I just wish they could have done something different for the Paralympic logo instead of using the same...
 

Netflix's Unbelievable is unbelievably good.
 

I love Paris' logo. This is pure genius.

Tokyo's is one of the worst I've seen in my life. The original stolen logo was even worse.

Finally an Olympic logo I like.
 

So, it's not too clear his intention. He said: I'm black with pride, and I was champion inside of the home of those racists from Bulgaria. For me, he was quoting those guys on football, and not the country and its people.

Teams that will represent Brazil in Tokyo:
 
Men's: Alison/Álvaro Filho and Evandro/Bruno Schmidt
Women's: Ágatha/Duda and Ana Patrícia/Rebecca
 
In Men's, 3/4 athletes that were in Rio will return do the Games (Álvaro is the only one who didn't participate previously). Current champions Alison and Bruno are back, although in different teams. In Women's, only Ágatha (silver in Rio) is an olympic athlete. Curiously enough, she was "rejected" by her partner Barbara who allegedly thought Ágatha would be too old to play in Tokyo. Likewise, Evandro was rejected by his partner André after the World title in 2017, because André thought he would stand a better chance of Olympic qualification with another player. Now both Barbara and André will watch the Olympics at home
 
 

According his new post on Facebook Pita from  will try qualify in both canoeing and taekwondo!

Well, it's been ages since @vinipereira won a medal in prediction contests, let alone a gold one. He finally gets a reward for all the logos he's been making for our contest  Congratulation on great picking in one of the very unpredictable contests (minus Simone Biles ) Well done!
Shocking news, @Dunadan wins "only" silver this time  Got beaten by one point, but nevertheless, congratulation on new silver medal  
@George_D is on a roll, I already lost count of his medals this season. Very good picking! Congrats on another bronze medal  
I would like to thank @thiago_simoes on his help in this contest preparation.  
 
Thank you all who participated!
Let's finish rugby and take a little break before Tennis Finals start. 

After Flávia was robbed of a medal, Nory is world champion. Nice.  

Gold for Brazil !!! @thiago_simoes @vinipereira . Great swim from her. She lead the entire 5km I’m pretty sure. She only came under pressure around the 4km mark, but then she pulled away again.

Becky is Rebecca
 

So far all the 9 medallists in the men's apparatus finals are from different nations.
 

And two of them are the same person!

Miss Carey was so overscored in that second vault
 

Guys why you always have to fall in stupid trap ?

Titãs - Epitáfio
 
English lyrics translation:
 
 

She just won gold at the World Championships of Athletics.  What have you done this week?

I agree.
 
This modern idea that skinny = healthy has really done damage to so many lives in our society.  I've lived in East Asia where the majority of people are very skinny.  And if you ask many of them to help you move a 20 lbs desk they'll faint from exhaustion.  Not to mention the mental health damage they endure from endless ridicule if they eat more than 3 bites at dinner.  There are healthy and unhealthy people of all sizes.  I'm always amazed at the concern some people suddenly have for the health of strangers, especially women.  But let's be real here, it has nothing to do with health and everything to do with hate, discrimination and selfishness.  If it were about health, these people would care equally about steroid abuse, smoking, drinking and mental well-being (and thus wouldn't be so mean to strangers).  
 
Not that it should matter, but she lost 50 lbs over the last year.  Again, if people actually cared about her health they would know that and be celebrating her progress rather than attacking her.  But as I said, the hatred has nothing to do with concern for her health.  
 
In any event, DeAnna Price was on the American softball team, played 4 sports at the elite level in college and just won a gold at the highest level.  Meanwhile some troll on the internet who probably struggles to scratch his own ass is trying to attack her because she doesn't fit his fantasy of the perfect woman.  Who is the winner and who is the loser in this situation?  

It is with great sadness that I share the news that our dear friend Rodrigo Huk (@hukbrazil) has passed away at the age of 25.
 
As a young journalist, he worked for the website Surto Olímpico at the 2016 Rio Olympics, being one of the Totallympics members to attend those Games. An extremely humble and sensible guy, he was beloved and admired by the members of our brazilian sports group, leaving great memories for everyone who knew him. Huk will be greatly missed.
 
 

Honestly I don't enjoy many routines today because of that (not only in groups, but individual too). It's just skill after skill after skill, and many times they have nothing to do with the music (or aren't even remotely synched).
 

Proving once again that artistry means very little for this sport (even more now).
 

I'm glad the Czech team managed to finish in 3rd place, against Israel(ish conveniently Jewish Americans), (Caribbean) Netherlands, Jersey Shore (aka Italy) and (Former) Spain('s Colonial Empire).

So Japan will probably get their first Olympic medal in rhythmic gymnastics in Tokyo.
 
This reminds me when China got their first ever medal (and, to date, the only one) in rhythmics at the Beijing Olympics, in one of the most controversial results of this sport. It was the last day of the Games, and in order to China to achieve 100 medals in the table, a medal for the team all-around was required. At the time, there were many comments saying that the judges felt so pressured (to say the least) that they gave China the silver, denying Italy (which ended 4th) a medal, even though they had an iconic routine (below) - which is one of the most memorable of all time IMO.
 
Italy won silver in the World Championships prior to the Games while China was 9th, improving over 2 points in each routine for the Olympic Games. After the Olympics scandal, Italy went to win gold at the 2009 Worlds (reparations?), while strangely enough China didn't even participate. They never again reached the Olympics/Worlds podium.
 

 

Tonight a minute's silence was held before the Series B match between Operario and Ponte Preta in tribute to Rodrigo. Huk's team won 2-1.
