Both our rowing boats made it to the final races. At least one medal is expected there.

 

Today Korakaki is competing in the 25 m pistol and is doing very well. We can expect a medal here too.

 

Today the swimmers completely bombed out. Looks like after one of them got caught for doping they stopped drinking their "cocktails"

Korakaki qualified to the final and now is facing a German shooter Karsch to decide who will get the gold medal.

Koraraki becomes the first Greek female athlete to win multiple medals in the same Olympics.

She's only 20 and you will be hearing her name many times in future Olympic Games. She's from Drama.

Tomorrow will be a big day for the Men's Greek Water Polo Team when they face Hungary, arguably the toughest team to face in Group A.

In track and field, their could be more potential medalists other than Stefanidi.

Greece 8-8 Hungary (final) in the water polo.

 

We equalised with 5 seconds to go in the match. Next match in 3 days with Brazil then Australia.

 

Standings Group A:

 

Brazil: 4 pts

Greece: 4 pts

Australia: 3 pts

Hungary: 3 pts

Serbia: 2 pts

Japan: 0 pts

 

All teams played 3 matches, except for Serbia and Brazil who play tomorrow. Top 4 get though to round of 8.

Yes there are realistic chances. Iliadis in the judo, men's water polo is going well atm, Stefanidi is a massive chance in the pole vault. Also rowing and gymnastics I have heard but can't remember the names.

 

Iliadis lost today, so no medal for him.

 

I think the only realistic chances we have is Petrounias in gymnastics and maybe 1 or 2 medals in rowing. Stefanidi has a chance in pole vault, but it will be tough. Watched little bit of the water polo game today, and the team looked very good. They might be in the running for a medal, but it will be very tough.

If you guys ask me would Greece ever gets positive results against Serbia and Hungary, I would say, no. This is a nice run so far, still too early to discuss medal contention.

Brazil beat Serbia 6-5, them and Italy are the only teams with a perfect 3-0-0 record. Greece better be ready for the Samba Boys this Friday.

Bad day for Greece last night and today. Brazil defeated Serbia in water polo, and if we don't beat them tomorrow we stand a very good chance of not qualifying to quartefinals of the competition.

 

Also today our two hopes for medals in rowing ended as we only got 4th and 6th place in today's finals. Our third rowing boat failed to qualify from the semifinals, so that means no medals in rowing.

 

The only bright spot today might be Kristian Golomeev in swimming who qualified to the semifinals of 50m Freestyle, with a good chance to make it to the final later today.

In the Men's Two Person Dinghi - 470 Sailing, after 4 races

Field is made up of 26 countries, and there are total of 10 races between 11-16 Aug with points awarded depending on finishing positions (1 point for 1st, 26 points for 26th). Each boat is allowed to discard its worst score, and 10 boats with lowest accumulated scores reach the final on 18 Aug. In the final, points scored are doubled and added to the opening series' scores to determine top 10 positions and medals.

 

Greeks are ranked 4th in the world in this sport.

First we need to beat Brazil tonight (5:30 pm CDT). I'll catch it on the NBC stream. You can watch every single sport live on the NBC stream as long as you receive NBC channels through your cable/satellite provider.

I have been following weightlifting 85 km today, Theodoros Iakovidis scored 350 pts to put himself in 2nd place.

He finished 2nd in the B group of athletes. Group A competition takes place later today. That's where the medals will be decided. Hopefully he will manage to finish in the top 10.
