I woke up at 4am to see this and it was totally worth it!

 

GOLD! F***ING GOLD!!  

 

For mostly everyone it’s something normal but you need to realize Portugal, in ALL history of Olympic Games, had (before today) only 4 gold medals! 
 

So this fifth one is a really huge thing 

 

It also sets Tokyo 2020 as the best Olympic Games ever for Portugal: neve before had we managed to get more than three medals at the same edition! 

 

 

And the second Gold medal in the triple jump after Nelson Evora

Greg Rutherford has predicted Holly Bradshaw will win a medal in the pole vault. Hopefully not the kiss of death.

Yeah, really interesting. Maybe they want to share 15 gold medals?

I doubt any 1980’s record will be beaten this decade - even Flo Jo’s that ETH came close to this time.
