OT - 2016 Brazil Olympic thread

At least he didn't get bags of urine thrown at him...

The Frenchman, 29, was in tears as he was barracked on the podium on Tuesday.

On Monday, he was booed by the partisan home crowd before his final vault - losing out to home favourite Thiago Braz da Silva in a dramatic final.

Bach said the crowd's behaviour was "unacceptable at the Olympics".

Lavillenie held his head in his hands on the podium and was later consoled by Brazilian gold medallist Da Silva, IAAF president Lord Coe and former Olympic and world pole vault champion Sergey Bubka after the ceremony.

Brooke Henderson currently at 2 under par on her round, leader in the club house sits at 4 under par so Brooke is certainly in the hunt as she is through her first 11 holes.

I'm hearing that may have won wait for it...wait for it...BRONZE! in the team equestrian event.

We're going to a jump-off between Canada and Germany for the bronze medal. Winner gets glory, loser is off to the glue factory.

Another gold for Canada last night. This in the high jump. We have 14 medals now. Wonder if we can get to 20.

20 is a possibility.

This "own the podium" thing is beginning to pay off

And guys and gals. We have alot of young talent(i have seen those RBC commercials).

What does this say for 20/20. Does our vision look much clearer?

Do you guys have some sort of bronze shortage?

I know you all come here for gas and milk, but was there some kind of directive from the PM?

"Something is going on here..."

Brooke Henderson finishes her day at 1-under and sits four shots back of leader Inbee Park. Bit of a roller coaster ride with some double bogeys and eagles on her card, but still in good shape.
