Quasit

Great for Egypt, that makes up for this close losses in shooting.

Well, turned out to be the best day yet. I gave Conway no chance and she has just won bronze. If not fencing, then judo. This is all important for future funding, that's why.

YES, amazing. Happy for Kauzer too, he really deserved an Olympic medal after all that time.

Cool, now hoping for an Iranian medal.

Day 5 Finals Canoeing (Slalom) - Men's K-1 Joseph Clarke After Florence's bad final run yesterday, I hope for a better performance from Clarke today. Medal contender, yes, but unpredictable event so I'll leave it at that. Cycling - Women's Road Time Trial Emma Pooley 2008 silver medalist and 2010 world champion. No idea what to expect from her now after her comeback, favourites are others. Some give her a shot at a medal but I don't know enough about women's cycling, to be honest. Hoping for a good performance, of course. Cycling - Men's Road Time Trial Chris Froome Geraint Thomas Froome as one of the main favourites. I'll make this short: I'm hoping for him to be Wiggin's successor and win the gold. Diving - Men's Synchronised 3m Springboard Jack Laugher Chris Mears This time a bit more optimistic about a podium finish. 2015 worlds bronze medalists and 2016 European champs so they don't have to fear any duo (except the Chinese, of course ). Fencing - Women's Individual Foil no British participation Fencing - Men's Individual Sabre no British participation Gymnastics (Artistic) - Men's Individual All-Around Max Whitlock Nile Wilson Wilson and Whitlock qualified as 5th and 12. If they can repeat that, it'd be a success. Their best chance is still half a week ahead of them. Judo - Women's -70kg Sally Conway Miled , Émane and Bolder /Kim are her opponents in her bracket. She should win her first bout but Émane will be too strong for her. Judo - Men's -90kg no British participation Rowing - Women's Quadruple Sculls no British participation Rowing - Men's Quadruple Sculls Jack Beaumont Angus Groom Peter Lambert Sam Townsend Not GB's strongest boat right now. I wouldn't dismiss their chances but I don't think they can go for a medal here. The goal is not finishing 6th then. Shooting - Men's 50m Pistol no British participation Shooting - Men's Double Trap Tim Kneale Steven Scott Kneale has a chance if he can make it into the semis. Current vice-world champion in this event but I expect a very strong field here today. Swimming - Women's 200m Butterfly no British participation Swimming - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Jazmin Carlin Georgia Coates Eleanor Faulkner Camilla Hattersley Making it into the final is the minimum and then we'll see. Around 5th-7th, I'd say. Swimming - Men's 100m Freestyle Duncan Scott Good work making it into the final here. 5th-8th is realistic. Swimming - Men's 200m Breaststroke Andrew Willis Showed a very good performance in the semifinal and can go for a medal here. He will have to perform at his best though. Table Tennis - Women's Singles no British participation Weightlifting - Women's -69kg Rebekah Tiler Starts in the B Group and improving on her personal best would be a success. Weightlifting - Men's -77kg no British participation optimistic shot on medals 6 reasonable shot on medals 3

Team GB medals after Day 4 Rank Gold Silver Bronze Total 11 1 3 2 6 After two bronzes, now two silver up. Guy finally with a good performance, helping the team to get silver and O'Connor was really close too. Swimming looks fine, so far. Unfortunately, the third contender I had in mind (Florence in canoe slalom) couldn't do anything in the final. As Nickyc707 pointed out, it formally things look better than in London (1-3-2 [6] now as opposed to 0-2-2 [4] in 2012).

Maybe I did underestimate them but mainly because I expected more from Mexico, hence why I wouldn't have been disappointed with 4th place. Guy on the other hand showed he can go sub 1:45 last night. Adding everything together (200m ind. + relay), only Haas (1:44,14) and Sun (winning time in 200m of 1:44,65) were faster. It could have been bronze so I stick with what I've said, he disappointed in the individual final. You're right but I have hoped for medals from as many different sports as possible. In fencing, Kruse has that amazing opportunity. In the team, I don't know. They will face Russia in the QF and in my opinion, the women's rugby sevens team has a better shot than the men but let's see. Of course we will have to wait for the flagship events (rowing, track cycling, sailing) but I don't think the many golds in track cycling and athletics will be repeated, which is why especially golds have to come from elsewhere too to compensate.

Not good.

That was amazing, Park.

Ah okay. Good results for Slovenia and Israel.

Huh, why against van Emden?

Good time by Benus. Amazing fail by Florence too.

