Currently watching Sweden/Hungary in handball...and I'm starting to think the title of handball goalie may be the most useless position in sport. It seems like 90% of shots go in.

Am I crazy or does the court feel smaller as well?

Very nice first dive by the Italian (who is also Canadian but chose to dive for Italy) in the women's 10m final!

Great dive by McKay for Canada on her first dive!! Maybe a bit crooked entering, but still great.

EDIT - just saw she's from Calgary too!

Lol annnnd the other Chinese diver Quan in the finals overtakes 1st with a perfect dive(!??), with 1st dive standings as China, China, North Korea, Canada. There's great competition in these finals and McKay is keeping up!

This is a cool story. Team refugee is going to win its first medal (ever) in boxing.

I have been watching their results, and they've finished at the back of the pack in nearly every competition. It's great to see that they'll actually medal.

You know this is tape delayed, right? Still probably better than the basketball game though.
