Final Standing available here. uk12points Agger Henry_Leon Once again proving to be an expert in this sport, Agger was the winner of the Rio Olympics Cycling contest. Also with a great performance, uk12points and Henry_Leon marked their names in the medal positions. It was probably one of the hardest contests of Rio 2016, hence the high number of tie-breakers (we couldn't even break the tie in two instances), so congrats to everyone who participated!

Final Standing available here. Dunadan Atlantis Pablita It was all about Italy in the Rio 2016 Olympics Athletics contest. The nation managed to get all three spots of the podium, with 5 members among the top 10. Participating for the first (and so far only) time in a prediction contest, Atlantis won with a good advantage over the second place, Dunadan (getting his third silver medal in a Rio contest), and the third place, Pablita. Congrats to the winners! (Mistakes are possible, especially because this is the first contest I post the results. PM me if you have any complaint)

Bernardo Rezende is no longer the coach of Brazil men's team. Renan Dal Zotto, ex-player who got a silver medal in Los Angeles 1984 (alongside teammate Rezende) has been announced as the new coach. It's really the end of an era, since Rezende's teams have won a medal since 1996 (two bronze with the women's team, two gold and two silver with the men's team).

"Wall of Champions" at the Olympic Park. I think this wall will have some modifications sooner or later

Well, Mireia Belmonte alone is better than most teams...

Some brazilian swimmers asked to not go to this, so we're sending a small team with not a lot of chance of medals.

Kinda strange to see Lloyd here since this wasn't really a great year for her.

Today was a very emotional day with the funeral of Chapecoense players. I leave here some of the best illustrations that represent the sentiment in this tragic week...

For Brazil I'm thinking 6 to 12 athletes? (pending on whether we will qualify the Bobsleigh teams or not)

Some of the tributes around the world today:

There's so many people, that this is what the outside of the stadium looks like:

Atlético Nacional has asked CONMEBOL to give the Copa Sudamericana title to Chape. Brazilian teams like Corinthians, Flamengo and Palmeiras are asking CBF to follow some measures in order to relief this tragic news. Among them: free loan of players for the 2017 season and "immunity" in the next three Brazilian championships (meaning they couldn't be relegated to Series B even if they finish among the last four teams). Through social media, clubs and fans are suggesting that people vote for the goalkeeper Danilo as the best player of Brasileirao 2016. Champion Palmeiras (who won the title in a match against Chape just two days ago) wants to play the last match of the championship wearing Chape's jersey. Copa do Brasil final and last round of Brazilian championship have been moved for next week.

Last week, our Whatsapp group with brazilians members from Totallympics was following the Copa Sudamericana semifinal and we were just so happy for Chape. As you said, they are a small team that suddenly were among the best in Brazil. Right now, I wish San Lorenzo could have scored that goal in the last minute.

Devastating.

Player Alan Ruschel the first survivor to arrive at the hospital. Reports saying there's a lot of survivors on site waiting for rescue.

Of those 72 passengers, 48 are Chapecoense players/staff, 21 brazilian journalists and 3 guests. There were also 9 people from the plane crew which brings the total to 81. A colombian radio station is saying there are 2 deaths confirmed, but I'm gonna wait for official news.

Many conflicting reports, but nothing official so far. I'm so nervous, hoping for the best.

Plane carrying Brazilian football team Chapecoense crashes in Colombia. I can't sleep with these news.
