Evans in the final. 
Great performance to beat the world number 1. He showed some great movement and speed. Have to fancy him for gold now.

Those girls were amazing. I knew it'd be tough to beat them, and I even had a feeling the WR would be broken, but I never thought it would be by that much. 6 tenths of a second. Amazing. We did well, but we were outrun today. Congratulations, America.
The men looked really quick, too. I feel that they have a chance of taking it from us.

I think we need to congratulate Croatia waterpolo team for placing in the finals. They really did deserved it (goalkeeper Pavic, Jokovic, Boskovic, Sukno, Buslje, Hinic, Barac...). I admire them how they played against USA, the USA team did not score the goal for 18 minutes!! Same with Montenegro in the semifinals, but 16 minutes!! They are gonna play against the Italians. Almost sure Croatia wins...

Yeh. I'm clueless about diving
It seems like the entry is 90% of the score. Judge that well enough and you'll be within the ballpark, and possibly on your way to becoming a pro judge. 👍

Now that's what I call a fast start. Mexico lead Brazil 1-0.

Hah, wow. That definitely took me by surprise!
We've beaten Brazil a few times in our football history. I hope this will be the case too, though I doubt it. They're the football giants for a reason.
There's much at stake for Mexico in this match. This would be our first ever medal in football, and getting a gold would be just... awesome.

It was only a matter of time that the battle of the gold post boxes would kick off. It's been brewing here for a few days
Ben Ainslie: Lymington gold post box painter arrested
I knew of two others planning to do the exact same thing.
I read in another article that the police were watching him on CCTV painting the box. I guess they were busy because they only turned up just as he finished the job.

They don't look it at the moment. Really poor, Rafael in particular. They did improve slightly towards the end but it was still far too sloppy for a football team looking for their first football gold.

I can't believe the Olympics will be over tomorrow, it's become the norm, and I think everyone will miss it when it goes. What will we watch on TV, what will we talk about?

Personally I'm glad they will be over. It's the only thing people talk about and the only thing on TV at all times. It's overwhelming.
