That should normally be the gold for Avatar Badloe

Badloe in 1st, but he definitely can not get one bad result or else that result (or the DQ) will count and he'll lose out.

Didn't expect to get a 1-2 anywhere

Just had a good look at Badloe for the first time, he had his haircut done based on the awesome series Avatar (The Last Airbender)

Ugh, again the scores disappear after the first elimination, come on...!

Perilli desperately asking for a flag, but can't find it! Oh there it is

Preferrably without spoiling other sports in this thread, of course This is the kind of gold that is so cool, after several times just missing out

@hckošice has been spotted running drunk as a sailor on the streets of Kosice

Thank you lack of scores, I had no idea the medal was already certain Well,

Come on, put the scores back..

Second question: is there any difference with qualifying? So many high scores there, but here there's already 4 misses after 25 targets for the best. I know there's extra pressure and such. Edit: Right, question was asked above here already, my bad

Who decides where the target comes from and which way it goes (mostly the latter), I assume it's random or is it left/right/left/right etc? I thought this would be as easy to follow as the skeet, but this is a bit harder to watch

Sam Kendricks is out due to a positive COVID-19 test, there goes half of the awesome atmosphere which has been surrounding the pole vault lately Jakob Ingebrigtsen has decided not to do the 5km and will focus entirely on the 1500m. Taoufik Makhloufi has withdrawn and said an injury is the reason, so we will see him compete just as often as we have in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021 combined. Oh well. Dafne Schippers is out of the 100m, there goes a nice 7th place in one of the semis.

Salukvadze is very much in it in her 9th Olympics!

Hitting all 125 of these targets, wow

China! What an awesome fight from all four of them and what a huge improvement from Li Bingjie And huge favourite Australia not even second neither!

So far, this 4x200 is more interesting than expected

Chase Kalisz is OUT

Great race for gold, but I'm disappointed both by the winner and the lack of a WR

Let's see if Chalmers joins legends Kahanamoku, Weismuller, Popov and vdHoogenband in winning the 'king's race' of swimming twice. Oh and if someone, anyone, could swim Cielo out of the record books, that'd be great.

Dear lord what a time for Zhang Fastest ever time without one of them magic super suits, that record had stood since London 2012

Femke Heemskerk, who is always shining in relays with sub-52's, finally with her first individual final after being in/near the top for 10+ years

Dutch NOS generally likes to go with analysing every Dutch race so long that they're back just in time for the next non-Dutch final (if they even show that) Because the regular viewer here apparently wants the STORY instead of live sports.

And that says something, because there have been plenty of great finals so far

Nobody sees the silver for Kamminga as rough though, this was exactly as expected: Kamminga starting like a madman (the best way for him to race) and Stubblety-Cook finishing way faster than anyone else. Considering how close this race was, any medal would have been a success and unlike.... he definitely sees this as a big success
