Randomly tuning in just to see commentators getting crazy over Bolivia winning a medal in women's 4x100m relay. A medal for Bolivia in this event, how? Did everyone else got disqualified?

I've got our lucky mascot right here
 
 

Same here. My sister and I were so inspired that we used to build our own courses around the house using CD/DVD boxes and VHS tapes as dominos. That was sooo loud.

Anamari Kozul 69,16 m, norma za EP. Mihaljevic 21,33 m, drugi hrv. rezultat svih vremena.

Interestingly he said that he might go for more than one sport. Let's go crazy and take a look in which all sports he could possibly compete if he aims to take part in as many as possible.
 
Universality sports
Athletics - almost any individual event if selected by Tongan NOC
Swimming - any individual event if selected by Tongan NOC
 
Easily achievable continental qualification
Judo - Just participating at couple of qualification events should be enough for an Oceanian continental place.
Sailing - Just participating at a qualification regatta likely enough for Finn, RS:X, 470, 49er and Nacra. Might face a couple of nations in Laser.
Taekwondo - Already qualified there for Rio. Should be easy enough if Australia doesn't choose that weight.
 
Possible continental qualification
Archery - Could become possible if Australia gets a quota before the continental qualification, however island nations are not that bad here (including Tonga).
Badminton - If Australia again decides to decline men's singles quota, then he could get a continental place. Quite possible, Tonga itself almost qualified for Rio but it turned out that their player didn't have enough international tournaments to be eligible.
Canoeing - Both slalom and sprint are possible, though Oceania does have decent athletes outside of AUS/NZL... I guess C1 (200m or 1000m) in sprint might be the best chance.
Artistic gymnastics - Should be able to qualify through continental qualification event, provided that both AUS/NZL qualify before.
Open water swimming - Could qualify if both AUS/NZL qualify directly and/or decline.
 
Tripartite commission invitation
Boxing, Trampoline, Modern pentathlon, Rowing, Table tennis, Weightlifting, Wrestling (+ Archery, Badminton, Canoeing, Artistic gymnastics, Judo, Sailing, Taekwondo)
 
So it's possible for him to compete in 16 sports. However, he may struggle to reach minimum eligibility in a couple of them (I already excluded shooting for example because reaching MQS there is probably impossible). Also, I don't think Tripartite Commission would be that lenient for this cause.
 
Anyone wants to suggest this to him and make a complete mockery of the Olympics? @heywoodu perhaps?

Not much has changed with Jonty's condition since the first report...

Kuhnle actually managed to take a medal after winning semifinal. That's so weird!
 
No medal for Slovakia again.

You are third at the moment  bestmen was right after all  

Do you realize that SVK has 0 medals after todays events ? How I have to understand your comment, sarcastic or provocative ? but yeah, total flop today from our athletes, I really don´t know what was the reasons, surely they are still tired after the hard national trials and usually we are peaking for the main event of the season as the OG or this year the world champs in Rio in September..but to not be even on the medal board after 6 of the 10 events at the continental championship is really not a great sign and ad for our best sport Hopefully the guys in C1 will deliver tomorrow and rectify our reputation..
 
btw today was the very last day of the existence of the Men´s C2, a Big big sad day of sport ! The french crew Gauthier Klauss/Matthieu Peche have decided to ceremonially tear their boat 
 

Not sure if you know, but apparently SPTV (Sportska Televizija) will cover tomorrow's semi-finals and finals. Nothing today, sadly.
 
EDIT: Sorry, but nothing on their web page now, and they had it until yesterday, plus had it announced on TV. Wow, could it be that they wanted to have Youtube stream on their programme? SPTV is terrible, and could've been so good.
EDIT2: Looks like they have some problems with satellite transmission. Can't get to Croatia? Sorry again, wanted to watch it myself as well.

They are actually real mascots.
 
 

Marathon course for Tokyo 2020.
 

 
Finally we'll have an Olympic marathon starting and finishing in the Olympic stadium like it's supposed to!!!
 
Also, looks like there aren't any loops. Just a straight 42 km course, awesome.
