Australia finally wins a deserved medal in Basketball.
Was hoping it would be Silver, and we gave the USA a red hot shake in the final.
But they had a fantastic campaign - only losing to the USA and winning convincingly in every other game.
And with arguably their best player not even there (Ben Simmons).

The most Canadian thing is we set our new Summer Olympics record 23 total medals... whilst canoeing!  |

France wins gold in both men and women`s handball.
Norway got bronze beating Sweden 36-19 in the women`s handball, for some reason i thought it was the Netherlands that was going to play Norway in the bronze final, but this was wrong it was Sweden.

Pretty good olympics for Team NL. For me Sifan Hassan was the highlight.
I hope Laurine van Riessen can come home soon. She is still in the hospital after a big crash during track cycling. She broke her collar bone and six ribs, got a bruised long and a small haemorrhage in the brain.

She broke her collar bone and six ribs, got a bruised long and a small haemorrhage in the brain. Nightmare for her. God speed. Yes, Hassan was exceptional. The 1500m was a bridge to far though. Still, two golds and a bronze. NL finished above France, Germany and Italy in the medals table, all much bigger nations.

Proud of Team USA for topping the medal count despite various setbacks. The Biles meltdown, Men's track was a disaster, the USWNT mailed in the Olympics and somehow we still came out on top. Congratulations to all the athletes on their hard work and perseverance.

The German team should be deeply ashamed. But most certainly they aren't, that's the problem. Cut all fundings, it's wasted on them.
