What an anticlimactic men's final.

Krasniqi upsets Japan in Japan! With 'upsets' being relative in this case, of course, since it's not like she wasn't a favourite to begin with.

Other than being frustrated about the general fitness of his body nowadays, Zonderland was mostly sort of happy that he finally at least managed to get through a full routine without a fall or major incidents again in the end of his career (he hadn't been able to do today's routine since March, not even in training), and he was happy Deurloo's routine should be enough. Zonderland said he might compete once more in two months (world champs, I assume?), but that's about it. Really a star in Dutch sports history, both in terms of results and general attitude.

Cool to see Zonderland did fantastic and seems to be a medal favourite. At least, that's judging by Dutch NOS showing his high bar routine at least 6 times so far throughout the day and mostly ignoring Deurloo (because 'we' don't know Deurloo, and we all know Epke, so yeah). Weirdly, the actual results seem to say something different

Another victim of this sad stuff

Dutch commentator, who was on the same regular KLM flight as the other Dutch cases, tested positive and went to the quarantaine hotel. Sucks for him, but at least no athlete, the bigger issue is that it's yet another one from this flight..

That's what I thought and then I started watching taekwondo and judo (won't mention results here, obviously) and suddenly it was a half hour later

Sensational win by Carapaz, rarely have I seen a more deserved winner in a major road race Too bad McNulty's legs just completely exploded in the last few kilometers, he really would have deserved the silver. Great job by both of them to keep riding without playing games, otherwise the rest would have caught them for sure.

These guys did what they had to do on this climb, get rid of Van Aert. Van Aert Mollema Gaudu Fuglsang (as far as he had any shape anyway)

Kwiatkowski, Uran, Carapaz and Bettiol eating from Van Aert's plate

Roglic as sort of expected not nearly strong enough, too bad.

The Child of God isn't in the main group anymore.

Mollema still there, moving from left to right

Came back in again I think, because there he was

No need to attack this early yet Kelderman with a careful counter.

First medal of the Games, cool

What a result for Aisah

Delacruz is this year's first serious medal contender to bomb out

Well this is gonna be hard for the Dutch

It's starting!

Sterckx is losing it Hope she can smile soon, because just the fact that she is here is impressive and worthy of some serious pride.

Fraile already done as well.

Sad for Miyake, Tokyo is a few years too late for her

Well, is it Slowak, is it Czech, are those two exactly similar or mostly similar? I'm leaning towards the last option

Karsten Kroon was noticing that as well and wondered what language they'd speak
