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 !!!

ahead of . What a crazy crazy crazy crazy CRAZY edition of the Olympic Games!!!! And a well deserved result!

I think so. Very touching routine.

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.

almost 2 points ahead of Russia!!! YEEESSS!!

absolutely FANTASTIC!!! This has to be first place!

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.

It changes every 2 years, but it's been decided beforehand.

Oh, has a costume change in the middle of the routine, drag queen style. LOL. I kind of like it!

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...

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.

Yay, Lithuania!

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.

Ué, Atenas não foram 10 medalhas no total? Na minha memória, pelo menos, achei que tinham sido 10.

Rut Castillo had the best performance of a Latin-American gymnast in the history of the Olympic Games. Her 22nd place finish is better than Brazil's Natália Gaudio's 23rd place at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Such a great job! Well deserved! Congratulations! Ashram comfortably in 3rd even with mistakes is something that proves that she can beat the Russians. It will be interesting to see the Russians under real pressure for maybe the first time in 25 years.

I was looking for this. For some reason, I thought I had placed my bets on our volleyball teams and in artistic gymnastics, but I went the safest route with surfing and skateboarding, and a bold prediction in artistic gymnastics. I would never have thought, though, that it would have been a gold medal.

Ashram with a shocking ending. Big deductions there.

Pazhava!!!!! And Rut was soooo pretty!!! She did so well! WELL DONE! Mexico should be extremely proud of her!

It's really hard to watch this sport when Zelikman with a horrible execution ends up with a higher score than Kaleyn. I know Kaleyn had one mistake, but they shouldn't even be comparable.

Execution score for Arina is a joke, as always, Nothing new.

Nooooo, Kaleyn! I can't believe it! Right in the end...
