Olympic champion in Rio 2016, Maialen Chourraut, achieved silver in the slalom final with a magnificent descent (106.63). The big favorite, the Australian Jessica Fox, finally finished with the third best time (102.73), which led the Spanish to achieve her third Olympic medal, after having been bronze in London 2012. Chourraut started the slalom final in the Kasai canoeing center with the fourth starting order and finished his descent with a great time. He was placed with the best provisional time. And I hope. It was only surpassed by the German Ricarda Funk (105.5), Olympic gold.
The day ends with a great event: the artistic gymnastics team final in which all eyes were on Simone Biles. However, the Olympic champion has been replaced after a poor exercise on the colt. He came to participate in the first test, did not do the exercise that was expected and finished with the worst grade. She was scheduled to participate in the uneven bars when she was substituted. One of the great attractions of these Games will not be in the team final.
The fourth day of the Tokyo Games had begun conditioned by the effects of typhoon Nepartak which, with winds of up to 125 kilometers per hour, forced to modify some schedules. In swimming, Hugo González finished sixth in the Olympic 100m backstroke final with a time of 52.78s, his personal best. Russia achieved gold and silver with Rylov (51.98s) and Kolesnikov (52.00s) and the bronze went to the American Murphy (52.19s). In teams, the men's hockey team complicated their way after losing to India (3-0), the water polo team consolidated its optimism with a win against Montenegro (6-8) and the women's handball team faced France (14.30) ). In tennis, the rain interrupted the start of a day in which Garbiñe Muguruza and Paula Badosa passed the round and will be in the quarterfinals. Not so Sorribes, who was eliminated.
