    Brazil was not as big in volleyball back then. Volleyball only became a huge hit in Brazil after the Barcelona Olympics.

    OMG, we're on the way to earn the third gold medal today! I can't believe it!

    It's interesting to note that among the top 20 nations: 2 are from Oceania. 3 are from Asia. 5 are from the Americas. 10 are from Europe. A disappointing edition overall for African nations. Only 9 gold medals so far for the continent and 31 medals combined. I wonder when African nations were unable to obtain a total of 10 gold medals for the last time...

    Hats off, you called it. I confess that deep down I thought it would be a walk in the park for Brazil, even though the match against Argentina in the preliminary round was very intense. Anyway, congratulations to Argentina for absolutely earning this bronze medal.

    One of the most shameful moments in the history of Brazilian sports. Probably the biggest humiliation our volleyball team has ever suffered. It's one thing to lose to a big powerhouse with lots of funding. It's a completely different thing to lose to Argentina, with all due respect. I hope most of the people involved in this mess are never allowed to go back to the National team.

    I've always wanted to see Russia losing the gold medal, but to Kaleyn or Harnasko. Definitely not Ashram. This only shows how this Code of Points is the worst in the history of this sport. Valuing difficulty over artistry is a huge mistake. Well, at least it backfired to Russia itself. I'm not happy, but it's an interesting historical moment.

    Queiroz and his coach in an interview dedicated this medal to late coach Jesús Morlan. It reads: "Suso Morlan, this gold medal is yours!"

    using the same music used in their 5 ribbons routine in 2015. Ugh.

    I cried so much after her medals that it might as well be considered a gold medal from water.

    Yay, Isaquias!!! He deserved to be an Olympic champion!!! And medal for !!!
  11. thiago_simoes
    ahead of . What a crazy crazy crazy crazy CRAZY edition of the Olympic Games!!!! And a well deserved result!
  12. thiago_simoes
    I think so. Very touching routine.
  13. thiago_simoes
    with a hit routine, but boring, lacking originality, going for the same kind of throws every time... Very poor choice of criteria -- criteria is a technical term about how the apparatus is thrown and then caught. I don't quite like it.
  14. thiago_simoes
    almost 2 points ahead of Russia!!! YEEESSS!!
  15. thiago_simoes
    absolutely FANTASTIC!!! This has to be first place!
  16. thiago_simoes
    Basically it's the biggest mistake they could have had. Still, a considerably big score: over 40. I don't like their routine, though. Very little choreography, just like Belarus.
  17. thiago_simoes
    It changes every 2 years, but it's been decided beforehand.
  18. thiago_simoes
    Oh, has a costume change in the middle of the routine, drag queen style. LOL. I kind of like it!
  19. thiago_simoes
    hit. Here comes the unrealistic score... I won't even be surprised with the robbery. Edit: Oh, only 44? Behind Italy for now. Is there any semblance of justice this time? Color me surprised!

    Disaster for . One of the most unexpected and shocking moments of the Olympics in gymnastics until now. They were fighting for a medal and now they might not even qualify...
  21. thiago_simoes
    Unbelievable. had a mistake very similar to the one that happened at the Pan American Championships. Too bad. It's a disaster that the only time we had two clean routines from Brazil at the Olympics was way back in 2000.
  22. thiago_simoes
    Yay, Lithuania!
  23. thiago_simoes
    With France hosting the event, it's going to be highly unlikely, but I'd never say never. I just don't see raw talent in swimming, athletics and gymnastics for that, and certainly they won't have the host nation advantage to boost their scores in skateboarding. Also, repeating the same level of success in Judo, especially against France at home, is going to be very, very tough.

    from 65 in 2012 to 67 in 2016. went from 19 in 2016 to 16 currently + 4 finals (2 in boxing, 1 in men's football, 1 in women's volleyball) + 2 clear chances (1 bronze medal match in men's volleyball, 1 chance in C1 1000 canoeing) + 1 outside chance in equestrian.

    Interesting fact for us Brazilians: Brazil is only the second nation in the history of the Olympic Games to improve the total number of medals earned after hosting the Olympics. We have 20 medals guaranteed now. And we can even increase the number of gold medals compared to Rio, with up to 9 now, what I believe will not happen, but there's still a chance.
