I don't get the grief weightlifting gets over doping. Sure, it's a disgrace what's happening to the 2008 and 2012 results but at least they're doing something about it. They were the other ones besides IAAF that had the guts to ban Russia, they would have banned other offenders if IOC had hurried up with the results and already reallocated a medal and banned several countries for the WC next year. Instead, we have people like FINA that protects and pampers dopers. We are hearing a lot about doping in weightlifting precisely because IWF wants to do something about it.

I watched it all. That was great. Iranian athete But he finished. It was important

About our team in the swimming pool: anything more than 2 medals already would have been surprising..like Dennis said, we were hoping for bronze in the 4x100m and maybe one medal from Kromowidjojo (like bronze in the 50 if everything went perfect), but that's about it. I'm much more saddened by Femke Heemskerk, of who we didn't expect an individual medal, but who had the most horrible swim meet in her career in terms of performance and technique...her French coach just destroyed her and she was swimming like a grandma, I've never seen a top swimmer look that bad in the pool. Considering she always comes across as a way nicer person than Kromowidjojo, I really hope she will change to another coach and finally reach her potential (which I believe can be bigger than Kromowidjojo)  
 
Polling in the judo had horribly bad luck with her draw, drawing the only opponent who really knows how to handle her already before the quarter finals..not much you can do about it. Like she said, "it's not like I lost to some 'nobody'..." 

The Japanese Cambodian cat impersonator is still full of energy  
 

I think you better watch this video, they explain things better than me.

I've got a feeling that the encouragement of the Paraguyan guy Ayala made him decide to move on. Ah, Ayala is waiting for him now  
 
 

I think Röhler is suspiciuos as well
Oh sorry i forgot he is German, cant be, Germans do not cheat
 
PS nothing against Röhler, but it becomes too much
 

Nope, three women won the medals. What is disgustingly unfair is calling them men. 

Hello, Olympic Fan. 
 
First of all, I would ask respect for Spain, a country that is struggling to emerge from recession and whose athletes are in a difficult situation, with little help. 
I'll remind the world champions we have had in recent years;
 
- Fatima Galvez (Shooting, Trap)
- Alberto Fernández (Shooting, Trap)
- Echegoyen / Betanzos (Saling, 49er FX)
- Javier Gomez Noya (Triathlon)
- Carolina Marin (Badminton)
- Miguel Angel Lopez (Athletics, Race Walk)
- Female Waterpolo
- Men's Handball
- Joel González (Taekwondo)
---
And many other world runners-up and bronze medal. ¿Is this a 0.00000001%?
 
Regards

@bestmen  it doesn't work
 

Ugh, again Farah.

Ok, I put it wrong. Soldiers should be able to deliver a message on an unfamiliar horse Fences represent natural obstacles.

The only criteria that is still left after warm-up time - Czech had to be eliminated for 4 refusals while now Czech dude was eliminated for 2 falls and 2-fall-rule is not eligible criteria to change the horse. I don't know now what Lesun's team will try to do, because I'm sure they will try to appeal somehow anyway.

And I'm still hoping that Francelina Cabral will complete one lap

Absolutely amazing race!

I'm a friend of João Pereira so I'm really happy for him, this was the best result ever of a portuguese in olympic thriatlon 

But we're 7 times better than you when it comes to medals per capita.
It really isn't that hard to win loads of medals when you're the 3rd largest country (in population) and have the money you have!
Especially when India is one of the bigger countries.
 
For me, it's no matter of hatred or jealousy. It's just kind of boring, when a country dominates.

Or merely a move to try and see whether a DQ would be overturned, like which has happened before in all kinds of events with all kinds of nations
I'm not a USA fan, but dear lord, not everything is one big bad attempt to a conspiracy/influence judges by Americans  

USA has been disqualified for Mike Rodgers passing the baton to Justin Gatlin before the exchange zone, not for Bromell stepping on the line

Congratulations Canada

slovak anthem at olympics athletics..I´m crying the best of the bests days of my life...Thank you for this days for those emotions I´ll remember whole my life

This was the same kind of thing as the Americans vs Brazilians, with the difference being that the Americans were actually 100% knocked out of the race because of that. Losing a baton is different than having to regain your balance. 

well, what to say...
I´m speechless, entirely speechless...
 
This is my best and the most beautiful day in my life talking about sport ofc.
 
Matej is absolutely amazing !  I´m so happy he managed to keep all the pressure as he was clearly the biggest favorite for gold here, at least in Slovakia It was a cruel and exciting race, I lost some 10 years today just watching it, even in our TV his coach said : "peoples don´t be afraid, Matej is doing his tactics perfectl, He´ll start the race in 40th kilometer." so we were waiting this and he did it oh dear I do not know what to say more...I´m so happy, so so happy..I wanted this athletics medal so much...and finally we have it and it´s a gold ..I can´t believe it. Absolutely awesome. Congrats Matej, current world champion and olympic champion
 
Our 9th summer olympic gold in history and the first ever non-canoe slalom Gold
 
 
and finally Thank you all for your congratulations ! Thank a lot

Toth is an absolutely amazing talent
