Day 5 - Stayin' Alive

Day 5 is in the books!

PiranhaMama has started slow, but lots of action tonight with the Simone Biles train to come...



Highlights:

Cycling - Real Winner picked a winner as Anna Van Der Breggen picks up a Bronze in the Time Trial to go with her Gold from the Road Race.  Chris Froome also bolstered Guanabara Gladiators with a Bronze.

Diving - Qin and Cao from China were upset and ended up with a Bronze in the springboard synchronized diving - hurting PiranhaMama and Team Leroy in the process

Table Tennis - The first medals were won in the sport with the Women's finals occurring - it was a bout between the Chinese powerhouses Ding Ning and Li Xiaoxia.  Who won? Ding Ding Ding Ding - Team Mark gets the Gold and PiranhaMama gets the Silver.

Swimming:

  • Madeliene Groves finally breaks through with a Silver for PiranhaMama
  • Nathan Adrian scored a disappointing Bronze in the 100m dash for Fogo de Champion
  • Ledecky gets another Gold - of course! for It Phelps.
Gymnastics - Kohei Uchimura eeked out the Gold in the men's all-around by .09 points.  It took a big hop on the final landing by the silver medalist to seal the deal.  WHEW - double gold for Fogo de Champion.
