Italy with the gold in the 100 and the 4×1. Not sure speedy sprinters is my first thought of the Italians.

There's little doubt where the Bronze medalist in the women's marathon is from.  Great moment and race.

So time out....
there's "kumite" - which I assume we've all seen Bloodsport, right?  In the gold medal match, the guy loses because he kicked the guy too hard and knocked him out.  So he loses.  
AND
there's kata.....doing karate stuff with no opponent......and it's an olympic sport?  Couldn't they just call it Karate Memory?  Whoever remembers their routine best is the winner?  
.
Some BS stuff if you ask me.

Don't know the situation for the former. 

For kata, that's a thing. Consider it the karate equivalent of gymnastics floor exercise.

In Competitive kumite including in the Olympics, you need to show restraint and control of your strikes so as not to seriously injure your opponent. That is why he was disqualified

Gold medal beatdown of Brazil.  Really good match to watch if you want to see how serve receive and passing is so crucial in volleyball.   Brazil could not and US had maybe 1.5 bad passes.   

Very cool to see Jordan Larson end the match with a kill.  JWO should be the tournament MVP.   B

The gold puts US ahead of China in gold count, if that's what you're into.
