Hughes Fabrice Zango, world indoor record holder and heavy favourite for the Gold barely qualifies to the final in 12th place
 
 

Yeah, but not in her, uhm, artificially aided previous shape  

It's with CH as in Champion... 

2016 Olympic Javelin Champion Sara Colak (CRO) is on the verge of elimination, no mark after 2 throws, one left
 
 

Lewandowski on Polish ES: "They advanced me because they think I'm a medal contender"

To be honest, this kind of running was dangerous, I thought it was his mistake. He is good shape, he is great athlete, good for him if he was not guilty

Filip Ingebrigtsen OUT
 

Wow, the Italians starting strong in the men's triple 

Please tell me which were the joke events? The Greek National Championships are a joke event? And the jumps meeting in Kallithea which attracts many international big name competitors?
 
You act like Greece is Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. If our measurements are "more than doubtful" then we must be really bad at faking results to not fix it so Spyridoula Karydi and Elina Tzengko would've qualified as well.
 
And if you don't like his style then that's your problem. He is from parkour and switched to long jump after his talent was discovered so maybe his technique isn't so natural but it works.
 
 
Also he doesn't normally show emotions or have big reactions so that is why a lot of people thought that his 8.48 and 8.60 earlier this year were not legit. Not everyone is the same and is going to be jumping up and down like crazy celebrating a big result. Even last night you could see in his final he wasn't showing much emotion even after he won gold, because he is shy. Nothing wrong with that. He was even saying in interviews how upset he was to only get 8.41 and how his jumps were so bad in the final. He knows he can do much better.

filed a protest and are accepted into the 4x400 mixed relay final. So 9 teams in total. and their 415/385 combo are safe (duh).

And that's Van Klinken showing what nonsense the small hype was after her 70+ in a place impossibly to compare with this  

This could be the boost the us team needs
 
Reminds me somehow the Misty Hyman moment in Sydney

If this is the end of Cseh's career, it's a nice way to say goodbye, that was a really brave first 100m. 

Indonesian netizens in the chat: Kamminga carries the look aspect in that podium

Olympic silver medalists from Rio in Men's and Women's Individual, Semifinalist in Rio finishing 4th Sjef Van Der Berg, and the 2nd seed in women Jang Minhee all out! 
 
Sjef Van Der Berg bids adieu to the sport. 

And time for the battle of the titans. 

Dear lord what a time for Zhang  
 
Fastest ever time without one of them magic super suits, that record had stood since London 2012  

Dutch NOS generally likes to go with analysing every Dutch race so long that they're back just in time for the next non-Dutch final (if they even show that)  
 
Because the regular viewer here apparently wants the STORY instead of live sports.
 
 

2018 :P
 
(2012 for summer)

And after Finke’s win, a possibility for Fink in the 200m breaststroke.

Attaboy Finke!!  Saved it all for the end, that was incredible

I have a bad feeling that Paltrinieri won't be able to keep this up until the end. 

Apparently, Katinka Hosszu is receiving a lot of abuse in social media for her performance in the Olympics. 
Both the guest commentator in TV (a former swimmer) and her team mates defended her in today's live broadcast.
Even V. Orban wrote the following comment to her FB post: "Once a champion, always a champion. Whoever had the national anthem played in their honor in the Olympics, forever remains a hero for us" (approximate translation)
This is one of the very rare instances when I agree with him completely! 

I really like this ESPlayer. Being able to watch any event I want is the most important. Then the lack of commentators is not really a problem for me. Most of them are talking stupid things all the time anyway . Watching live sport with ambient sound is the best way to do it for me. 

I am glad to see Mexico wins a medal.
Well done!
