Reports coming in that hckosice has exploded

But the Olympics is not the event to just try and show some event, it's the place where the best events should be fought in Anyway, they could have just added that women's C1 then if they were so desperate to have more women's events, instead of taking away C2

I thought I heard women's C1 is not very competitive...at least not compared to men's C2. That would mean it's bad news..replacing a competitive event with a less competitive one is never good.

Really? That's bad news...

What's the rule by the way, there are no eliminations here right?

Verkerk lost to Castillo after an immense battle of 11 (!) minutes

Ma Long wins, not surprising of course but it was a good fight. Alright, now come on Samsonov, defend the non-Chinese honour (apart from that it would be amazing if he makes the final at his age and after his career of course)

Breathtaking men's semi-final going on between Ma Long and Mizutani

This men's pair final is just as exciting as the women's 800m freestyle final will be (for the gold and not unexpected obviously)

Silver Although the usually shitty camera positions seemed to show they'd pass the Germans in the end

Australian quadruple sculls beaten, that's a bit of a surprise. Not a shock, but still.

And that's it, she did well but 2 big misses cost her a chance

Htwe missed the board entirely

Come on Htwe please give us the best surprise of the Olympic archery so far

Well it's been fun, but since it's 05.30am, good night

I completely missed the 3rd swimmers apparently, suddenly they were at 700m...showing how exciting I found this final

Alright people, how many seconds are the US going to win this 4x200 final by? I'm going for 5.5 seconds, place your bets.

And that freestyle leg, damn...like he was already relaxing I seriously think he's got the WR in the tank.

That first 50 by Condorelli was insane btw

Our commentator: "Chalmers! Who could have thought that?!"

YEEESS!! Timmers A Belgian medal in THE swimming event

Belmonte Garcia

No idea about Germany, but in the Dutch swimming federation everything is a huge mess. I don't know the details but there's a whole lot of shit going on in there coming for a huge part from Joop Alberda, the main guy responsible for Dutch swimming in the past years (who turned it into a big pile of horse manure and then resigned a couple weeks ago). I hope these Olympics in swimming are good for us in the sense that the swimming federation will undergo a huge clean-up after Rio. That would be very much needed. Apart from that, the entire team is acting "weird" in interviews. Like they don't really care or something, or like they want to say things that they know they shouldn't say on camera.

I know, but this time it seems even worse than ever. It's so annoying
