What was the reaction in Iran after the weightlifting choke? It was heartbreaking to see him cry and his coach yelling at him.

Expecting the same Freeza, Maybe one or two lesser than you.

He didn't choke though, correctly lifted the weight for two times but the jury nullified referee's vote.

I meant 14-15 medals, But since ive confused you, I should come out clean.

One medal today , Match in 12 hours. Other than that got a golfer in top 5 women and 3 male wrestlers left. That's it.

3 would be realistic.

Nah, those lifts weren't correct. The first one could have a case, but the second one was clearly a fault. He didn't stretch his elbows, that's a foul.

Brazil really have the worst crowds in the world. All this jeering is despicable. It's not what the Olympics are about.

Yeah but there were lots of similar cases from other weight lifters in which referees were lenient but they decided to play hard ball with him.

Well, that I can agree on. In any cases. There was no touching that gold. That Georgian guy... my god.

Turns out Denmark has the most medals per citizen in Europe. Only New Zealand and Jamaica are better worldwide.

I don't 80% of people don't how big of an achievement it is to qualify for the Olympics let alone win a gold medal.

by Nishankly Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:04 pm

Its time lads.

by Freeza Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:23 pm

Lin Dan lost his first evern Olympic game today. Great achievement from Lee Chong Wei.

Axelsen had no chance against Chen Long. He's got an amazing defensive game. Nothing to do.

by S Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:34 pm

Sindhu takes first set

What a comeback !!!

by Glory Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:37 pm

Yea the girl's got nerves of steel. Shocked

She's shouldering a billion people's expectations and to come back in that manner that too against world no.1 deserves a lot of praise actually. Feeling somewhat confident now honestly. Smile

Wow Marin is wiping the floor in the 2nd set

by S Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:42 pm

That was some destruction job

by LeBéninois Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:45 pm

Gutted for that british guy who finished 4th in the 200m final. He run the 200m in 20.12 , same time as the 3rd (the french) . the number 5 was 20.13. Crazy stuff.

by Glory Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:57 pm

Well, false hopes I guess. Sad

by S Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:58 pm

1-1

Match down to the final set.

Guess Marin has the edge. Absolutely destroyed Sindhu in the 2nd set.

by Nishankly Fri Aug 19, 2016 4:04 pm

Marin is unreal, She needs to cut out the barking though.

by S Fri Aug 19, 2016 4:31 pm

Great fight by Sindhu. This is still a Historical achievement.

Only 21. She has a bright future ahead.

by Nishankly Fri Aug 19, 2016 4:32 pm

Silver in Badminton, Pursala Sindhu has made us all proud. Hopefully kids choose badminton now she's younger than me ffs
