France scores 42 goals against Bahrain: never a squad scores so many goal in the knockout stage of the men's Olympic tournament.

Gold for Mihambo! Good. I couldn't really stand another gold for Reese
 
5 seconds until @OlympicsFan comes in to tell us how Mihambo is on doping and totally fluked it!

Disgusting result in the women's long jump. That German is clearly doping. 
 
/s

what a czech javelin flop today with Špotáková and Ogrodníková completely messed up
 
Volko completely out of form, unbelievable to lost all form right at the most important event you was looking for the whole last 5 years

If only Matsenjwa was American and not from Eswantini... 

Wow, the Italians starting strong in the men's triple

After Day 10 Rio: 176/306 events, 71 NOCs with medals
After Day 10 Tokyo: 199/339 events, 80 NOCs with medals
 
 
At this point into the games you needed 6 golds to enter the Top 10 in Rio while 5 are still enough in Tokyo for the moment; 2 golds for Top 15 in Rio, compared to at least 3 in this edition. However, more nations have managed to win at least one gold so far (49 in Rio).
 
Day 10 was huge for  China. Despite the two lost finals in badminton, it has still been their most successful day so far with 5 golds, 11 medals altogether. There is a bit of a gap to the  US now. Seeing as not everything is working for the Americans, there is a chance for the Chinese to top the medal table. None of the other teams are likely to interfere with the battle of those two.
 
 Italy the furthest behind (8-9-6 in Rio) compared to Rio while  Japan (7-4-16 in Rio) and  Australia (6-7-9) are doing very well at the moment.
 
 Denmark,  Norway and  Sweden combined are lacking some medals (17 in Rio) but have improved in golds (2 in Rio). More to come too.
 
Most successful games for Ecuador, could finish higher than Colombia and Venezuela. 
 
 Kenya have begun medalling but they might fall short of their performance last time (2-3-0 in Rio).  Cuban fans will be relieved as wrestling and boxing will save them (2-1-4 in Rio).
 
Countries with more than one medal after Day 10 in Rio that have not won a medal here yet (aside from absent  North Korea):  Bahrain (1-1-0 in Rio),  Vietnam (1-1-0) and  Lithuania (0-2-1)

That would be cool, since it's still a little dark when the 50k starts I think?  

Whatever you think about the rules, Hubbard did nothing wrong. She followed all the rules as they exist. If you disagree with those rules your ire should not be towards her.

I'm sure most people here will be overjoyed, but I'm actually heartbroken. I never wished her to win a medal, but I wanted her to have a good performance and keep her chin up. Of course she must have been through lots of verbal abuse to get to this point, and this makes one's mind crumble. Transgender people are attacked on a daily basis and their very existence is always threatened. Being a transgender athlete competing at the Olympics for the first time and receiving so much backlash of course must have had a big impact on her mental toughness. 

Do you ever have anything nice to say about anyone, ever? Serious question.
 
Also Tentoglou not only had WL but before the 6th jump, this was his worst competition of the entire season and even that shows how good he is to have been 5th at that point. Yes it wasn't such a strong final and some others were injured, but also 8.41 is the longest jump in an Olympic final since 2004, and here we had not one but TWO medalists jump 8.41m. Also prior to Tokyo, Tentoglou had the two biggest jumps in the world this year (8.60 and 8.48).
 
So if you consider this to be a "very sad result" then what do you think about the men's long jump finals in Beijing, London, Rio? 8.41 there would've won gold too.

Tentoglou for the gold! 

We're underway  
 
Apparently Kristina Vogel, nowadays sadly paraplegic after her crash, is doing commentary for German TV, that's cool. Nice that she seems to be doing well nowadays, considering the circumstances.

Tentoglou for the gold! 

Tentoglou 

But she qualified despite the crash

Dopo 13 anni l'atletica italiana torna a vincere l'oro  gli ori alle olimpiadi:
 
Jacobs  100m (con record europeo 9.80!!!!!!!!) e Tamberi salto in alto (con "pareggio": oro anche a Barshim)
  MAI visto nulla di simile prima!!
>>>>>1 agosto giornata italiana dell'atletica <<<<<<<<
 
Sempre nell'atletica Alessandro Sibilio vola nella finale dei 400 ostacoli, Luminosa Bogliolo (100hs) fa il record italiano, correndo in 12.75, Sara Fantini (Martello) entra nella finale.
In finale anche Daisy Osakue (Disco) eguagliato il primato italiano 63,66 e Nadia Battocletti (5000m)
 
Che riscatto per l'atletica italiana!

It's Amazing see Marcell and Gianmarco hug together. Thanks guys, i will never forget this day

Well, I guess it was a lucky draw

Too bad they didn't ask if they can share 7 bronze medals.  

CBC has captioned the discution that lead to the tie (tweet link, requires a VPN: https://twitter.com/CBCOlympics/status/1421848198797213705?s=20 )
 
O is the official, B is Barshim.
 
B: Wait, wait, wait.
O: They spoke to me.
B: Yes?
O: It's too tight. We can continue with the jump-off.
B: Can we have two gold?
O: It's possible. It depends if you decide...
B: History, my friend.
O: ...if you both decide on...
B: Olympic champions!
*they hug*
B: It's over.

Jacobs became a full time 100m runner only a couple years ago, he used to be a long jumper. The sudden improvement isn't that shocking given that context.

QFs draw done...
