I don't understand the rules in deep, but you can clearly see in the video that she didn't grab the leg, her hands were in the opponent's arm throughout the entire move. I don't think we're having any "home advantage" in Judo, but of course I expect people to put every brazilian medal under question.

Two defeats for Brazil already = disaster. Not looking good for Men's Beach Volleyball and Football.

There was a heavy presence of fans from both teams, I was surprised (plus some americans from the previous match). In the end, I think most people were amazed by how Canada managed to win this match. Soon after, canadian fans went to Rugby finals nearby (I was there too). Overall, a incredible day for these fans

I'm at the Youth Arena, the most beautiful arena I've been so far. Amazing atmosphere, heavy presence of canadian and (especially) Serbian fans. Brazilians just here to watch a great match.

Yes, I agree. Let's keep Olympics to european nations, USA and (maybe) Australia, clearly the only civilized countries in the world.

I hope so, but I won't hold my breath. Brazil not winning a bronze medal so far is disappointing. Judo and the Beach Volleyball defeat are the worst for Brazil so far.

Absolute disaster for Brazil. For me, the downside of our nation at these Games.

Brazil men's team: disaster Brazil women's team: heaven At this moment, I think we won't even win a medal in the Men's tournament, let alone gold. In Women's, a medal is possible.

As much as I like Totallympics, is a little hard to have time to visit this forum with all of the things the Olympic Games has to offer (for instance, is 3AM here now, and I'm only knowing about some medalists now - congrats Argentina!). But I plan to share some things about about my experiences, so here's a little bit of what happened this weekend. I arrived in Rio at Saturday morning and soon after lunch I went to the Deodoro Olympic Park, which takes forever from the apartment I'm at. For instance, from the first Deodoro access to the Shooting Center, you have to walk for about 30 minutes. Fortunately, I arrived at the venue few minutes before the 10m Air Pistol medal, which gave Brazil the first medal of these Olympic Games. It was an absolutely amazing moment and it was great to be there. Felipe Wu Soon after, I went to the Field Hockey Center with tickets for a session that brought two exciting matches. First one was Argentina vs USA in Women's. There was fans from both teams, but I have to say that argentines really "invaded" Rio, they're everywhere! Very passionate fans, even in defeat. Next match was the first ever Brazilian Hockey men's team match in the history of Olympics and man... they're just not good. That didn't stop the brazilian fans (me included), that cheered every defense of our guys In the return for home at the train, argentine fans singing all the way - some healthy rivalry with brazilians, all in good fun. Saturday was a great first day but incredibly tiresome (as I have predicted), so on Sunday I slept a little more than I should. I had tickets for Tennis in the Olympic Park starting at 10AM, but I went only after lunch. Park is huge (as one may expect) and you have a lot to do there beside the sport events. I had no idea about the schedule so it was surprising that, by the end of the day, I had seen matches of three Tennis super stars (an two of them lost). First match was Nadal vs Delbonis, dominance from the spanish. After that it was time for Teliana Pereira but I decided to see what was happening in the secondary courts and went to the Makarova vs Buyukakcay match because I like the russian, but somehow I ended up rooting for the turkish like pretty much everyone, including her coach beside us. After Makarova's win, I went back to Court 1 and Pereira already had lost For the night, two Doubles matches. First the Williams sisters vs Safarova/Strycova. Ecstatic to see Serena (again, I had no idea about the schedule). Lots of czech coaches/athletes (? - they were wearing the official uniforms), that were very happy with their win. Ready to go home, I hear there was going to be another Doubles match, now with Bellucci/Sá vs the Murrays. Aside from the Shooting medal, this was probably my favourite moment so far. Amazing atmosphere in the arena, brazilian joy. Transportation/access perfect, much easier than Deodoro - for which I will return this Monday afternoon for Basketball/Rugby competitions.

Currently at field 2 surrounded by VERY passionate argentine fans

I wasn't the greatest ceremony ever, but I'm proud of what we presented to the world and, more importantly, I'm proud to be brazilian. Now, let the games begin!

Thank you! And of course I will

A lot of people are expecting the other cauldron to be lit. Shame many people won't see this moment (on TV).

Just a few hours to catch a flight to Rio and man... this will be the most tiresome day ever. But I'm ready

"Eu sou brasileiro, com muito orgulho, com muito amoooor"
