Wow, you are really greedy, you already won a gold medal in race walking, that must be enough for such a small country ... !

So a 22 year old athlete who is two time world champion in the same discipline winning the gold is as surprising as a 29 year old, who didnt even make the final at the world championships last year, winning bronze ... ? Tom Liebscher is much younger than Anoshkin and won the gold medal in mens k1 500 m this year, ahead of Anoshkin, but even if Liebscher wouldve won the bronze here, it wouldve been a huge shock, although he is much younger than Anoshkin. Why didnt Anoshkin win anything before 2015? Why did he suddenly become so good at such a high age? Anoshkin was caught and will be stripped off his medal, the bronze will go to Murray from Australia, there is nothing to argue about. I didnt make any mistake and even if i wouldve made a mistake, then there wouldve been no reason for me to apologize to you.

I think you shouldnt overestimate the heat results. Germany started very fast and the other teams slowed down very quick to save energy. If this wouldve been the final, then they might have catched up to the german team. Before the start of the competition my prediction was Germany ahead of Slovakia and Australia, i think this is still possible.

So a good result is almost impossible. Guerdat already won a gold and has been caught doping, Lamaze also already won a gold and GB just doesnt deserve a gold here, considering how bad their team was. I hope that the guys from Qatar, Sweden and the US will win the medals, but that seems very unlikely. At least Skelton/Lamaze shouldnt win the gold here.

Maybe they just bluffed in the heat? Seriously, why were you sure that your K4 would win the gold? Germany is much better on paper.

Yeah, now it doesnt matter, another russian cheater was caught and lost his medal, i am happy. I would say a 29 year old guy, who never won an individual medal in an olympic discipline before, winning an individual olympic medal is more surprising than a 22 year old, who is a two time world champion in this discipline, winning an olympic gold medal ... but you are obviously too biased to see the facts.

His feet have been parallel for the last couple of km, thats not legal and he should have been disqualified or at least got a warning (i dont know how many warning he had at that time). Correct result would have been Toth ahead of Arai and Dunfee or Toth ahead of Tallent and Arai. The japanese guy got robbed, lets see how "lucky" Canada will be at 2020 olympics.

I am very sad for the japanese guy, what a scandal to disqualify him! Hopefully one of the top 3 will get caught, so that he will get the medal back that was stolen from him today.

Yeah i said that Moldova lost the medal and that it goes to Russia, but lets wait to reallocate the medal ... Ok, apparently you are right about Anoshkin, but he still came out of nowhere and obviously it was right to be suspicious about him. A 19 year old coming out of nowhere might be believable, but not if a 29 year old comes out of nowhere.

What a disgusting performance by the french guy, you cant show that on TV! Dunfee! He motivated Diniz to walk on! I was sure that Diniz would win gold, but what the hell was he thinking? I really dont get it ... its like Mo Farah trying to run a world record from the front in an olympic final, completely brainless ...

I know that Gatlin didnt make the final ... but why? It was a very low level final, the brits (Gemili and Hughes), Jobodawana and Dwyer all got worse since last year, Francis was injured and Van Niekerk didnt want to win a second medal (where the hell was South Africa in the 4 x 100 m relay?).

You mean the guy from Ukraine, who now competes for Moldova? Yeah ... totally unexpected ... i already mentioned it in the "doping cases and bans" thread yesterday. So his bronze medal will go to Shtokalov from Russia ... I cant say that i am surprised about Anoshkin, he is just 19 years old and came out of nowhere (just like Valz), but i thought it would take longer to catch him.

What a low level final, where were Gatlin, Merritt, Jobodawana or the guy from Antigua? I think Van Niekerk easily could have won a silver medal here. What is going on with french athletics? Before the start of the competition, 3 medals (mens pole vault, mens 50 km race walking, mens 110 m hurdles) would have been an amazing result for them, now they won medals in womens discus throw, mens 200 m and mens decathlon out of nowhere.

If you can keep your ridiculous conversion rate of penalty corners, then you will probably win all olympic golds in the next 100 years, against Germany and Belgium this was the main reason why you won.

Haha, the croatian no-name destroys her PB and wins the gold, there we have Perkovic 2.0, i hope that she will be caught soon.

Yeah, sadly Markus Weise (who won 3 olympic golds in a row, 2004 with our womens team and 2008/2012 with our mens team) started to work for our football federation at the end of last year, you could see that it was a huge blow for our mens team, but at least they still won the bronze medal. Now our mens team has a new coach who is only 35 years old and you could see that the olympics were completely new for him ... Our team is still pretty young (more than half of the players are 25 or younger and 5 of them were born in 1994 or later), so i am optimistic for 2020. I think the future on the mens side should belong to Belgium and Germany.

What a surprising final on the mens side and what a disaster for Belgium!

Congrats to the oldest team of the tournament, what a miracle! It was a once in a lifetime chance for them and they used it.

Oh nooo ... the better looking team lost! USA was very unlucky to lose one of their best players due to injury during the first set.

What about Tarnovschi (canoeing sprint)? All those cheaters from eastern europe are making me really angry, AT LEAST TRY TO NOT GET CAUGHT!

Is Bourrada the cheater? I hope he wont win a medal.

So if the american girls will leave their lane in the rerun, then they also will be disqualified? Its also great that the american girls exactly know that they dont have to risk anything, because 42.70 will be enough to make the final ...

Does Brethauer have a chance to make the semifinal? This would already be a great result for him and if he would make the final, then i would probably cry ...

Yes, i forgot about Marin, she should win the gold. Muguruza/Nadal also might have been the favorites, after Federer/Hingis had to whitdraw.

Congrats to GB, they have a great diversity, despite what many people say. They are inexistant in most team sports, but they know which sports should be funded if they want to win as many medals as possible. Germany should do the same, dropping sports like water polo, badminton, modern pentathlon, triathlon, rhythmic gymnastics, synchronised swimming, weightlifting or trampoline.
