France-Sweden in Semifinal Handball at 10.00 tomorrow - the match start moved back in time. 🇨🇵 🇸🇪
Canada-Sweden in Final Football at 14.00 tomorrow - the match start moved forward in time. 🇨🇦 🇸🇪
Not an excessive daytime heat then and no tv collision. I wonder how the Swedish Ladies managed to persuade the arrangement to be changed like that.
🤠

50km walking race on right now. Always makes me piss how they mince along 😂😂 My absolute favourite Olympic event each time. Appreciate that it’s well hard to do, but funny nonetheless. Love the deathmarch.

50km walking race on right now. Always makes me piss how they mince along 😂😂 Well yes, but on what channel do you watch it? Here in Sweden it's on Kanal 9 and "Direkt" (=Live), it says. Weirdest thing though, on our text-tv they've written our contender Perseus Karlström was 1 min 24 secs behind the winner. So it must be a replay, with the text "Direkt" on the screen left.

The female Chinese platform divers were phenomenal. The gold medalist, Quan Hongchan, is only 14 years old. She scored 24 perfect 10s out of 35 and broke an Olympic record. The silver medalist, Chen Yuxi, is only 15. She was very very good too. From the first round, everyone else was battling for bronze.
China has now won 16 out of 16 gold medals in women's diving in the last 4 Olympics.
They're like a diving factory. The gold medalist from Rio, who was 15 at the time, is already yesterday's news. By the Paris games, today's young divers may have aged out.

The collateral damage is enormous.

Bloody referees in the handball semi between France and Sweden.
The french girl should have been sent off with a few mins left and then France got a penalty that noone understood why.
29-27
Should have been 28-28 again, just like in the group stage.
Bastards! 😠

After watching the British girls win hockey bronze last night-I was then forced to follow the Women's beach volleyball final.
It was torture.
