Tokyo Olympics 2020

No. Katy Marchant was knocked out in the quarter finals. There are 4 ladies left who face off in the semis and final later. (losers of the semis go for bronze, not the losers of the quarter finals :p)
 
One day left and lets hope to pip not-russia in the medals table.

Japans host buff is too strong this year.

No, their entire purpose is to sponsor athletes with the greatest likelihood of being successful. If this was about role models and participation, rowing (c70k regular participants a week and falling) would not be getting £20m in funding for an Olympic cycle. Similarly, I’ve seen first hand how track/road cycling participation has fallen off a cliff because of decisions by British Cycling despite the masses of funding it’s received since 2004.

Read their strategic plan, it literally says “winning and being competitive at the highest level remains the priority”. The rest of their strategy is totally contingent on winning things as a vehicle to inspire people.

Nah, that's a very broad description not the terms and conditions the athlete will sign.

Misconduct and bringing disrepute can get your funding re-examined.

It's entirely possible the boxer was reminded between the podium and his interview where he expressed remorse and wore his medal.

To be fair I'm not sure it was ever going to be a quick race in this heat and humidity - none of the long distance races have been fast this tournament sadly
 
One fact I don't think they've mentioned on TV is that he's won at least 2 medals at 4 consecutive games.

2008 Gold, Silver
2012 2 Gold
2016 3 Gold
2021 Gold, Silver

Unreal.
