yude Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 17 時間前, Sayu93さんが言いました: Still flashed by yesterdays table tennis mens halffinal between Japan and Germany. Damn.. everyone played so well..Timo Dima Patrick Jun Tomokazu Kouki thank you for that match That was a long match, Germany was great team! I was glad for Harimoto-kun played so well after losing in Singles. Today Japan won bronze medal, I think Jun Mizutani will announce his retirement soon (he has bad eyes and started wearing goggles after having surgery) but he has done so much for Japan's table tennis for years. edited: Mizutani says he will retire from international competition, so he may keep playing within the country.

Paskud Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Women race walking was so dramatic! Lady from Brazil was fighting against lady from Venezuela for silver medal, but got warning right before finish, had to wait 2 minutes and ended 11th.😯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yude Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It started 5:30 in the morning but still 11 walkers withdrew during the race. Race walking and marathon moved to Hokkaido from Tokyo but sadly it became almost the same temperature. I have much respect for all participants and pray for lower temperature for the last two days.

sallycinnamon Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 We've got another two medals, one is modern pentathlon, and the other one in karate. I am happy that Hárspataki was able to get a medal at karate which is a new sport at this Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sombreuil Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 BBC really irritating with their highlights coverage - pathetic jokey section on beach volleyball totally ignoring the ‘dress code’ controversy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hungary has won gold in women K4 (kayak) 500 m 😊 I am very happy for them, especially Danuta Kozák who came back from two very serious injuries to compete here and she was disappointed after her results in K1 and K2 at this Olympics. She is now a 6-time Olympic champion and the most successful female Olympian of my country. Belarus became 2nd and Poland 3rd, New Zealand is 4th - so Lisa Carrington couldn't stand on the podium but she already won 3 golds at this Games, which is big, congrats to her. Congratulations to Germany on winning in the men's K4 500 m. Congratulations to Quieroz for winning gold in C1! ...and to China in women C2.

yude Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Argentina beat Brazil I can't remember when the last time Brazil didn't get medal, congrats to Argentina! TV didn't show this game, but I've heard it was a really good game. Speaking of a surprise, Japanese women's basketball will face USA at final tomorrow. We were happy when they made a history with being qualified for semi-final, but I mean, THE FINAL. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 I'm watching rhythmic gymnastics and it's the final rotation now (ribbon). To a suprise Linoy Ashram from Israel is leading and three-time all-around world champion Dina Averina is second by a point, her twin sister Arina is third. Arina had to use the spare ribbon because on the original one there was a knot, and now it is even possible she won't even medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to wake up for this one but the bed was just too comfy so I ended up finding out about the result shortly after the match had finished. So happy for the boys, they've shown so much heart through the tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 A shocker. Russians are not leading in rhythmic gymnastics? Is the world going to the dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Linoy made a mistake and dropped the rippon but she still got a quite high score. She may still win it, but if Dina makes a perfect routine it'll be very interesting to see who wins, it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallycinnamon Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Linoy Ashram is the Olympic champion, Dina Averina is second by 0.15 point - after the scores came up the Russian federation filed an inquiry, which was rejected. Wow, it is a huge surprise, I wonder what Irina Viner and Russian media will say about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I am just gobsmacked by what happened. Are the judges sick and tired of Viner’s empire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
