[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Canadians may want to keep an eye out for Antoine Bouchard in the 66kg Men's Judo competition.

Not sure if they're showing it in Canada but he just upset one of the top medal threats in the round of 32 and has a much easier match in the round of 16.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Bouchard got eliminated - but he has a chance in the repechage.
(i love that word so much it's so Olympian)

 

[Daisy Jane]

Bouchard won his repechage and will go for a Bronze Medal

Bouchard won his repechage and will go for a Bronze Medal

Awesome! Is he considered a favorite against his opponent in the Bronze medal bout?

Not sure. but he's been kicking behind against everyone. (the only loss was the one in the quarters), so i wouldn't count him out even if he wasn't.

I saw his upset against the #3 ranked Russian, he was very impressive.

 

[Daisy Jane]

No Bronze for Bouchard.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Damn.

 

[DoyleG]

Kelmendi wins Gold.

KOSOVO!!!

 

[Rocko604]

Canadian and 2012 bronze medalist Antonie Valois-Fortier beaten in the quarter finals, though I believe he can still get to a bronze medal match if he wins his repechage match.

And while I'm a proud Canadian, I'm rooting for Travis Stevens of the USA, who is also a BJJ black belt under John Danaher and Garry Tonon, to win gold.

 

[Cloned]

The Canadian should continue appealing that poke in the eye.

 

[offkilter]

I hope Kayla Harrison repeats in 78kg today. I was so proud to see her win USA's first gold ever in the sport at the last games!

 

[offkilter]

Kayla's off to the semi's! She's doing amazing, but I'm nervous as hell!

 

[Eisen]

What the **** was that?

 

[Miamipuck]

What the **** was that?

I think I know what you mean. Lmao

Wow Kayla was freaking awesome, congrats to her.

 

[Eisen]

The ref really let that one go on for a long time.

Oh I thought you meant something different. Lol

 

[Eisen]

Oh I thought you meant something different. Lol

I just realised that now too. I meant the choke hold in the bronze match. I'm sure the German was close to passing out.

 

[Preds Partisan]

Harrison is the only Olympic medalist, other than hockey, I've ever met. Really happy she got another gold.

 

[offkilter]

Way to go Kayla!!!

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Hmm.... The Egyptian Judo ka refused to shake hands with the Israeli guy after losing. Politics should stay out of the Olympics, sadly it usually doesn't

 

[Dr Pepper]

Now everyone's gonna make a big deal out of it, too.

It's just a handshake, folks.
