"Don't need a silly helmet" Luckily she still has her earphones!

Nice, Awuah finally managed to land something.

Women's qualifying hasn't really gotten going well yet it seems, nothing too big or spectacular.

Here we go with the women girls. Let's see if Rayssa Leal will explode into tears and disbelief after a good result in her first qualifying run

Slightly chubby staff swimmer is the hero of the day

That'd be cool too I like winners who finally win after always just missing out.

Much as I sympathize with her, she has literally won everything she can already. Keldiyorova has lost two consecutive world finals, from a neutral perspective I'd much rather see her take a rare title than see Abe win her 168th one

Pedro was so close to advancing to the next round

Can't we throw boxing out, btw? Every year it's the same: everyone from every country saying all of their athletes were robbed The one sport that apparently impossible to watch without saying one's countryman/woman was robbed

The screamers on Reddit won Cool serve style by the Italian btw, hadn't seen that

And the streets of Pyongyang went wild.

Do the VAR things come from the moon or what? That takes forever.

This Brazilian team is cool, vamos

Aaaand down go the graphics.

Sadly Olympic graphics are almost always worse than the ones that are ready to go in the usual World Cups/leagues/etc. Same thing in winter sports like biathlon, where the graphics all winter long are excellent and then come the Olympics and everything is thrown around.

No idea yet which I'll watch on what device, plus F3, F2 and F1 today I'm probably skipping all of the group matches in all the team sports and favouring things that lead to direct elimination, finals and such. Finished everything up after midnight last night (skipped the surfing and will do so again today), I hope today a bit earlier...

And especially Yulduz is really doing good, this year's she's been finishing midway in the pack in quite strong and good races, whereas usually athletes from her background would finish far, far, far ahead of the pack. If she can keep this progress up, and of course that is always an 'if', I genuinely believe she'll be capable of slowly moving towards things like top-30 results in (mostly flat, for now) World Tour races. Doing that even once would be amazing. https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/yulduz-hashimi

I was in fact talking about the place where the Carthaginian empire has it's roots after the princess/queen found her way out with a trick. Tarling wants to visit it, but it's sadly flat!

And while you're at it, also do away with talking about sports in threads of other sports especially during big multi-sports events Let's try and talk about swimming in the swimming thread, boxing results in the boxing thread and such.

USA, surprise

I think I missed you in the cycling thread by the way, with the new things about the Team Sky doping scandal.

By now do you think this is ever going to end?

Cool, Free Hat!

Next question: what's that red mascot thing? Someone's misshapen kidney?
