So USA is just not caring about these second round matches anymore, right?

So Poland is 90% qualified, right? I can't see them losing to Germany.

BRAZIL "A VISITA" The Visit Silva

Netherlands took some inspiration from Poland, and in the end still got 1 point. Match vs Brazil tomorrow should be interesting. Now I'm mostly waiting Italy vs China on Saturday, this match will probably define the QF.

@thiago_simoes some comments on the women's gymnastics competition?

Finally some success for Brazil in Fencing with two team golds tonight.

In 2018 we lost both Men's 4x100 relays but we had a youth team then. Now Brazil had mostly the best athletes available (except for Olympic medalists Fratus and Scheffer), although many people think it would be better to send younger athletes to gain experience.

Yeah, and the number also includes 5 Relay medals. A great feat, nonetheless.

Swimmer Giovanna Diamante won 10 medals here (8 gold, 2 silver), which makes her the biggest medalist ever in a single edition.

Brazil won 58 medals in Swimming (34 gold medals out of 42 events) Now that Swimming is over, in the next days I expect Colombia to get closer to Brazil in the medal count.

Imagine if USA faces Serbia in QF, that would be interesting. But I think they still can win vs Turkey and face an "easier" opponent later. had everything to achieve a historic result but now will probably lose all matches of second round

At Brazil's headquarters in Asunción there's a big medal count. Each day (usually at night) there's a celebration where the medalists are presented and the count is updated.

Some time today Colombia tied Brazil in golds (20) only to Brazil win +12 more in the next hours (mostly from Swimming, of course). This schedule is packed!

Not only QF, but also SF I think, meaning we'll only have different matches in final/3rd place.

goes 1-2-3 in women's Triathlon.

Predictions for the second round: Pool E: Pool F: Although I won't be surprised if Belgium qualifies.

Eder Jofre (Boxing, age 86), Olympian in 1956 and World Champion.

A gold for Brazil in Weightlifting that is not from Fernando Reis (retired) Hopefully Thiago Felix has a great future.

Wow, Serbia absolutely demolished the americans

Weird choice to have the Opening Ceremony at saturday, instead of using today as the first day of competition. Anyway, Nathalie Moellhausen (Fencing) and Guilherme "Big Dog" Costa (Swimming) will be our flagbearers.

Japan being eliminated is kinda surprising but the groups were ridiculously unbalanced. Maybe even Mali could win a match in Group A.
