Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I was a little confused when looking at the schedule as to why Judo finished before the opening ceremonies began. 

Unfortunately they haven’t made all the replays available. That’s the international feed by the way. In Pan American territories some of us can choose between a bunch of sports.

I understand your point, but there are two things here that must be made clear:

1) The point is not "people don't like to see a Chinese swimmer winning medals". This is not about his nationality. When people complain about Sun Yang, the problem is not his origin. I understand that there is heavy bias towards Asia (yes, I read Orientalism by Edward Said  during my PhD classes) but I honestly don't think most people here are biased towards Asia. Instead, most of us can't stand Sun Yang for his actions.

2) The fact that in other sports there are athletes who act like this is really sad. It should not be the norm, and I feel bad for people who admire such bad examples not only sport, but in life.

Some athletes r not good at dealing pressure outside the competitions..at this point i agree with u..but still a swimmer who wrote and keeps writing history, he answers with his medals..it's difficult for some people to see a chinese guy winning since 2011..and let's be honest many athletes do what Sun did at the ceremony (i mean sayin to Scott that he win ..) Boxers do this all the time and people love them ! Footballers too.. there's a contradiction in the standards

I don't like to question the achievements of others ..for me the accused is innocent until proven guilty ..even Sun i still love this guy

1st african gold medal 

Congrats Farida , she just stole that bronze , i was really surprised that she finished on the podium with this very poor start , not the tournament i wished for her , but she still achieved the same result of 2017 , she was also sick after Semis yesterday and she had to quit 50m free qualifications in the morning
