Wait, the final happens like 10 minutes after the qualification? It's like they don't care about this event at all

Um dia decepcionante, mas me fez lembrar um pouco da Rio 2016, especialmente na primeira semana que parecia que o Brazil teria um desastroso resultado nos Jogos. Na verdade, só conseguimos melhorar a partir do segundo domingo, com as 2 medalhas na ginástica masculina. Naquela ocasião o Taekwondo ainda não tinha ocorrido, e agora já passamos sem medalha por esse esporte. Mas no geral acho que teremos muitas oportunidades a partir de domingo (nesse sábado temos algumas chances no Judô e Tênis, mas não apostaria em nenhuma delas). Comparação do quadro de medalhas após o dia 7:

Dias atrás tinha comentado em outro tópico sobre o aumento de seguidores no Instagram após a conquista de uma medalha. Resolvi pesquisar sobre nossos medalhistas nos Jogos até o momento e para essa tabela estou considerando o ganho de seguidores desde a cerimônia de abertura. Daqueles que (ainda) não foram medalhistas, Douglas Souza do vôlei ganhou mais de 2 milhões desde o início dos Jogos.

A guaranteed medal to save a terrible day for Brazil.

Oh stop crying, Canada has some gold. Mexico only couple of bronzes and tons of 4ths 

I can't.

In this line up with 1 per NOC, definitely is. Not as big as De Gennaro but was among the long shot contenders here.

Eu acho que seria legal ver de atletas que tinham expectativa, e não tiveram sucesso...
 
Como a Pamela Rosa

Gold for and Bronze for ? This must be one of the best events for Totallympics members.

I'm crying
 
Rebeca, you did Brazil proud!

That's what you get for selecting the teams almost 2 years before de actual competition

I was bummed when it turned out that she missed the gold medal with only 0.137 or so. But very happy about the Brazilians winning the medal.
Congrats to you and all Brazilians in this forum! 

I've been waiting 17 years for this moment. I still can't believe this is not a dream, and I can't stop crying.

I've tried my best to look at this competition from a neutral perspective. I have to say I'm surprised with a silver medal for Rebeca. She didn't lose the gold medal; she earned the silver medal. The same can be said about Lee: she won because she hit, not because Rebeca didn't perform her best routine. This is how this sport works and there's a strong mental game going on. Lee was stronger in the mental game and this deserves all the praise in the world. It's not fair to compare Lee to anyone else that came before her. She's the Olympic champion and she deserved it. Period.

Now, Rebeca had an awesome day. Her uneven bars routine was one of the best she has performed in her life and much, much better than the one in qualifications. Her vault and her floor were not the best, but they still received strong scores. That silver medal is a huge accomplishment on itself and given how close the competition was, I'm really surprised Rebeca managed to win it.

I believe Melnikova had a score on floor much higher than she actually deserved. She had several small mistakes that most people can't immediately see, but those who know about how gymnastics is scored can see. Urazova deserved the bronze medal, in my opinion, but it wouldn't have made any difference for Russia overall, so there's not much point in arguing about this. The thing is I've always thought Melnikova is overscored and today it wasn't any different.
 
Anyway, I'm very pleased with the results, of course, and even though this was not a gold medal for Brazil, it was still our first medal. Our national program is miles behind the US and Russian programs, so the fact that we even got a medal at all is mindblowing for me.
