It’s the best 3 overall. Not the best 3 per event 
 
For example Irelands Susan Barry hasn’t counted before today but she’s in our top 3 now and her score of 46.4 includes her dressage and cross country penalties 

It increases in difficulty. 5* dressage has more flying changes (4), stretch circle in canter, more difficult transitions.

3* dressage, for example, has no flying changes at all, which are often where mistakes happen and the low scores come in.

Czech Sykora 3 fouls in the Decathlon shot put, how you can have 3 fouls in shot put is just beyond me. Just throw that ball and have some points for any mark..

Performance rating. A 4 to 5.
 
It wasn't all bad, but it was below expectations. Particularly in the last couple of days, canoe sprint and track cycling especially were a big disappointment.
 
And nope, the goal was not achieved.
 
Biggest surprise was silver for race walker Jonathan Hilbert. I guess gold for Alexander Zverev in tennis was a surprise as well. The medal itself not so much, but that it was the gold medal.
 
Biggest heartbreak was decathletes Niklas Kaul's injury in high jump. I'm still not really over it and I'm sure he would have won a medal. Biggest disappointments were Oliver Zeidler in rowing and Johannes Vetter in javelin.

Man, this was frustrating.

This is my favourite result of the Games so far. Both great and hilarious.
