the Dutch so far, even if many of our medal chances are yet to come. A continuous stream of incidents in cycling: the women's road race, Van der Poels plank (or the lack thereof) and incidents with race staff for Kimmann and Van der Breggen. Too many covid cases, extra measures for our rowing team with all its medal candidates. And lastly we've had a bunch of really close 4th places, which always feels painful.

No new medals for the Dutch today, but we got some nice additions to the 4th and 5th place collection in triathlon, judo, mountainbike and dresdage!

I can't handle all these disappointments

That 59 in 6 arrows in the last round was unbeatable! Not looking good for the Dutch for bronze I fear.

Painful to see VDP exit while Pidcock rides away solo

I'm not having a good time at all

What a disaster that fall! Also Vader always starts super fast and then drops to the 8th - 15th range in the 2nd or 3rd lap...

My girlfriend has to work tomorrow, so getting up at 4AM for the men's 100m breast is not an option. So I'm looking at: 07:00 Swimming men's 100m breast final (Kamminga) (replay) 07:05 Tennis women's double (Bertens/Schuurs) 08:00 Mountainbike (Mathieu van der Poel) 09:15 Archery men's team (hopefully in finals!) 11:20 Waterpolo (AUS vs NED) 13:00 rest of my day, groceries, cleaning, etc. And if Oldenbeuving or Zwetsloot medal in skateboarding, I have to add that replay of course!

I love it because it's the Olympics, but the broadcasting on NOS is definitely worse than I'm used to. You can see they're struggling without multistreams because of the Discovery Plus deal. I hate that I have to pay 6 euros to watch (all of) the Olympics. I hate it even more that I'm not even getting good coverage for that money. Mostly without commentators or with terrible commentary. And I've literally had advertisement in the middle of a football game. And then there's the coronavirus, which ruins the atmosphere, the broadcasting and even the sports themselves when contenders get infected. I still enjoy it, but it's all a bit of struggle this time...

Can't we send our women's B team to the men's tournament instead?

That does really explain the passive racing. I wonder if the initial happiness of getting a medal will turn into frustration at the race organisers in later interviews.

Every time I see the peloton the legs are still, people are looking around. Are they really not capable of chasing these three...

I have no idea what the Dutch are doing strategically. They're not dominating in the way their stature demands of them. They're barely taking initiative. Going to be one of the biggest disappointments of the Games if we don't medal here.

Terrible start for Bouwmeester in Laser Radial. Badloe recovered from a bad first race in RS:X and is currently 3rd.

Super proud of our 4x100m still getting 4th. Since at least Sydney 2000 the Dutch 4x100m women have been top 4 of the world. I hope Kromowidjojo and Heemskerk will get their successors soon to keep the tradition alive.

Impressive race by Carapaz! Was quietly hoping Pogacar would be beatable in a sprint, but that man can really do anything...

Koreans did not look as unbeatable as I thought. Anyway still super happy with silver!

I take it back! Go shoot this final! Go Dutch Go Dutch

No need to shoot the final, I'm already pleased! Good start to the Games

Turkish girl really helping us into the final, poor girl. Looks like a pretty windy game, lots of below average shots compared to the previous round?

Schloesser really saved us there! Those 3 10s in a row might as well been 11s! I always forget how exciting this sport can be to watch
