I'll give you Russia on a tecnhicality, though they are there in all but name. North Korea and the Vatican were the two I was thinking of.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Imagine if the Vatican sent a team.

they'd go alright in the mental gymnastics

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lmao

Would struggle to comply with uniform requirements in beach volleyball.

Thanks goodness.

Hoping Jess Fox nabs a gold here. Certainly deserves it.

mountains represent!!

can confirm what @dontcloseyoureyes said before about the quality of that womens 4x200m free and the awesome effort from the chinese team, and really all of the top 3. was great to watch tbh, and when it became apparent aus was locked in for bronze at the end i was riding china home, given they're not the yanks - was such a top finish

 

[Shady Slim]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Burgey]

What a moment for Fox's old man, who's commentating for Seven and has been ridiculously cool and impartial in the way he's called it.

 

[Athlai]

Fox is both a top athlete and an absolute stunner. Such striking eyes.

Seeing Fox get a gold at her third Olympics after falling short three times before gives me hope Mitch Moses can get Parra across the line in a GF.

Or Ross Taylor finally winning an ICC tournament last month after so many campaigns without getting the chocolates.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, nah. That didn't really cross my mind tbh.

 

[Line and Length]

Well done Jess Fox. The sport is very much in her genes with father representing Great Britain and mother winning bronze for France in the event at previous Olympics.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Venus and Daniell lost their semi to Cilic and Dodig in straight sets 6-2 6-2. Don't know when the bronze medal match is on.

Host countries pretty much always get a competitive boost in their Games but even by those standards, this has been an unreal first week for Japan.

Schooling must be one of the the biggest frauds in Olympic history

Calling complete bs on his Rio win

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Atrocious start by the Black Ferns against GB but good fight back.

They've won a number of medals in new events in these games haven't they?

It's mostly judo but with a sprinkling of others, which seemingly is underrated as an Olympic medal farm. But for comparison at Rio they won 3 judo golds as part of 12 total.

Japan winning judo at home, well I never
