    I'm happy that Allyson Felix got herself a bronze in the 400 m final but Shaunae Miller-Uibo was in a class of her own. It helps to be so tall.

    She’s really impressive to watch.

    Especially when she stays upright and is not diving…. 😉

        Penalty shootout to decide the women’s football gold medal.

        First ever time in a women’s gold medal match.

        I almost feel sick for these girls!

              Bjorn for Sweden for their second and it’s a nice goal.

                Swedish keeper saves the second Canadian one.

                All tied up.

                          Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.

                              They could run out of kickers. Has that happened before?

                                Cool as a cool thing. Canada nails the pressure 5th penalty to tie it.

                                  The pressure is getting to these girls big time.

                                  Canadian keeper saves another.

                                  Now Canada can win the gold here.

                                          @nostrildamus I was referring to the Latvian javelin thrower in the final. Her name is Madara Palameika.
