Quasit

no more to say about GB in Rio just mouth open and wathcing ! respect
 
 
PS. and a + for Quasit in leading the thread. great job

I don´t agree. at first I thought the same, and was very sceptical about..and I absolutely ignored the first 3 days of mens competition,.. but then somehow I started to watch the 4th mens day, mainly because nothing else started yet this morning and I must say that I liked the competition very much, It catched me strongly and I tried to follow the race the whole day as much as possible, even I watched the last 4 holes in integrality and the fight for gold between Stenson and Rose was very exciting.
ofc that only my opinion but I loved it much and now I´m for to maintain this sport under the 5 rings

Notice how Germany did below expectations in pretty much all these events

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
 

And we have only gone and done it!
 
Roll on the task of overhauling the Americans in Tokyo
 
The Greatest Team GB Ever.

I'm glad Semenya won, stuff the haters good on her. Unwanted and disgusting attention been drawn to her. What a well deserved bronze for Willis. An athlete who speaks out against dopers in his sport. His twitter account is fecking great. Wahoo

Fair enough.
 
btw, what a great finish for Mexico on medals today.

I think (and hope) that they'll never remove an historycal sport. Pentathlon is a core sport, he joined at the Olympics in 1912 and he was created by Pierre De Coubertaine for the Olympic Games.

Agree with this! This sport gives so many opportunities for smaller nations and should be expanded. Adding 32 athletes in the grand scheme of things is not a lot. 

Stop being such a smart ass for once, of course, it has. 

It was about time for India.

Wonderful result for Italy.

Best result as of today.

Congrats.

HEEEELLLL YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! 

 
Bronze medal!!!!!!!  WE HAVE A MEDAL!!!!!
For all you that are from countries that usually get a lot of medals, this sounds like overreaction, but Portugal had 23 medals in 23 olympic editions (previous to Rio), so you can do the math and see how much a medal means for my nation!!! Our social media is going crazy!!!

And it's Telma, who's a 5 time EC and always missed the medals on Olympics, so she was the one everyone was really cheering, she totally deserve this!!!!

 
My medal's goal is achieved, from now on it will be (an amazing) bonus!

Day 3 Finals  
Diving - Men's Synchronised 10m Platform
 
Tom Daley
Daniel Goodfellow
 
I don't see them on the podium, there are other strong duos. 4th-5th would be good.
 
Fencing - Women's Individual Sabre
 
no British participation
 
Gymnastics (Artistic) - Men's Team All-Around
 
Brinn Bevan
Louis Smith
Kristian Thomas
Max Whitlock

Things have to go perfect for a medal although they are not chanceless.
 
Judo - Women's -57kg
 
Nekoda Smythe-Davis
 
Filzmoser , Pavia and Matsumoto in her draw so no chance.
 
Judo - Men's -73kg
 
no British participation
 
Rugby Sevens - Women's Tournament

Very strong field, everything is possible from final to 4th. I'm hoping for a medal here after they beat Canada in the group stage.
 
Shooting - Men's 10m Air Rifle
 
no British participation
 
Shooting - Men's Trap
 
Edward Ling
 
Currently in 2nd position but it's a long way to go. He should make it into the final if he keeps calm but you can't predict shooting.
 
Swimming - Women's 100m Breaststroke
 
no British participation
 
Swimming - Women's 100m Backstroke
 
no British participation
 
Swimming - Men's 200m Freestyle
 
James Guy
 
Hasn't been impressive so far so he might end up without medal. On paper he should have a chance for gold even but I think silver would be a good result.

no British participation
 
Weightlifting - Women's -58kg
 
no British participation

optimistic shot on medals 4 reasonable shot on medals 2

Well as a lifter , lifting many years , I can say China was robbed here by judges, Nothing wrong with that 123 kg lift. I have seen many lifts that have been 3 white lights and looked 10x times worse than Li's attempt...

Amazing day for you and Argentina.

Day 1 Finals  
Archery - Men's Team
 
no British participation
 
Cycling - Men's Road Race
 
Steve Cummings
Chris Froome
Ian Stannard
Geraint Thomas
Adam Yates
 
The course is made for climbers apparently so Froome could have a chance if he does something. I wouldn't make predictions for this race though as anything can happen.
 
Fencing - Women's Individual Épée
 
no British participation
 
Judo - Women's -48kg
 
no British participation
 
Judo - Men's -60kg

Should beat Özlü in R32 but will then face the current world champion Smetov in R16. Repechage is possible if Smetov makes it far.
 
Shooting - Women's 10m Air Rifle
 
Jennifer McIntosh
 
I don't know, a better finish than in London (36th) would be nice. No chance for a medal.
 
Shooting - Men's 10m Air Pistol
 
no British participation
 
Swimming - Women's 400m Individual Medley
 
Hannah Miley
Aimee Willmott
 
Both should make the final and Miley could go for silver if things to well. Husszu will be too strong.
 
Swimming - Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay
 
no British participation
 
Swimming - Men's 400m Freestyle
 
James Guy
Stephen Milne
 
Milne should aim for a new PB and Guy is a medal contender if things go well. However, he will face strong competition such as Park , Sun , Horton , Detti , Cochrane and the Americans . Just hope his swimming trunks sit tight.
 
Swimming - Men's 400m Individual Medley
 
Max Litchfield
 
Should qualify for the final.
 
Weightlifting - Women's -48kg
 
no British participation
 
optimistic shot on medals 3 reasonable shot on medals 1

The best and most active national thread here. If the GB thread was half as active as the Indian thread.
 
Good luck to Indian athletes.

Ah, you  said it. Sorry for the confusion.

This group is so boring to watch.

I think we got the message now, it's getting old.
 
Congrats Slovakia.

YES!
