Couldn't have been more onesided ^^
Finally Germany gets it going. Took long enough! Big media news in Germany say indeed, olympic contenders get not enough sponsorship from the state and price money for gold medal is only 20.000€. Maybe that's why we suck this year

It was very one sided, but the GB team made a lot of unforced errors early on, dropping the ball and missing easy passes. They could have done a lot better if they didn't give away possession so many times like that. Once you give it away, it seems to be more or less impossible to get it back from Fiji.

The BBC analyst said that something like 90% of people in Fiji would be watching the game. When you see how important it was to them, and how happy GB were with silver anyway, you really couldn't wish for it to be any other way.

Today is by far the most fun day to watch Judo. Would be even better if someone could challenge Riner though.

lol a dutch heavyweight Judoka just had to face some fat guy from Congo who got to the tournament on a quotum arrangement instead of ranking. 20 seconds and it was over.

Haha yeah some beauties in athletics. If only beach volleyball was a bit more high profile then i could probably list a string of those ladies too but alas i can't watch much of that XD

YES! Second gold medal for Netherlands, they win the light women double 2 rowing! Awesome. Very strong race as well, they were well ahead in the final 25%
Also interesting to see the fans keep the dutch tradition of swimming (partially) naked to the winners of an important race. With the Rio water quality I'd say fuck the tradition lol.

We've got a lot of medals from it in the past it but I'll never be able to see horse dressage as a real sport lol. Nothing says olympic sport more than a waltzing horse /s

What the hell, the English pair won convincingly as expected. They reject the bottles of water and go straight for a bottle of coke after the race. Haha what the xD

According to dutch commentators the mens' 4 rowing should be between GB and AUS, small chance for bronze for Netherlands
And it's clear as well, GB and AUS with a big lead but very close to eachother

Extra intense because GB and AUS have an equal number of golds right now
