Antaeus7 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I figured it wasn't a medal round, more of a "heat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 In the Women's Triple High Jump, Paraskevi Papachristou will be competing in the finals tomorrow for a shot at a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 If you guys recall Papachristou, she was the one banned from the 2012 London games because of a racist tweet she posted on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 How many more medals can we realistically grab? Maybe 2 more from 2 different athletes and another one from the Men's Water Polo Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 lol it's Hungary who are the king of Water Polo Just read on my phone for the latest result, Konstantinos Filippidis is going to the finals of the Men's Pole Vault :) Wish him luck !

Antaeus7 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Greece lost to Australia 12-7, even though Greece advances to the quarterfinals, I have a bad feeling that a loss like this one could get in there heads. It doesn't matter if they face Italy, Spain, Croatia, or Montenegro, you better bring your A game or it's go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 In Synchronized Swimming, Greece pair Evangelia Papazoglou and Evangelia Platanioti finished 10th in Duet Free Routine with a score of 86.100. Tomorrow, they will perform the Duet Technical Routine. It's a good showing, but I am not expecting them to win medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 As I watched the 110 m hurdle, Konstadinos Davoualidis finished first in Heat 4 with a time of 13.41 (5th best overall) and advance into the semifinals. I think he will need a better time in order to qualify for the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 As far as Filippidis goes in the Men's Pole Vault, he failed to convert his final 3 attempts and finished 7th. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Unbelievable finish in the 10KM open swim with Gianiotis defeating his opponent by 0.7 seconds. Third gold medal for Greece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Now they are reviewing the photo finish to determine the winner. They are giving the same time to both swimmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Apparently Gianiotis lost the gold medal because he failed to touch the finish board while the Dutch swimmer did even though it appeared that Gianiottis crossed the finish line ahead of him. Gianiotis gets the silver medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Why blew it, OH? Same time after 10K of swimming. It should be a tie. Ergo two gold medals. And we must be proud. It is the first medal after 120 years in swimming. Overall a good day and good games for a EllinoOllando like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think awarding a gold to both athletes would have been fair considering they were both given the same finish time. In the picture below it looks like Gianniotis (white cap) crosses the line first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm still proud of Gianniotis, he was around 12th position in the race and surged his way to a medal. Nothing to be ashamed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 We have secured a medal in Sailing, 470 class. Medal race is tomorrow, but we are guaranteed a medal and can even get the gold. I am watching the Greece - Italy quarterfinal water polo game and we are playing very badly. Losing 2:0 after 1st quarter. We need to pick it up.
