Xue got screwed in the pole vault there...he's now got totally wet clothes weighing a ton more..

Sydney McLaughlin out

True. And please, the first thing I heard on BBC (obviously totally objective..... ) was that it was not intentional. Don't come with that bullshit, this was another disgusting and typical Cavendish-move.

Perkovic and Caballero in trouble.. one attempt left

Positive reaction times being counted as false start is pure shit by the way.

The dive

Nice dive by De Oliveira reaching the semi's 7.6 by the judges.

Unbelievable that Cavendish wasn't punished for this...looking where the Korean guy is, then moving down so aggressively...I know Cavendish is very much known for being an incredible asswhipe of a rider, but this was outright disgusting. F*ck you, Mark, may you never win anything ever again.

Rens Blom wouldn't give a fuck

There's of course nothing anyone can do about this weather, but letting them compete...? That's totally irresponsible!

Nicely done

The rain is absolutely pouring down and not even the commentary positions are covered

Well, time for the classic of all classics in women's hockey, - I just hear now that our reserve sleeps outside the Olympic Village...is that something general? Reserves can't stay in the Village? Because that would be one of the most stupid IOC rules ever...(and they've got a lot of stupid rules)

Well yeah, if you're 130kg and you don't look fat, you must be absolutely huge

Honestly if he comes from a poor family or something, I can't really blame him...the Olympics are what really count like in most sports I guess and that's three golds in a row

Wow! What a pure domination And so deserved that that disgusting Kayaalp (hitting Lopez' eye or something) lost and lost big time

We made the semi-finals Alright, it was NED - NED, but still Always a bit disappointing when two teams/players from the same nation play each other in any sport..

This The rest of that post is weirdly sad of course, but still

Wow Honestly I don't know how Hernandez got silver instead of gold, in my opinion her routine was more 'exciting', but then again, I'm no expert

This is how I normally watch it (on the verge of a heart attack), but now that we even have a somewhat realistic medal chance....oh lord. If I never post again after this, it was nice discussing with you all Sanne in her last interview before the final: "I'm going to take all the risks I can, all or nothing. If I can get my most difficult routine on the scoreboard, which I am going for, I think I have the highest difficulty of everyone here."

Lobke Berkhout (our 5-time 470 world champ) is analyzing this and agrees with Bouwmeester's brother: "They're going to go on the water but I doubt they will actually race." Laser (men) has been cancelled for today.

So, the "delay flag" has been brought down and the "D-flag" has been brought up with the Laser flag under it. According to Bouwmeester's brother this means they are going to go onto the water right now, but he thinks it's mostly a last ditch attempt to try and sail today. Most likely scenario is that they'll go on the water now and get back without racing. Hopefully it will be that, because a medal race with basically no wind would just turn the whole thing in a shitty lottery.

Yeah, Lowlands is not exactly known for being completely sober
