Nyika into the SF so guaranteed a medal.
How does that work? He could come 4th?
Both losers get a bronze.
Oh there is not a fight for bronze, that's crap.
It's compensation for getting beaten up and losing. Always been the way
I donlt think the Olympics is the place for participation awards.
But then again it's got ribbon dancing so what the fuck do I know?
It might be the case with all the fighting sports? Is there 3/4 fights for judo, Taekwondo or karate?

I thought it was 5 sets like normal tennis! but its over!
Doubles is never 5 sets, only men’s grand slam matches are 5 sets.
Great win. An unexpected medal for sure.

Insert your own small Cox joke
I thought the weightlifter was the first trans?
The cox in the men's 8 is a woman, the cox in the women's 8 is a man. What gives?
Makes for an interesting story for him about how he won silver in women's rowing.

Cue the, why is a man telling women what to do, outrage…
I actually still can’t believe we won silver and gold in the 8’s. Phenomenal effort.

That is an awesome result!
When it comes to under-rated sportspeople - for the Halbergs and stuff - Michael Venus is right up there.
Dominant performance by him, especially.
