No medal in tennis for Brazil has got to be the biggest disappointment of the Olympics for us so far. The Olympics have been pretty rough for Brazil until now. I was not expecting stellar results, but this is way below my most modest expectations

Nice! There was an article published a couple of days before the 2015 Worlds by a journalist too afraid too cheer for Schooling because he was afraid he could jinx the guy, and he could hardly believe Schooling could get a medal at the World Championships at all (though he wanted it so, so bad). I can imagine how this journalist feels now. He must be thrilled!

Schooling was a surprising bronze medalist at last year's world championships and now he is the Olympic champion. Crazy.

I'm sad for Belarus, but they are the favorites for a medal tomorrow with Hancharou. I don't think he will earn gold, but bronze is quite achievable.

I got crazy when typing. LOL. I even mention Rosie is the champion again! Hahaha. Crazy final. So rewarding to watch! Loved every minute of it.

Great Britain got their first ever Olympic medal in Trampoline Gymnastics! Rosie is the Olympic champion again! Great final! Great, great final! Belarus didn't get a medal this time, though... Still, great final!

Rosie is assured to get a medal! Congratulations, Canada!!!

I'm here to show my support for Rosie MacLennan! She qualified in third for the women's trampoline final. Go, Rosie!

Piatrenia is in first place momentarily! This could be Belarus' first gold medal in Gymnastics if she repeats this performance once again in a few minutes! What a shock!

Yay! Golovina also qualified! Great result for her and it's nice to have on the finals!

MacLennan qualified ahead of He Wenna and a few tenths behind Li Dan. Finals will be a nail biting event!

She is one of my favorite gymnasts. Period. She's amazing and she deserves all the accomplishments she has achieved so far.

She will finish less than 0.4 away from a medal. What a shame. She deserved a medal a lot more than Mustafina.

I've lost all hope with the Brazilian gymnasts. At this point they are just embarassing themselves. Unbelievable. I hope nothing serious happened to Jade.

Nice!!! Go, Fiji!

Had Verniayev scored one tenth more, he would have been the Olympic champion. One tenth. So sad.

I can't believe it! Uchimura won again!!!

I can't say I'm happy with that. I think his way of performing is so boring. I wish Beliyavskiy could snatch the bronze medal, but it will be impossible, unfortunately.

Calvo is my sentimental favorite, but he would need 9 people to count a fall in their routines if he wants to get a medal. Too bad.

A tiny bit overscored, but he is definitely tidy in execution.

Yes! Uchimura will finally be beaten! Fingers crossed! Go, Verniayev!

A não ser a vitória do basquete masculino, hoje foi um dia horrível para o Brasil nos Jogos Olímpicos. A ginástica artística feminina terminou a final em último lugar, a natação vai muito mal, a chuva que se esperava de medalhas no judô não se concretizou, o tiro com arco foi um fracasso, o tênis de mesa não passou de sonho, mais uma derrota no vôlei de praia masculino e agora a dupla de tênis que era favorita ao ouro perdeu o primeiro set. Hoje foi mesmo o dia do 7 x 1. Sete decepções para um raro momento de alegria.

What a bad day for Brazil. The girls are not ready to compete under pressure. I've lost all hope for a medal in the All-Around or on the Beam finals. Not gonna happen.

I'm more inclined to believe China and Russia will settle for silver and bronze. Russia had many serious mistakes in Qualifications and they still managed to finish third. Brazil had a fantastic day in Qualifications and still finished behind US, China, Russia and Great Britain. I can't see a medal for Brazil even in my most optimistic dreams, unless everything goes wrong for Russia and Great Britain.

Don't be so quick. The Slovenian girl will probably beat Mariana, but getting bronze should not be impossible.
