    I was close to my prediction. Knew it right when Biles said she was going to do the beam.
  2. orangeman
    Another 4th! Called it yesterday, Biles just ahead of Black.
  3. orangeman
    Very good job especially considering her injury. But I don't think enough for the podium.
  4. orangeman
    Another 4th! Haha, good effort by the girls. A medal was going to be tough.
  5. orangeman
    Good effort, Canada. Oh well.
  6. orangeman
    This isn't supposed to be a fast track yet everyone is easily going under the previous WR.
  7. orangeman
    Ultimately, Canada was never going to be top 2, so maybe saving themselves for today will work out. They get a medal race!
  8. orangeman
    Yup, didn't want to say it to jinx it, but it'll guarantee a silver or gold. But we'll wait and see.

    Also two very important beach volleyball games. And de Grasse starts his journey for 200m gold.

    It's quite confusing and Byzantinian. Why not do it like the speed skating pursuit in the WOG, 1vs8, etc. until you get a winner? Edit: Looking back at the results now, I remember Canada facing Aus and then NZ for the bronze in 2016. It makes sense now.

    Simone Biles opts to do the Balance Beam. Prediction: Biles gets bronze with Black just behind by 0.01 points for 4th. PROVE ME WRONG!

    Ah yes, I have found those rules as well. I was going off the commentary today when I was watching. The announcer said the top four compete for medals while the other compete for placings. When Aus fell to 5th she said they won't be able to get a medal. So I was going on that. Thanks for the clarification.

    In good news, Anicka Newell easily qualified for the final in pole vault. She could challenge for a medal if she performs at her best.
  14. orangeman
    I don't believe that's possible on the women's side. Only top-4 race for medals. Ironically, the men still have a chance for bronze if I'm not mistaken.

    Sure, but Canada is ranked #4 in the world. Given that, they were battling with France (#5) and Australia (#2) for a quaterfinal spot. And the mens team has the most NBA players outside the US and couldn't even get there. But whatever, it is what it is. I just found it funny that it took a 23-9 Q3 for Australia to do it. I watched the second half of that game and have no idea how PR was ever even in it. Like rugby, it has to come down to the wire to break Canada's heart for no real reason.

    As sad as the women's result is, at least they didnt have the only roster full of NBA players and still fail to qualify. I keep hearing its the Golden Age of Canadian basketball, but I havent seen either team produce anything.
  17. orangeman
    Lol, Aus wins by 26. Another Canadian medal threat out before the finals.
  18. orangeman
    My God PR sucks. How was this game ever close?
  19. orangeman
    Oz now up by 16 and dominating....
  20. orangeman
    Update on Canada's basketball chances: France lost to USA by less than needed, have +3 point diff on Canada. Now we need Australia to beat PR by less than 24. Right now in Q3 they are up by 7. PR was actually up at a point, so that'd be great too.
  21. orangeman
    Congrats to Sweden, although I wanted you to lose because you look really good.
  22. orangeman
    I actually do, but I haven't watched in years since it's been decided in advance. There is no movement on any podium. It really doesn't matter. I'll tune back in when performance on the day starts to matter.
  23. orangeman
    It literally doesn't matter. The placings were decided months, years, ago. Just like every other Olympics in the last 20 years. Like I said, this shouldn't be an Olympic event unless they start judging it based on the performance on the day.
  24. orangeman
    And after the first round it's....SUSPENSE! Russia, China, Ukraine with Japan in 4th.
  25. orangeman
    6th for Hughes! Good!
