You’ve got competition.

refuses to let have anything

@orangeman if it helps, I’m equally baffled by the American tactics at this point

Great final in men’s beach volleyball. That was a fun session of medal matches

Electric comeback for

Quintero is good at the keirin. I’ll give him that

Mr. Brightside doesn’t get the same reception in Santiago as it got in Birmingham last summer

Vilar should be fined for being a dumbass. Okay, maybe not since it really was an accident, but come on dude. Hopefully he learns to be more aware after the race following this. Boone still down on the track after Vilar moves out of the sprint line right into him after they crossed the line

Tropical storm earlier this year must have got TJ relatively good though, or was it just far enough north in San Diego?

Results system keeps having this error where it cuts entries after the first page in doubles event in "individual" sports.

fails to win a medal in men's or women's beach volleyball. They leave with a bronze and half of a silver. Coincidentally, also leaves with a silver medal

For anyone who thought the swimming medal ceremonies disrupted the rhythm of the session, I highly recommended viewing track cycling. It has murdered, buried, and grieved the rhythm of this session

Grimalt’s come away with bronze. I can’t imagine what the atmosphere would have been like had they played for gold.

anthem ahead of the men’s beach volleyball bronze medal match was incredible.

Definitely the best final of the week. too dominant, but with a slightly surprising silver medal. I feel so bad for Bustos

Men's team event is tight for the medals. This could be a great battle in the laser run.

Should Lionel Martínez get selected for Paris 2024, it will be the second longest time between participation at different editions of the Olympics according to our friends over at Olympedia. Hiroshi Hoketsu holds the current record at 44 years @dcro

I really want to set a hard deadline of Saturday at midnight (California time). However, if you can get them in before the draw on Sunday at noon (California time), I will accept them. I can be more forgiving for users from countries with multiple jury members, but since you’re Germany’s only representative, I need you to cast your votes.

Martínez throws away the gold medal with three misses in the final round. However, he does qualify for the Olympic Games. Assuming he’s chosen by Venezuela, it will be only his second appearance at the Olympics after *check notes* Los Angeles 1984 He won his only other medal at the Pan American Games 40 years ago in Caracas.

Men’s Trap Quotas:

Bummed about not making the baseball final. They had a good tournament until the Super Round. It wasn’t so super to them

This is similar to how we celebrated those two days at my religious private schools in California. My primary school would have a mass on All Saints, with each grade level creating a banner for a particular Saint. There would then be a procession behind them at the start of mass. My secondary school (high school) celebrated Día de Los Muertos instead, with a prayer service where students could submit names to be read out and remembered. In years where there was a student/teacher/staff death, it would get very emotional. Edit: As someone not particularly religious, I did find the various celebrations fascinating.

Saw a post in another community, but now I’m curious… What do you guys call the action (normally done by kids/teenagers) where someone knocks on a door and runs away before the person can answer it. In the US, at least in California, this would be called a “ding-dong ditch.”

It looks like all surfing finals will be held on October 30th. Nothing over the weekend due to the weather.

Quintero allowed to wear a white jersey with rainbow stripes for the keirin. Don’t know if I’ve seen that at a multi-sports games before.
