Well, RIP

Flyweight boxer from Burundi is in the second round

PDF's are being added literally right now https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/boxing/reports.htm Three weights are online as of this moment, but it's going fast. Edit: A minute later and it's six.

What makes it even worse is that most of them aren't even sick at all. They could compete, no problem, but just aren't allowed to. I mean, it sucks just as badly when you get injured or actually sick now, but at least in that situation you simply can't compete even if you wanted to...

Haven't seen Pidcock in these conditions and on a course like this yet. Although they are of course definitely not the only two serious contenders.

Van der Poel is only travelling today, that's remarkably late considering the difference in conditions (which are conditions that usually favour him less, so he could use the time..).

1. Churandy Martina winning a gold medal, because I don't know any top athlete who has more of a 'life is good, even when the sports part doesnt work out' attitude than him. 2. No more COVID-related withdrawals for athletes who even aren't actually sick. 3. Gold medals (or medals) for athletes who have a good story behind them: veterans who always missed out on the gold (or a medal), athletes who nobody expected to win, athletes who went through hard personal times (think Jenny Rissveds, who, as she said, 'Three years ago did not even want to be alive anymore', but managed to recover in an impressive fashion), and so on. Sideris Tasiadis, whose girlfriend died the year before Rio, is another example of that.

Doctor taking the meaning of incompetence to a whole different level, dear lord. If we had simply all used mouth wash, we wouldn't have a pandemic !

Reshmie Oogink is out due to a positive COVID test. Which also means the end of her career.

And confirmed. Also announced the end of her career with this

Word on the street is mentioning Dutch taekwondoka Reshmie Oogink..

We're not surprised, but it's always going to be a matter of 'shit, not athlete X', 'ah crap, not him/her!'

That was a rather unimpressive performance by the Dutch team. Sure, the score warms them up nicely, but that was really 5% thanks to them and 95% thanks to Zambia just being....well, not really good

Candy Jacobs is out, positive COVID test

Lol, European Handball Federation fined the Norwegian women for not wearing revealing bikini bottoms during the bronze medal game at the European championships, but opting to go for less revealing shorts. https://www.eurohandball.com/en/news/en/disciplinary-commission-imposes-a-fine-for-improper-clothing/ I wonder how many teams/athletes have been fined before for not showing enough instead of showing too much? Norwegian federation rightfully said they are completely behind the team and will pay the whole fine without any issue.

Jamaica clearly does not go with the Chinese and Vietnamese 'They have to be tall' rule by choosing the Pocket Rocket

This would be so awesome. The more people outside of mountainbiking and/or Sweden can hear about her, the better. True inspiration.

It's odd that adding a second clock is a matter of not more than 20 seconds if you know where to click, but this second clock only shows up when clicking the time (so opening the 'calendar view') or hovering your cursor above the time, while actually having both show in the taskbar (like you said) is such a hassle I'm thinking about buying a 3 euro clock somewhere to put on my desk in Japanese time, that might be easier

Sherida Spitse, the player with the most appearances in history for the Dutch team (188), will miss the Olympics due to a knee injury she suffered in training yesterday. Joëlle Smits will replace her.

I barely slept on Saturday night so did need a normal one last night, but today it'll start Going to sleep at 21:00, waking up at 05:00 Tomorrow going to at sleep 20:00, waking up at 04:00 on Wednesday Wednesday going to at sleep 19:00, waking up at 03:00 on Thursday Thursday going to at sleep 18:00, waking up at 02:00 on Friday Friday going to sleep at 17:00, waking up at whenever the first event starts on Saturday minus 20 minutes for breakfast And then there we are, Japanese-time rhythm

That'll work, thanks Just raises the question of...why?! I mean, why not simply call the stream "Gymnastics - Men - Qualifying day 1" so you can simply open the whole daily schedule and Ctrl + F to whichever stream you want? Saves tons of time and clicking. Oh well, I guess streaming services like these aren't built to be logical

That is road cycling, however Still sad. Martinez is much more of an attractive rider than Uran, plus doesn't have a history of...you know, selling the freaking gold medal on the finish line

Oh crap, now I'm afraid to open it Never a fan of things like this coming with a major new look so shortly before something big, so you only have a very short time to get used to things So far it seems to look mostly the same though, with only a little difference in the top bar which now takes some extra space, God knows why. The streams are still listed in an annoyingly sport-less way, or at least many of them. Names like "Team - Mixed | Round of 16" and "Qualifying - Men | Day 1", come on Other than that, things didn't seem to change much. Still a daily chronological schedule with the same look, still a menu with all sports where you can select one sport. I only hope they changed the way they placed the streams in the sport-specific pages, they used to always have them chronologically, awesome, but then changed it to some sort of grouping in a non-chronological order.

There will be a * next to Duplantis' gold forever!