Congrats.

Maybe you were going to earlier and decided not to,going to the main site or so again. If you want to post again in the same topic, it saved what you were going to say before (or quoted). Happened to me before. If you're not going to reply what you quoted/wrote, delete what you did.

Nagase.

So because of this rowing QF match-up holding the games in Brazil was a bad idea? I agree on the venue but certainly not on Brazil. Also, other nations catch up, in rowing too, wouldn't you say?

Day 4 Finals Canoeing (Slalom) - Men's C-1 David Florence He and the others were pretty confident to skip the second qualification race, with the exception of Clarke in K-1 who needed that second run, so today is the day of truth. He will have to go through the semis first before the final. If he does what he did in the qualification, we can hope for a medal. Diving - Women's Synchronised 10m Platform Tonia Couch Lois Toulson Favourites are others, so I'll stick with what I said yesterday, 4th-5th would be good. Equestrian - Individual Eventing William Fox-Pitt Pippa Funnell Kitty King Gemma Tattersall After Fox-Pitt blew it in the cross country, no chance. Equestrian - Team Eventing William Fox-Pitt Pippa Funnell Kitty King Gemma Tattersall Again, forget it. Note: I'm no expert in this sport, I don't even watch it. I go by distances in current standings. Fencing - Men's Individual Épée no British participation Gymnastics (Artistic) - Women's Team All-Around Becky Downie Ellie Downie Claudia Fragapane Ruby Harrold Amy Tinkler Nominally, this one should be between , , and but they can be 4th again like in the qualification so if any of those big three makes a huge mistake, they might sneak in. Not likely though, confirming 4th would be good. Judo - Women's -63kg Alice Schlesinger Since competing for GB I don't think she's won something big internationally. In her draw she will most likely face Bak , van Emden and Agbegnenou . I see the French as the favourite in her draw but she might very well struggle against van Emden. She should at least beat Bak. Judo - Men's -81kg no British participation Shooting - Women's 25m Pistol no British participation Swimming - Women's 200m Freestyle no British participation Swimming - Women's 200m Individual Medley Siobhan-Marie O'Connor Her time in the semis was superb. Hosszu will probably be too strong for the rest again but O'Connor has a chance for silver though. Gotta watch Ye and Coutts . Swimming - Men's 200m Butterfly no British participation Swimming - Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay James Guy Cameron Kurle Ieuan Lloyd Stephen Milne Robbie Renwick Duncan Scott Daniel Wallace Definitely a medal contender and the main competitor against the USA, if we go according to qualfying times. Good chance and Guy should finally grasp it. Weightlifting - Women's -63kg no British participation Weightlifting - Men's -69kg no British participation optimistic shot on medals 3 reasonable shot on medals 2

Team GB medals after Day 3 Rank Gold Silver Bronze Total 10 1 1 2 4 Instead of the women's rugby sevens team and James Guy it was the duo Daley/Goodfellow and Edward Ling winning the bronzes. The optimistic guess was definitely possible. At least the minimum of expectations has been satisfied but I'm really disappointed with James Guy.

I would have had medal-winning performances wrong though. I was more certain Guy would win a medal rather than Daley/Goodfellow, so yes, others have to step in and make up for other losses. GB usually starts slow but I doubt something like 6 golds in one day like that saturday in London will happen again. We need those solid performances in track cycling, rowing and sailing for 4th place again but most importantly, as many medals as possible or funding will be cut. So far the £347 million haven't been worth it but we will see in the end. The main goal will be unachievable with recent chokes already, some boxers are out already too, Murray brothers in doubles, men's field hockey won't even qualify for the QF etc. Litchfield's 4th place is a good thing actually, I never expected him to finish 4th. He did the best he could. The women's rugby sevens team created hopes thanks to the group stage win over Canada but in the end, they were the better team to begin with. A fencing medal would have done good for the future. So far, it's all about men's foil and an individual medal was probably "easier" to achieve than the team medal, in my opinion.

Another choke, this time by Guy. Also disappointed with the Australians, I can understand Syd's frustration here. Backstroke was supposed to be one of their success stories this time. Oh well. Sadly, I felt the 100m breast was going to be anticlimactic. , , all off the podium.

What a choke.

Another unexpected bronze for GB, this time thanks to Daley and Goodfellow. Big score for Chen/Lin.

A bit strange, Brunet should have won but how many times have I said "should have".

Thanks and for Slovakia it's gonna be tomorrow too then.

Good bronze for Ling and certainly not expected.
