Very cool watching the women's eight medal ceremony - world feed announcer naming the hometown of most of the athletes as they get their medal. 

Avalon Wasteneys becomes the first gold medalist produced by the RBC training ground program
 
And lol:
 

WOW! What a race, that was awesome. I figured the Kiwis would surely catch them after they came out to such a hot start, but that strategy worked. Now onto Penny to try and make it 2.
 
In other news, Mason and Lovett are both out to hot starts in the high jump..

Thankfully today/tomorrow morning looks like we can sleep in. I really need it

Let's goooo CBP! I thought that initial takedown may have been an ippon

AVF is out after a pretty underwhelming fight against .

The last thing I saw before going to bed was Margelidon's bronze medal match - not the best thing to go out on. It's extremely hard to go for Bronze against a challenger that came through the repechage even if you are ultimately the more skilled Judoka, kudos to her for putting those emotions behind her. 
 
I have a good feeling about today - although I'm a bit cautious about diving since Caeli McKay has had an ankle injury recently. 

Yeah, I can't do many more of those.  Canada's favourite position.  

don't sleep on Mislawchuk's chances here

Possible chance. The Taiwan athlete look really good vs Korea. Park has never defeated the Korean. If she wins here, the American might be there, whom she has lost (and by a margin) each and every time. If she can get to the semifinals, all it takes is one more win to guarantee a medal (through winning the semi or the bronze medal match)

Looking forward to two very likely medals today (fingers crossed), and a huge showdown between Japan and Canada for a shot at the gold in softball. Also excited to see the debut of skateboarding (potential outside shot at a medal?) and surfing. 
 
As an aside, watching the CBC's daytime show right now and find Perdita Felicien to be very obnoxious. Talking about herself at every opportunity she gets. 

It’s on the high side for predictions but not impossible. I would be shocked if we got the mixed medley medal that’s predicted. I would also be surprised if Canada won 7 medals and Pickrem didn’t win any. 

SB had a disaster QR, down by 22 points from her PB, Crispin actually had 5 points less than in Rio, but finished higher. Either would have gotten them a performance needed to qualify.

Not to mention that Softball is best on best while Baseball is a B-tier tournament.

Agreed, short, mostly competitive games condense into just 6 days.
 
I expect the baseball tournament to be lackluster by comparison (especially as it's up against everything else)

I have to say softball works very well at the Olympics! Imagine if there was a crowd here cheering them on, the atmosphere would be great! Pity there's only 6 teams and not 8 at least.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BASERUNNING?

seven innings

Max 7 plus extra inning. 

7

No offense but this is probable the worst sport I've ever watched

And we're underway!

Maybe you are right, but I prefer Word.
