Quasit 849 Posted August 8, 2021 #293 Share Posted August 8, 2021 In the end, it was Day 3 that has cost China the top spot with losses in diving, table tennis and weightlifting (which also prevented sweeps in all of those sports). Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,037 Posted August 8, 2021 #294 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Best position ever for at the medal table (12th). Hoping for a record also at the Paralympics but it will be difficult (7th in 2012 is our best). Styrka and konig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagyarBabu 86 Posted August 8, 2021 #296 Share Posted August 8, 2021 backs to 20 total medals since 1996 6 gold is fine, I had predicted 8 but 7 is what I really expected (one more gold from Hosszú/Men's Finn/Siklósi in Epee/Men's Team Sabre/W K2-500/Open Water), so a little bit disappointing. I've to say, I think we had a good team this year, far better than Rio. These are 20 clean medals without overperformances, without surprise medals and with 14 (!!!) 4th places. konig and Styrka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted August 8, 2021 #297 Share Posted August 8, 2021 2 golds and 2 bronze for Ireland, I am over the moon with that. I hoped for 4-5 medals and one gold so definitely met my wish. And we left a few medals out there too which bodes well too since we definitely didn’t have a perfect Games.

I don't think China have ever had a clean sweep in diving. They always fail to win 1-2 of the events. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickyc707 305 Posted August 8, 2021 #299 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The only remaining thing to be decided among the top ten countries is whether France can overtake Germany and Italy to finish 8th by winning the women's handball final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,558 Posted August 8, 2021 #300 Share Posted August 8, 2021 We lost the gold medal race 38-39 on the last day. A little bit sad but still quite excited when you engaged in this full process. It's an almost perfect OG for us with 38 golds and 88 medals with some breakthrough and some unexpected losses. But it's the beauty of sport and Olympics. Start to looking forward to Paris 2024 now. opruh, konig and Quasit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
