The Norwegian women's handball team winning the handball competition with several of the stars in the squad now retiring (or are very likely to), was one of the highlights.
I believe the 4th place athlete appealed and she got her score raised as a result, knocking Chiles off the podium. I don't think that appeal involved Chiles at all
Thank you, well, I haven't watched the game, so I can't have any say regarding the situation 😅, but in regards of the appeals, hoping that some other players who felt they're cheated may also speak, particularly those in the boxing match (two of our athletes we've felt got robbed of another Bronze or Silver/Gold medal due to some anomaly in the ring), the saddest part was, they've never appealed for it and just kinda let it go, but we've all moved on.
And by the way, in comparison with the opening ceremony, what does anyone think of the closing ceremony of this Olympic season? Is it an improvement? Or a worse? Or just fine?
Delighted that Italy, Belgium and Czechia did well this year.
Even more delighted to learn that San Marino, even though missing out on a medal this year, remains the nation with the most Summer Olympics medals per capita: approximately one medal per 11.600 inhabitants.
Myself, I found that closing ceremony to be dull and boring. To the point where I went to bed at the time the officials did all their speeches, missing the end of the show with Tom Cruise's stunt (a bit flawed, apparently, he couldn't get the leg packet containing the Stars and Stripes open), and "My Way". I much preferred the closing ceremony at the London Olympics in 2012, but then, I'm a fan of the Monty Python.
Now, it's time to check the balance of those games. I'm very happy for our athletes results. We managed to do better than in Tokyo, and there is a lot of moments that will be legendary : Léon Marchand's performance, Teddy Riner, the BMX team. But the most important thing is this : despite everyone in France saying that the Games would be a disaster, despite all the controversies, we did it ! We managed to give an event that would make any country proud. These games will be hard to beat, that's for sure. But now, it's back to reality, I'm afraid.
