I don't know if this can help (because of TV rights) but here's the TV site with every streaming http://www.rai.it/rio2016/ (click HOME on top left, then DIRETTE)

we can't really have a invidual thread for every single sport
Nothing to be sorry about! I also think it's harder to get 3 bronze medals than one gold, which official medal table does not reflect. I'm not from that big country either Feel free to post a table by number of medals I will post a table after every day, hope you will too for easy comparison I'd love to see Poland break the magic ten medals per Olympic curse. The last 3 Olympics there were 10, time for change! And I don't care that much about colour. I'm angry when athletes cry or get mad (or when their respective country medias do that) when they're second like it's discomfiture, when in fact it's great accomplishment and many others would love being in their place, but will never be.
I'm always happy to see small countries win for the very first time! That's what Olympics is about for me. No matter where you come from, you can do that!
Only people from small country can understand that. You're right that it's too early to read into the medal table. Vietnam has got the first OGM in its history but that's probably the only gold we can get. We'll probably drop to 70 at the end of the Olympics.
Ah, CaroLiza_fan, you use that fake table the Americans came up with to make themselves feel superior? :no:
I am sorry about your male gymnast, though. Our commentators were saying he has had knee injuries before.
.. After all, we all know that the Americans only care about gold ...
Considering Olympics are in Rio, I obviously would like Brazil to win some medals. Honestly, I do not care what color. Depending on the sport, all I want is for Brazil make the second round. In gymnastics, my favourite summer sport, a medal of any color would be good, but I know that the chances are minimal, so honestly, if the team makes to team finals I will be thrilled already. In individual, I would like to see a gymnast in the top ten. What I pray for, however, is that they do not bomb. Anything above not bombing is gain.

Why not?:yes2:
:dev2: Many Americans do not feel that way. I object to your sweeping generalization.
That was supposed to be a jibe at the climate created by the sporting federations, and more specifically their funding bodies. And the way that if you don't win, you get less support. So, winning is all that matters if you want to survive in your sport.
Should have made it clearer.

...or two like for women's gymnastics

There's so much booing from the crowd in various sports whenever I watch from the TV. Is this normal?
