And Lytvynenko is out in rep. without losing a single point at the whole tournament like Bilodid. No questions - Ma was a bit more active. But these decisive passivity point makes judo close to that infamous 1:1 matches in Greco-Roman

Thank you. Very important medal for us. We have hot so many good shooters now and India had an incredibly strong whole team. In Tokyo Kulish came close to the medal but.. the button came undone during the shot.

Predicted number still can be achieved. But it was lower than in Tokyo from the beginning - 17 vs 19. Of course even these 17 medals are very optimistic during the war. Especially for athletes who had training in Ukraine this summer. Electricty was absent 4-7 hours in a row. Then - 2 hours of electricity and some new 4-7 hours without light. The temperatures were extremely high - 38 - 40 degrees in the shadow. And no air conditioner could be used without electricity. Plus air-raid alarms could last hours thrughout the night. Thus it was not easy to get full dose of sleeping and recover. Thus every medal is a miracle.

That is the calculation made before the Games. This is not cummulative result but only prediction for the next day like xG

Lesson from the Games - look at the weather forecast before sending athletes to the Opening Ceremony where they do not have place to hide from the rain. We were realy suprised by the bad performances from swimmers. But it turned out that all the team is ill ((( Zheltyakov (several seconds slower than at Euro a month ago) said "the biggest mistake - is their illness.

Our xM for Day 6 (realistic/optimistic). Day 6: 0,29xM / 0,43xM

I could not watch the final, so I cannot evelauate performances and scores but I am very sad for Kovtun. He worked hard, spent so much time abroad with his coach - deserved the medal, but...

Just one. But the crew was unstable. Just before the Games we made a substitution - a girl from W1x went to W4x (so we lost W1x license). It was a clear evidence of problems. And I did not expect medal today in "realistic mode". But, of course, when we spent 3/4 of the final at the medal position it was a real drama to lost all the stakes.

And our collapse at the last 500m Truely, I am not happy with my prediction for today is correct so far (

You jsut forget about wrestling. This big trio has very simialr problems and they have one more common feature.

З Калініною взагалі цікаво. Але там є ще Гриценко, якого замінили на Середу у синхроні. Не знаю, як тепер його рахуватимуть.

Our xM for Day 5 (realistic/optimistic). Day 5: 0xM / 2xM

Great final and great drama! Congratulations to medal holders and get ready for apparatus to all the others!

Interview with the head of the coaching council of the russian national fencing team, Mark Rakita. — Did you know that the granddaughter of your teammate Vladimir Nazlymov, Tatyana, is competing at this Olympics? For the US team. — I am not a nationalist, but the Crimean Tatars sometimes turned out to be traitors. Comrade Stalin expelled them from Crimea, the entire nation. And Nazlymov is a Crimean Tatar, although he was born in Dagestan. His father, a normal Soviet officer, returned from the war to Crimea — but they did not let him in, so he went to Ufa. And then he was drawn to the Muslim region. * * * — I am 31 years old, unlike you, I did not live through the Cold War, when the US and the USSR fought simultaneously in different parts of the world — and there was no question of removal. Have we lost influence? — Today, Satan rules the roost — the US. They hurt us, but we do not hurt them. Here is my question: why? — Can we? — That's the question. Everyone around us says that we are so strong that we can. Then why don't we do it? Why don't we put our military group in Cuba? There are plenty of American bases around us. If we bring a couple of submarines there, they will understand that they are under fire. So that their as**s will sweat too! At the Olympics they show that they can do anything to us. Yes, I understand — we don't need to snap back. We need to behave with dignity, but we need to respond in such a way that they also feel pain.

First medal for Ukraine!! So will se how xM will work for Day 4 (realistic/optimistic). Day 4: 0,62xM / 1,76xM* * I know that we have only one medal chance this day but expectations were noted before the Games

Excellent happy end for a couple! Hope it`s not the final ones for them

Thank you! He had arm injury. Hope he will came back to his form at the individual event.

Я занадто старий для таких емоцій )

@hckošice Congratularion!!!! You did it!!

My congratulations to Canada. Great stability! I am not so sure about Sereda. He was injured and could missed today`s event so our initial entry for synchro was Boliukh/Grytsenko. They missed a lot of trainings but did really well today - it was all-in for that 5-th dive.

You know, it may look differently from the outside. We would say that Italy is doing very well at the nowadays olympics. But I have one more obvious observation. The Games are much harder for not top sport-powers like the USA, China when they are hosted not but these tops but by some other economically strong states.

Yes, we have 2 days without medals. But it was rather expected. Of course, we had good chances in women epee. Bezhura nad +5 against Mallo-Breton and Kharkova nad +3 against her. But my xM (like xG in soccer) for the days 1 and 2 were very low (realistic/optimistic) Day1: 0xM / 0xM Day2: 0,57xM / 0.86xM Will see if day 3 will be better Day3: 2,36xM / 3.93xM

Yes. That was totally different world of sport with GBR at the 36 place with 1 gold, which looks unbelivable from the 21st century. But we mostly kept that level in total number of medals until the start of the russian agression and annexions in 2014. Our normal number of medals was 19-23 (with the only exception for Rio). But of course the share of gold medals declined dramatically

Atlanta 1996 was good enough too And our best Olympics so far

Ну, що ж - то все був розігрів - чекаємо на завтра ) До речі, бачу Банькіна в міксті в парі з Костевич. Схоже, постаивли за спортивним принципом того, хто був вище в особистому турнірі.
