Mi bado naomboleza rugby sevens . -🙁
Lakini ukweli ni kwamba Fiji wamecheza vizuri mno na wanastahili pongezi na Gold medal. Ukizingatia hiyo ndio medal ya kwanza kwenye nchi Yao . Safi Sana .
Kwa upande wa Tanzania naona tunesha shindwa Judo na kuongelea tusubiri riadha tu .

Controversial U.S soccer star Hope Solo has lashed out at the Swedish women's team after they knocked the Americans out of the Olympics.
The three-time defending Olympic gold medal winners and 2015 World Cup champions will miss the Olympic final for the first time after the shock loss to Sweden on penalties.
After the defeat, Solo - the team's goalkeeper, said: 'we lost to a bunch of cowards. The better team did not win.'

After the defeat, Solo - the team's goalkeeper, said: 'we lost to a bunch of cowards. The better team did not win'
'I strongly believe that. I think you saw American heart. You saw us give everything we had today,' she told Sports Illustrated.
'I thought that we played a courageous game... Sweden dropped off. They didn't want to open play. They didn't want to pass the ball. They didn't want to play great soccer.
'I don't think they're going to make it far in the tournament. I think it was very cowardly. But they won. They're moving on, and we're going home.'
Tied after three rounds in the shootout, Swedish captain Caroline Seger beat Hope Solo and American Christen Press skied her shot and sent it flying over the net.
With the next kick, Sweden's Lisa Dahlkvist calmly slotted the ball past Solo to secure the win. Before the final shot, Solo tried to put Dahlkvist off by changing her gloves - a delaying tactic that meant the Swede had to wait longer to take her kick.
As Sweden celebrated, U.S. captain Carli Lloyd crouched on the field at Mane Garrincha Stadium. It was the first time that an Olympic women's match had gone to penalties.
It was the earliest the United States had ever been eliminated from the Olympics since women's soccer became a sport in 1996.
After a scoreless first half, Sweden got the all-important opening goal through Stina Blackstenius in the 61st minute.

The U.S. was able to pull level through Alex Morgan in the 78th, and the match remained deadlocked through the 90 minutes - forcing extra time.
Lloyd thought she had scored the go-ahead goal in the 115th minute, only to have the strike incorrectly called back for offside.
The reigning World Cup champions, who are also four-time Olympic champions, had not dropped a match this year before being bounced out by Sweden.
The European nation will go on to face either Australia or Brazil in the semifinals.

Shocked American fans were quick to react to the massive upset on social media.
'I feel sick. Heartbroken for my team,' Lauren Holiday, who retired from the team after last year's World Cup, said.
'Sat in my shower and cried real tears after watching the women's soccer team lose to Sweden,' Savannah Sabistina tweeted.
'Olympics cancelled,' another fan added.

But some were more positive, saying that the loss will fuel the U.S. team on for the 2020 Games.
'4 years from now I can't wait to witness the revenge and dominance,' Caleb McCoy tweeted.
'I feel so sad. 4 years to come back with a vengeance tho!' Ashley Along wrote.
Rubbing salt into the wounds was the fact Sweden's coach, Pia Sundhage, previously coached the U.S. team for five years and was manager for gold medal winning campaigns in Beijing and London.
The Americans won their first two matches in Brazil before a surprising 2-2 draw in Manaus against Colombia, which had already been eliminated.

walinitia hurama sana watoto hawa jinsi walivyosikitika baada ya kutolewa. Yule msichana namba 12 aliyepiga penalty nje alikuwa akilia nadhabni alijiona kuwa ndiye aliyezamisha timu. Wasichana hawa walicheza mchezo mzuri sana ila mara nyingi mashuti yao mengi yakawa hayaingii gorini. Sweden walikuwa wameelemewa sana kwa zaidi ya silimia 70 za mchozo. Hata hivyo Swededn walikuwa na mshambuliaji mmoja hatari sana ambaye akishachomoka utadhani miguu imefungiwa mota, halafu hata golikipa wa Sweden naye alikuwa mzuri.Sore losers!

Hakuna aliyetegemea Sweden wawasimamishe USA, lakini ndiyo hivyo mpira hudunda na wakati mwingine kunakuwa na matokeo ambayo ni wachache waliyategemea. Lakini huyu mdada kutumia hii lugha hakuonyesha uanamichezo, labda hasira zikiisha atajirudi na kuwaomba samahani Sweden.

Baada mwanadada wa Ethiopia kupunguza sekundi 14 kutoka rekodi ya dunia ya awali mita 10000 nimewaza je kipo kikomo cha rekodi za dunia ? Mfano binafsi sidhani atatokea binadamu kukimbia marathon kwa muda wa chini ya masaa mawili. Taratibu tunakaribia kikomo cha uwezo wa binadamu kwenye riadha.
