    Use Wikipedia they have brackets etc. for all sports I still can't believe how bad the British sites are Guardian, BBC and the Telegraph are all a giant mess and for some reason have no brackets.

    The problem here is that few sports can be played at the professional level they should in order to actually see resoults.

    You canīt expect our man and women to be at top-5 level when it comes to medals if they donīt train and live sports 100% of the time. I strongly appreciate their effort and sacrifice, but thatīs simply not enough nowadays.

    Every Olimpics itīs the same.
    Our advantage when it comes to Hockey is that we might just have the strongest National Hockey League in the world. The competition breeds excellent players. I don't know how the situation is in Argentina, but if you want stronger teams in team sports, the Argentine NOC should aim to further professionalize and incentivize the Argentine team sports leagues.

    Yup. If I click on "Mens Foil Gold Medal Match" I want to see who's in it. Not a video about Team GB being defeated ages ago.

    Foil= Italy...

    Italy vs Japan.

    BTW the German fencers look like they werenīt fed for ages. The American opponents look absolutely puzzled to how to deal with Ze Germans.

    10-8 in the "Champions Tiebreak" or whatever it's called. Well played by the Belorussians, they seemed to be slightly on top from the start of the second set.

    I have only seen her against the Kas / Lisicki, and she was quite bad. Luckily for the UK team Alexander Kas was a similar the weak point on the german team.
