How did he manage to lose 9 points in a row  It is incredibly sad how this match went.

41 years old, in his 5th Olympics, looking to make the round of 16 for the first time. Up 3-1 10-3 and loses 9 points in a row...
 
I don't see him turning this around now, what a choke...

Alaska saves the day 

Rylov sacrificed the relay to save energy and how it paid off wow

Federica Pellegrini was completely in tears at the Rai microphones, very moved. She is the first athlete in history to qualify for a final in swimming for 5 consecutive Olympic 

Will this be a day with China losing in diving, weightlifting and table tennis.

Yeah, very sad these two had to meet this early and we had to lose one of them.  Out of all the players they were my faves (along with Georgi). 
 
Lot's of surprises in this tennis tournament, we could be going to a random winner again, like Puig. 

By then Bach will have ensured we have to have a male and female lighting the cauldron so we can make that happen too  

Hancock, an absolute top top Olympic legend now, 3 times Olympic champion in men's skeet! 

@hckošice Csemez doing great in his match against  . For me he is the favourite against the  in the 1/8 as well. 

Canada with their first gold early early 

Japan winning 10+ golds from Judo and Karate was never in doubt. Let's see how few will spoil the party 

China on track for 8 golds as planned 

Happy for the medal, but after leading the whole final it is so frustrating throwing it away with the last shot (last 3-4 shots tbh). Small nations syndrome at it's finest. 

After watching a few hours of events  and especially because of Euro 2020, the lack of fans are really giving me an empty feeling. Things will get better fast, as we get into the nitty-gritty of matches, but for now it feels rather soulless.   

Let's go  Daria Bilodid  

Happy for Polina, she is doing a good job.  She is coming home with a win, but next round is going to be very tough and i don't have any expectation there. Let's hope this would be a good omen for the BG participation.

Polina Triffonova will open our participation at the Games, so this will be the first match i'll check out. It will be a tight game with the Cameroon girl. 

Osaka avoiding the spotlight again i see. 

I've got a medal for Iga in my predictions, things aren't so gloom.  If the rumors are true and the courts are very slow, it could be a good advantage for her. Bad luck, that she is in the most difficult section with a couple of tricky opponents in Badosa, Mertens, Putintseva, Vondrousova and of course Osaka (though i expect her to flop). If she was in any of the other 3 sections, the chances would have been sky high for a medal. 

We all knew this was going to happen, people shouldn't act so surprised  Very unfortunate for the affected athletes, but there was/is always a risk in the current situation.  

I know we have another day left, before the contests are closed, but people need to pick it up.  We usually had 55-60 contestants in 2016 & 2018 Olympics and for know i see we are under 40. Let's go people!
