Russian rowers lack nine hundredths to the medal. Athlete from Ukraine is forced to repaint the boat

Paris-2024. Super -short -like about what is happening at the Olympics

Medals . Over the past day, Chinese athletes have won as many as five gold medals, the United States - only three, so China has returned to the first line of the medal table, and is now ahead of the American team for one gold. The third gold medal of this Olympiad was received by Ukraine (Alexander Hizhnyak, Boxing).

Russians . Zakhar Petrov and Alexei Karavashkov finished fourth in the canoeing two meters-they did not have enough nine hundredths of a second before the medal. Tomorrow Petrov starts 1000 meters alone - this will be the last performance for Russians at these Olympic Games.

What else interesting . Chinese athletes won gold in groups in synchronous swimming - this is the first case since 1996, when the highest reward was not Russian synchronists (they were not allowed to be launched, since synchronous swimming is considered a team sport). The Morocco team won the bronze of the football tournament, defeating Egypt 6: 0 in the match for third place. In the final tomorrow will play Spain and France.

The noise around . The organizers of the Games banned the Ukrainian canyist Anastasia Rybachka to perform in a boat with the slogan “I Am Ukranian” on board, seeing signs of political propaganda in this inscription (the IOC prohibits any political inscriptions, including antivone - although the fisherman itself noted that her sticker only emphasized the national belonging). At first, the inscription was sealed, leaving only “UKRANI”, but this also did not suit the organizers - as a result, the fisherman had to compete in someone else's boat. This did not stop her from going to the semifinals.

What are we waiting for . In the evening there will be a superpolufine in the men's basket: the US team against Serbia, headed by three times with the MVP NBA Nikola Yokich. In athletics, the finale of the two hundred meter in men.
