Sri Lanka eliminated China in Archery. What a big surprise!

Scoring in diving is very open-ended. This is why I don't like diving, even though I love gymnastics. You can't dish out scores as you want in gymnastics; it has to follow a specific code of points where each and every deduction is clearly noted. It's not perfect, but at least it's not as crazy as diving is.

Back to rhythmic gymnastics now, and the girl from Armenia is SPECTACULAR.
-
Karate not only had the most ridiculous rules for Qualification (at least one continent should be represented per gender, not per weight), they also have a ridiculous rule for allowing two bronze medals. 8 athletes compete, 4 get a medal. This is stupid. This is the sport I mostly dislike at the Olympics, and even in their first-ever appearance they cannot get things right.

Iceland got their first ever Olympic gold medal. Nice.
-
The top 3 had better times than she had. Nice for her, though. And another medal for Brazil. 2 medals in 1 hour. I can't complain.

Unexpected bronze medal in Athletics!
-
The Brazilian flagbearer lost his SF bout in boxing. Ouch. One more chance for gold gone. We have another one in the afternoon, and even if this guy loses, he will probably fight against Samoa for the bronze medal, so another medal is quite possible.

I don't know why in Twitter everybody says Brazil is the team "verdeamarelha". The words for yellow in Portuguese are amarelo (male) and amarela (female), not amarelha. My best guess is that in Spanish the word is "amarillo" and they think they have to "convert" the "ll" to "lh" in Portuguese.

Yes! We still have a chance for a gold medal. Congratulations to Argentina for an awesome match.
-
What a lost opportunity to seal the deal.

Stop it! Don't try to interfere in our only chance for a gold medal here.
-
Another medal for Diogo! Yes!!
-
Poor Dolci. So many mistakes. He must be happy with a silver medal, though. Huge achievement.
-
Yup. Only a few tenths more and he could have won a medal.
-
The Serbian guy did so well! I'm impressed! Too bad he had to make three giant circles before his dismount and only two are allowed without a penalty in execution.
-
The Italian gymnast had a HUGE routine with a lot of difficult releases. Simply amazing!

Soares tried to increase his difficulty and fell. Oh, well. At least he tried. He had zero chances of getting a medal if he didn't increase his difficulty, so he did the right thing (despite probably finishing last). Kitazono received a much higher score than he deserved. This is the first score I consider to be completely wrong in the whole competition. It's been fair so far (mostly), but Kitazono's score really killed it. He deserved 13.7 or less.

Bachynska has so much potential, but she wastes it all the time.
-
Puiu is a disgrace to Romania. I can't believe they didn't have someone better than her.
-
This mixed teams format in table tennis is severely flawed. The Japanese team is playing against "Europe 1" team (Serbia and Sweden). The Serbian girl lost the first match, but the Swedish guy had a very convincing win in the second match. Then they are forced to play doubles against a Japanese pair who had the chance to train together for months. Really fair, yeah.
-
A medal for Austria! Yes!!!!
-
Scores in trampoline today are a joke. I can't believe it.
