Makedonas

Tsitsipas brothers lost in doubles today to , 11-9 in the match tiebreak! From what I watched Stefanos was very good but Petros made some mistakes and messed up a service game and some of his points on serve in the tiebreak. I thought it was a winnable match for them but oh well! At least now Stefanos can focus on singles and mixed where he will have a better chance to win a medal, let's see. Also I find it odd that our women's doubles team isn't playing their first round until Tuesday when it was supposed to be Saturday or Sunday according to the original schedule! It only rained for one day so it's a bit odd to me.

They had a very tough draw! Unlucky!

(56) Gionis 4 - 0 (11-6, 11-8, 11-8, 11-4) (22) Ly

Comfortable 14-7 win for us over Romania to start I only saw the fourth period as there were so many Greek events going on at once so it's hard for me to really speak about our level.

Προκρίθηκε ο Χρήστου στον τελικό! Επίσης ο Γκιώνης πέτυχε μια σπουδαία νίκη στο πινγκ πονγκ

Solid day for us, W2- and LW2X both comfortably through to the semifinals. LM2X 3rd and will have to go to the repechage.

Christou (3rd overall) and Makrygiannis (8th overall) both through to the semifinals

Papastamos totally ran out of energy at the end Oh well, at least he is finally back, hopefully the next Olympic cycle will be kind to him so he can finally live up to his potential

I was also confident we could make an upset before the game began, but at one point we were trailing 0-7 then we finally woke up but it was too late. I expected at least a close game because our girls were really good this year, bronze at the European Championships and 4th at the World Championships where we probably should've won a medal. Maybe our girls were overwhelmed because it was their first Olympics for 12 of our 13 players? We seemed scared at times. USA also got 3 penalty shots (Stamatopoulou saved 1 of them) which didn't help either.

You must have not watched the first half when literally anything Greece did was called a foul

Αύριο θα έχουμε ίσως μια ευκαιρία για μετάλλιο με τον Παπασταμο αλλά είναι ουτσάϊντερ. Θα δούμε επίσης πολύ τένις και κωπηλασία και θα κάνει πρεμιέρα η εθνική πόλο ανδρών. Ας μην ξεχνάμε και τον Χριστου αλλά και τον Μακρυγιάννη στη κολύμβηση στα προκριματικά (και ημιτελικά αν περάσουν).

Ισχύει. Και στο πόλο χάλια ήμασταν σήμερα. Και ο Πετρούνιας μέτριος, μακάρι να περάσει στον τελικό. Για να δούμε τι θα κάνει ο Τσιτσιπάς. Δεν περιμένω τίποτα από την εθνική μπάσκετ αλλά μακάρι να με εκπλήξουν.

Embarrassing. I have no words really. The referees also didn't help and we had some bad luck to hit the post/crossbar so many times but still no excuses when you lose by 9 goals. Only good thing was we started to play better in the second half so hopefully we can carry that momentum into the next games...

Δεν είναι η μέρα μας...

Maybe, but even before that she was very poor, she finished in last, even below the universality quota participants... Meanwhile she won medals at the last two World Championships in this event...

They are all very good friends with each other too! Well I know Anna is close friends with Zorana and Antoaneta, so I'm assuming those two are with each other as well

I have no idea what happened, all I know is that this was her 5th Olympic event of her career and she never failed to make a final, worst result ever being 6th place. I was looking forward to hopefully having her win our first medal tomorrow. I have no words really

He was sick at World Cup II, though I agree with your ranking that he should be 4th.

Ntouskos and Mackintosh being in the same heat is kind of crazy

I don't have time to read everyone's comments here but one day (obviously after the Games because I won't have much time the next two weeks ) I will come back and look at them because I'm very interested in them. I have mixed feelings about the ceremony. I liked some segments but some dragged too long. The boat parade sounded like a cool idea (and at first I was thinking how did Greece not think to do that in 2004 ), but in the end I didn't like it. It was kind of all over the place and I prefer the old format. The cameras also barely showed the flag bearers and it seemed very rushed, the angles were too far away too. I always love watching the parade of athletes so I can see all the athletes I know from different countries and this year it was very hard to do

Sorry but this is getting ridiculous now ...anyways, how far out is Despina Papamichail from making it into women's singles now?
