Kimberly Garcia won the women's 20km Race Walk with a WR time of 1:12:26. In fact, 12 athletes did better than the previous world record...

Except that the was a mistake in the course and they didn't actually walk for 20km  They'll correct for the men's race, which was postponed by 1 hour.

I don't follow tennis much, is it normal for matches that may have the same athletes competing to be played in sequence?

 

Like Marcelo Demoliner, he was competing in the men's doubles final and shortly afterwards he was back to compete in the mixed doubles final.

The scheudle here was really very tight. Even at the Olympics they usually give it a day of rest between semifinals and finals, sometimes two days.

Ótimo dia para o Brasil com seis ouros e finalmente passou minha previsão inicial (26 conta 25 da previsão).

Amanhã um dia bem decisivo no qual previ 7 ouros (2 da Canoagem Slalom e 1 em cada esporte: Atletismo, Basquete, Handebol, Judô e Maratona Aquática). Ainda temos uma final do Tênis, mas acho que a Laura Pigossi deve estar exausta.

 Yuliana Lizarazo/Nicolas Barrientos wins the XD gold medal. Brazilian team too tired after just having played other matches today.

As has been the case since 2011, and will decide the Olympic quota.

Handball match abandoned due to…rain?

Brazil was leading 30-10 so I guess there was no point in continuing, but still there was 16 minutes to play. Pretty bad for an Olympic qualifier...

Gustavo Heide/Marcelo Demoliner won the MD gold medal, spoiling the Chilean party in which could very well be a very heated Davis Cup match.  last chance for a gold medal here will be tomorrow, again with Barrios.

Nice win for Heide after losing the men's singles semifinal (and the Olympic quota).

At least they use religion as an excuse. If it wasn't for boxing inflating Friday, the last three days would have 9, 11 and 9 medals respectively.

I'm not complaining because Brazil did better in the days with less medal events 

I think there will be 22 medal events tomorrow, which still isn't that much but definitely more exciting than the past three days.

First gold medal (WD) goes to Laura Pigossi/Luisa Stefani.

Pigossi played a singles match (all going to third set) and a doubles for the past three days. Just today she played for about 5 hours 

 sadly destroying in Baseball. Guess silver is good enough for us...

Exato, acho que o Pentatlo pode crescer sem o Hipismo. Nada contra o esporte Hipismo, mas acho que não encaixa mais dentro do Pentatlo. Até porque encarece a modalidade e dificulta ainda mais a entrada.

 

Só que aquele American Ninja Warrior que eles criaram não é exatamente uma solução hahah

 

Quanto ao Ciclismo é querer trabalhar a modalidade. Temos uma das melhores arenas do mundo, e não conseguimos ter nem presença em todos os eventos. Acredito que deva ser um esporte bastante caro, mas é questão de trabalhar pra ajustar isso

Aquela arena parece ser usada para todo tipo de coisa menos Ciclismo de Pista né

E minha sugestão seria o Pentatlo só com 4 modalidades  Porque aquele negócio de obstáculos é bem ruim mesmo.

O legado do Rio para o Ciclismo de Pista foi zero né? Não parece que há interesse algum por essa modalidade. Ciclismo até agora só decepção tirando os dois bronzes do MTB. O Tiro foi outro esporte com desempenho horroroso aqui, ao menos ganhou um sofrido bronze para não passar em branco.

Quanto ao Pentatlo, Brasil poderia ter ganhado medalhas nos revezamentos não fossem eliminações no hipismo. Um esporte que depende mais de sorte do que competência não deveria estar no programa olímpico. Peguei ranço sim 

Um ótimo dia para o Brasil, finalmente com um esporte que superou a expectativa de ouros (previ 2 para o Boxe, ganharam 4), além de outro que correspondeu às previsões (Vôlei de Praia com 2 ouros, algo que era até arriscado não acontecer). Com isso compensamos 2 dos 4 ouros perdidos em outros esportes.

Amanhã começa o Judô e espero uma campanha decente do Brasil. Finais do Baseball e Tênis também podem trazer alguma dourada.

Boxing is ridiculous. Brazil has just been robbed... There is no way the Cuban won that, he was obliterated in the last round and won 4-1. 

As someone posted on X yesterday: "first you work for your name, then your name works for you"...

Not a great start of the day for Brazil. Both Michael Trindade (-51kg) and Abner Teixeira (-92kg) w/o due to injuries. Gold for  and .

The other two male fighters will face Cuban athletes, so no chance for gold...
