What I find most odd is that apparently there's two people fighting each other on Wikipedia editing (seriously, come on), but then they take this fight here and post on Totallympics only to post about their fight on Wikipedia  
 
This whole thread is honestly the weirdest and oddest thing (weirder than the death wishes/threats) I have seen in I guess around 10 years of Totallympics  

Semi-Finalist men’s and women’s  !! Historic performance 

Luxembourg won this 76-72 after overtime

I think you are referring to the women’s 200 meters butterfly where 16 swimmers swam in the heats and all of them qualified for the semifinals 

This is real nonsense. I could make an argument for ROC being first, fourth or disqualified. Makes no sense at all for them to be third.

The USOPC has released a statement from their CEO saying that the United States will be awarded the gold medal in the team event by the IOC.
 
 

just need a few more seconds to secure a medal but ended with none...

NOOOOOO! Groseclose  goes down in the final turn, throwing away a historic medal 
 
 Bradbury's their way into a medal at last 

The main round opens with winning over 37-32. Norway continues to struggle, quite unlikely for them to reach the semifinals now. Even getting to the 5th place match is going to be tough.

Spain is out and Austria qualifies match ended 33-33

Well, this ought to be interesting...
 

Uh...
 
I know, it´s not my business, so I definitely do not intend to interfere obviously, however a part of me would really like to know what exactly happened in Eritrea

Now official:

Gold medal won by Martina Weil, the daughter of Chilean shot putter Gert Weil and Colombian runner Ximena Restrepo.

Canada has become the villain of the Games, taking out the home country and small underdogs all over the place. SORRY!

Our quest to finish better than fourth was a noble cause, something all would be underdogs would look up to. Alas instead of dying as a hero we have lived long enough to see us become the villain.

Slowest winning time in men’s 5000m since Mexico City 1955  

I’m old enough to remember when we had to cut athletics quotas this summer. It seems they could have easily cut another 50 at least. I mean, really, entry lists with 7 and 8 athletes in standard events 

Gold medal for Lee Kiefer  in the women’s individual foil fencing. Her fourth straight gold medal in the event.

Tomorrow apparently there will be only 10 medal events. Yeah, this schedule is terrible lol
