Happy ending wohoo  Got 3 out of 4 by my liking, damn you Orange, could have been a care free final 4 but no...

1/4 for me as I am cool with France.

You're lucky England are too dumb for this sport.

Any winner depresses you unless it's Italy, Argentina or Janja Garnbret.

The highest xG?

 

That sounds great, but what is an xG?  

Yeah, I had to look up xG and h/t.

Don't know why everything needs acronyms nowadays.

If you can't start sleeping, here is one of the most beautiful pieces from Czech classical music. 
Bedřich Smetana started to compose"Vltava" (Moldau) like a healthy person, finished it like a totally deaf.

Funnily enough, I've heard this piece recently. Am I the only one who thinks of Israel's anthem Hatikvah upon hearing 1:08 to 1:38?

I want to thanks for the british and portuguese jury for the only votes for Argentina @Dragon @Quasit @kungshamra71

 

I dont know why, but i presume Dragon has to do more with this than Quasit but i can be wrong.

That appears to be the case, however a single point was awarded by me as well.

I would say it isn't that weird because songs from the 1950/60s don't do as well in TISC as more recent songs from the 1990s or the 2000s.

While the Italian entry didn't do it for me, I'd give tons of points for something like 'I Fought the Law'. 

Who would have thought the only jury without points at this stage would be Italy?  

Zhang really choked this one away.  

Wait, so Team Skeet/Trap has one bronze medal-winning team but Mixed Team Skeet/Trap offers two bronze medals?
I don't get it.  

I'll join the jury again.

Womens Team qualified to the Last 16 ! what a nice surprise

They beat France too, so or  in the quarterfinals.  

Chia/Soh did it.    

Always amazing to see how after that long qualification round some shooters go 9/15 or 15/25 in decisive rounds.

Do you know why there are no Chinese men's doubles listed for the world championships?

Honestly, got into watching weightlifting in Tokyo and have enjoyed it here, too.  Great sport to watch.  Full of strategy and explosive athleticism.  Lots of fun!  

Let's hope we'll get to see it on the Olympic programme after Paris and with more than 10 events but that's too much to ask right now.

Why not a new thread (or one for women cycling) ? 

I thought there was one and made sure I didn't overlook it but apparently there isn't any yet.

Is nobody commenting on how there's a Tour de France Femmes now and Lorena Wiebes  won the first stage yesterday?

 inexpected silver in 800 m for Sedjati , this race of shame they put the  best one on line 8 because he didn't pay or because he is not pro-USA!!?  Finished 5 with the worst personnal time ... USA shouldn't host anything 

Wayde van Niekerk won his Olympic title from Lane 8. The best find a way dealing with any kind of circumstance.

That's one very unexpected gold medal for us, which is also historic for Hungarian fencing. I hope Márton will come back for the next season, with her this team should easily qualify for Paris.

Women's Individual Sabre the only title missing. Same holds true for Italy in that event at world championships.
