Who won today’s medal?
“It doesn’t feel like the Olympics”
Adam Peaty is another athlete in these Olympics, and he is not satisfied with the lack of fans.
“It’s really weird that there is no crowd, it’s really weird,” he said after winning the warm-up match.
“But this is the psychological problem we need to adapt to. I don’t know how it will feel outside.
“Because there are no crowds, it doesn’t feel like the Olympics. This is different. Of course not. But obviously when you go back to the village, that’s it. So it’s about controlling all these emotions and acting when it’s important.”
‘We don’t look like ourselves’
British coach Haig Riise said that her team began to defeat Japan in the second half and qualify for the women’s quarterfinals.
Ellen White scored again to end the game and qualify for a game.
Riiser said: “In the first half, we didn’t look like ourselves, we didn’t have the speed of the game we wanted. We appeared with a different attitude and a united attitude, and we were all committed to the last 45 minutes.
“In the second half we changed the formation a little bit and controlled better.
“We are all very happy. This puts us in a good position. We can let the players rest and recover well. The connection between players will get better and better in every game.
“We are surprised that Japan has made changes, but they gained momentum in the first half of the year.”
To the end
Charlotte Frye admitted that her Olympic debut could not be better because she participated in the individual dressage final at the Tokyo Equestrian Park.
The 25-year-old’s late mother, Laura, represented the United Kingdom in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Together with Everdale, she ranked among the top in the qualifying group with 77.096% of her personal best Grand Prix.
Frye’s outstanding performance under the floodlights also means that the British team’s hopes have a strong start. Charlotte Dujardin and Karl Hester formed a powerful trio.
Hester is 54 years old and is the oldest participant of the GB team in Tokyo. He performed well in the downpour and showed all his experience.
‘We have delivered’
British gymnast Max Whitlock qualified for the pommel horse finals and helped the team advance to the team finals.
“When I said that qualifying is the hardest event, I think I can speak for every gymnast,” he said.
“This is the most nerve-wracking thing. Literally, it all depends on qualifications. If you disqualify, your Olympics will be over.
“If you don’t, you can move on and have more opportunities to compete on this stage.
“The team was a bit quieter. When I went to breakfast in the morning, I didn’t talk as much as usual, but we came here and I think we have delivered it, especially in terms of assembly.”
Dominance
In the men’s final of the Tokyo Olympics, Hungarian Aaron Silaj defeated Luigi Sameler 15-7, becoming the first Olympic fencer to win three individual saber gold medals.
Szilagyi used his quick reaction to establish an early 7-1 lead and prevented the Italian opponent from making a brief comeback before ending the victory.
GB female enters the dormitory
This completes the work. Alan White’s header allowed GB to beat Japan 1-0, and they entered the last eight games with one more game.
Target!Japan 0-1 National Standard Team
Ellen White has one more! There were two games in the first game, and now she gives GB the lead.
This is not what the goalkeeper wants to see again, but White was the first to get there and go home.
