Battle seems to be between and for gold in Women’s RS:X

Yeah, I’m pretty sure half the population has been a head of state at one time or another

Jacoby’s goggles popped off, and that basically cost the any chance at a medal. I personally think going with Jacoby in the Breast and Dressel in the Free was the correct choice.

Fun Fact: With officially participating in Athletics at these Olympics, now becomes the only active NOC to have never sent a representative in Athletics to the Olympics.

do it! They’re on to the gold medal match.

The issue for them is actually written news. They might be able to embargo broadcast news, but they can’t really do anything about me getting a news alert on my phone the minute I wake up that says “Biles pulls out of Team Event at Olympics,” or “Suni Lee wins All-Around Competition at Olympics,” or “Rapione scores goal to take US Women into semifinals.” While that might encourage someone to watch the prime time coverage; it might also make them skip watching the Games for day since they already know the outcome. Plus, they might be able to embargo broadcast news from showing footage from an event, but they can’t really stop them from reporting on results, controversies, etc. with generic images or newsflashes/chirons.

Gotta feel for Lin . He had 4 or 5 bronze medal points that he just couldn’t put away. Kudos to Ovtcharov for staying in that match and making it interesting.

Apparently it’s impossible to get DSQ in a relay nowadays… The getting reinstated is a mockery of the sport. I’m sorry, but at the Olympic Games, you should full well know how to find the proper exchange zone on your own. I get that it was likely an honest mistake, and I feel bad for the athlete, but WA shouldn’t be reinstating teams at this level for things like this.

…and they do it. Congrats to Venus/Daniell

What a run! Prskavec takes the gold!

Damn, Smolen just got stuck at that upstream gate. Still, great to see him in the final.
