Definitely one of the most exciting new additions. Estonian and Latvian gold: check. Now Lithuania's turn somewhere.

Too much to follow and priorities. I haven't even touched artistic gymnastics until today.

Which means that one of Heo/ Cordón/ Caljouw will be in the semis.

Argentina on board, well done.

Can Takyi beating Caicedo be considered an upset?

Important day coming up with road time trial and especially rowing.

After Day 4 Rio: 55/306 events, 46 NOCs with medals After Day 4 Tokyo: 72/339 events, 56 NOCs with medals Still a long way to go but with 56 NOCs on the medal table, we're just 30 away from equalling the Rio figure. Right now, it looks good on getting there. First ever medal for Turkmenistan deserves a mention. The fierce battle between the top 4 continues. Expectedly, Japan with the biggest improvement so far even leading the table. In Rio, Japan won 14 medals (3-1-10). Much more bronze medals have been converted into gold. Russia also impressive (3-6-3 in Rio). Statistically speaking, the US team slightly behind the Rio counter (9-8-9) by a bronze but with more events finished. Canada with an impressive performance so far (0-1-4 in Rio) and Brazil benefiting from the new additions of skateboarding and surfing. Australia has not yet won an Olympic gold outside of swimming, neither have the Koreans outside of archery. Hungary and Italy not were they were five years ago right now. Still missing out on medals that had some by the time in Rio: Greece, Poland, Sweden, among others. 4th place counter* (6) (5) (4) (3) (2) (1) and the Refugee Olympic Team *5th places in events that award two bronze medals

4 days have passed already. Have your feelings changed over the last days? The average after Day 2 had an approximate mood value of 5,03.

Estonia.

Years ago, Harimoto was considered the prodigy to challenge the Chinese. Now he's lost to Jorgic.

What a fight by Argentina. Also have to say I like a lot of the team and referee kits here, beautiful.

Ferrand-Prevot.

After Day 3 Rio: 40/306 events, 38 NOCs with medals After Day 3 Tokyo: 50/339 events, 51 NOCs with medals Japan, the USA, China and Russia all going very well so far. Compared to Rio, they all have collected more golds already. Especially Japan, as expected. Some dents in the US team (if you can call it that in swimming) and a subpar day for China with no gold won. The silvers in weightlifting, diving and table tennis were mostly expected to be golden. Australia has gained momentum in the pool but only there when in Rio, medals (4-0-3) were won across many sports. Italy surely disappointed with no individual fencing gold and it also looked a bit brighter 5 years ago in general (same amount of medals but 3-4-2 in alloy). Also Hungary (3-0-0) and, interestingly enough, Thailand (2-1-1) have dropped a bit. Significant improvements compared to Rio by (1-1-2). Canada (0-1-3) and France (0-1-0) can be mentioned as well. Historical first gold for the Philippines. The biggest disappointment as to what was anticipated (so far) still the Dutch team but also thanks to reasons we know. 4th place counter* (4) (3) (2) (1) and the Refugee Olympic Team *5th places in events that award two bronze medals

Nightmare scenario from a Chinese perspective but an absolutely amazing final.

Meanwhile 2-2 in the final between China and Japan with Japan coming back from being 0-2 behind.

And there is the first ever gold for the Philippines.

Gbagbi wins a bronze! Taekwondo never disappoints in diversity among medal-winning NOCs. Why not add one more weight to each gender? Wouldn't mind a team event either.

Lin/Cheng easily defeated the French Lebesson/Yuan 4-0 for bronze.

Denmark and Kuwait guaranteed medals!

That was extremely close. Did not expect this final to be that close and exciting.

Japan had the Koreans on the verge of losing in the SF. Just lost the shoot-off.

You're right, tie for 4th with Verrasztó.

Surprising but it has been a while since Chile won something.

I thought it might be interesting to see how the mood swings during these games so after every second day I'm adding a poll here. Choose a number between 0 and 10 and share your feelings towards the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It should reflect on your mood. It doesn't matter if it's about the atmosphere, the organisation, results or all of it. If requested, I can also make the poll anonymous next time.

That depends on what you were hoping for. Someone expected 70 medals but that was never within reach. I would have said around 50 total - which is a considerable drop from Rio already - but now I'm at around 30-35. Many "flagship" sports are falling apart like rowing and athletics and I don't expect track cycling to save the medal count either. Gymnastics is also not great. Taekwondo looked very good a while ago but it is clear that many athletes train for this moment at the Olympics. So you can't go by world championship golds from two years ago either. Don't know about sailing and I don't care about equestrian. Also, for one of the "big guns", GB ignores many sports way too much. Handball, basketball, volleyball, water polo almost non-existent. Even a sport that has 18 medal events (wrestling), totally ignored, same can be said about fencing, badminton and sprint canoeing. Not even many tennis players to be seen. When some sports don't produce the desired results, it's good to have a backup. With cuts in funding because the results are not as good as you were targetting you'll just kill more sports. So yes, right now it does not look good. Ultimately, not every country can always have good results. There will always be a disappointment somewhere.
