Schedule of the Olympic Games over time. Olympics in Rio: Schedule of Olympic competitions by day. The danger of disrupting the Olympics
Today, on the fourth day of the 2016 Olympic Games, Rio de Janeiro will host awards in nine sports: rowing slalom, judo, equestrianism, swimming, diving, gymnastics, shooting, weightlifting and fencing.
Champions in the weight categories up to 63 kg (women) and 69 kg (men) will be determined in the barbell. In diving, competitions in synchronized diving from a platform among women will be held. Russian athletes do not participate in these types of programs of the Olympic program, and although they take part in triathlon (equestrian sports), they do not claim awards.
The same situation is with rowing slalom, the medals in which will be played in canoe singles for men. If a Alexander Lipatov will make it to the final, it will already become a success.
In judo, winners will be determined in the weight categories up to 81 kg for men and up to 63 kg for women. Khasan Khalmurzaev will start the tournament with a fight with an Iranian, and Ekaterina Valkova will meet with a rival from Holland. Any of our judokas have chances for medals, but medals in these categories will be a big sensation. Epee fencers will fight for the awards of the personal tournament. Our team is represented here Vadim Anokhin, Pavel Sukhov and Anton Avdeev. The situation is the same as with judo - if any of our athletes gets to the awards, it will be a surprise.
Women will compete for medals in shooting from a small-caliber pistol at a distance of 25 m. The Russian team will be represented by the vice-champion of the 2016 Games in shooting from an air pistol Vitalina Batsarashkina and Ekaterina Korshunova. Two days ago, we modestly assessed the chances of our girls for medals and were wrong.
In swimming, all hopes are tied to the men's 4x200 freestyle relay, but the biggest chances for medals today are in artistic gymnastics. Women will determine the top three winners in the team all-around. In qualifying Aliya Mustafina, Anastasia Melnikova, Maria Paseka, Daria Spiridonova and Seda Tutkhalyan showed the third result. Just like the men who finished second in the final.
In team sports, we will cheer for our water polo players, who will start the tournament with a match against Australia, and for volleyball players, who will play against Argentina.

XXXI Summer Olympic Games will be held from 5 to 21 August 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This will be the first Olympic Games to be held in South America.
City selection
The application process started on May 16, 2007 and ended on September 13 of the same year. Baku (Azerbaijan), Doha (Qatar), Madrid (Spain), Prague (Czech Republic), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Tokyo (Japan) and Chicago (USA) submitted their applications to host the Games.
On June 4, 2008, four finalists were selected from among these cities: Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Chicago.

By the way, earlier Rio de Janeiro applied for hosting the 1936, 1940, 2004 and 2012 Summer Olympic Games, but never got into the number of cities participating in the final vote.

Symbolism
The Brazilian media suspected the creators of the 2016 Olympics logo of plagiarism. According to journalists, they found significant similarities with the logo of the American charitable foundation Telluride Foundation, which operates in Telluride, Colorado.
Both logos feature stylized figures of people dancing hand in hand. However, there are three figures on the logo of the Olympiad, and four figures on the logo of the fund, and their general silhouette resembles a heart.
The designers deny all accusations. The company behind the logo claims they have never seen the Telluride Foundation sign. According to the head of the company, before presenting their work to the public, they conducted extensive research to make it unique.
On July 3, 2015, the organizing committee of the Games presented the design of the Olympic torch. Its surface is covered with small triangles, which symbolize the main Olympic values - perfection, friendship and mutual respect. Multicolored wavy lines represent the efforts of the athletes. These lines are not initially visible, but are revealed at the moment the torch is lit. This process was called the "kiss of torches".
The colors of the lines symbolize the sea, mountains, sky and sun, as well as the colors of the flag of Brazil. The torch is made from recycled aluminum and gum and has a satin finish. It weighs from 1 kg to 1.5 kg, and is 63.5 cm high when closed and 69 cm open.
Talismans
In November 2014, the organizing committee of Rio 2016 presented two mascots for the future Games - the animal Vinicius and the plant Tom. They were named so as a result of a vote organized by the inhabitants of Brazil, in honor of two great Brazilian composers.
Rio Olympics mascots - Vinicius and Tom
Vinicius was born as a result of an "explosion of joy" on the day Rio de Janeiro was declared the Olympic capital on October 2, 2009. But he himself suggests not counting his exact number of years. Vinicios is a mixture of all known Brazilian animals. It has very flexible arms and legs, runs fast, jumps high and can imitate the speech of many species of fauna. Vinicius lives in Tijuca, the city's largest forest area, with a wonderful view of Rio.
Tom is a Paralympic mascot, a magical creature that united all the plants of the Brazilian forests. Tom was also born out of the “explosion of joy” that swept through Brazil after the announcement of the capital of the 2016 Summer Games. Tom loves Brazilian samba very much, reads books and, of course, knows a lot about the nature of his country. He prefers to rest in a lily flower in the waters of the lake. Its mission is to help find creativity and determination in yourself. And, of course, have fun.
Sports
It was decided to include competitions in rugby-7 (a simplified version of rugby) and golf in the program of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games.
Both of these species were once represented in the Olympic program.
Golfers on summer games competed in just two Olympics - and years. Then golf was removed from the list of Olympic sports.
The rugby tournament was first held in and since then has been included in the program of the next three Olympics. In the same Paris, but already, rugby said goodbye to the Olympic Games for a long time.

On the ninth day of the competition, Russian athletes won 3 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals.
Greco-Roman wrestler Roman Vlasov (up to 75 kg), gymnast Aliya Mustafina (bars) and tennis players Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina (doubles) brought gold to Russia. Gymnast Maria Paseka (vault) and shooter Sergei Kamensky (rifle, 50m, three positions) won silver, cyclist Denis Dmitriev (individual sprint) and yachtswoman Stefania Elfutina (RS:X) won bronze.
Russia has the first medal in sailing since 1996. In the RS:X class (windsurfing), 19-year-old Stefania Elfutina won bronze.
The Frenchwoman Charlene Picon became the Olympic champion, the silver went to the Chinese Chen Payne.
Stefania Elfutina from the very first day, August 8, joined the fight for medals and never lost contact with the leaders. After the first day of competition, she was second, after half of the scheduled flights - third, a day later she was one point closer to the leader of the regatta - Flavia Tartaglini from Italy. According to the results of the penultimate racing day, Elfutina took the lead overall standings. Alas, after one of the numerous protests, Tartaglini got an extra point and caught up with Elfutina. And since she has a victory in one of the flights, and the Russian woman does not, the Italian has returned the leading position.
The line-up for the Medal Race, a "medal race" where all points are doubled, was as follows: Tartaglini - first (55 points), Elfutina - second (55), from third to fifth places were occupied by the Chinese Chen, the Frenchwoman Picon and the Israeli Davidovich (60 points each). ). It turned out that in a bad scenario, the Russian woman could have been left without medals at all, especially considering that she scored all the points due to stability, never winning a single flight in the entire regatta.
Officially, the Women's Medal Race in the "RS:X" class was supposed to start at 14:05 local time, but time passed, conflicting information came in, and nothing started. Finally at 15:35 the start was given. The wind was not strong - about 10 knots (15 is considered good). But a red flag was lit in front of Elfutina. All rivals went into the race, and the Russian woman had just started.
“I am very ashamed, but I still don’t understand why I was given a warning,” Elfutin told reporters after Elfutina: “There are no complaints against the judges, which means she deserved it. But what exactly happened, I don't know right now."
Probably, only she knows that it cost her half an hour almost calm to rise from the last, tenth, to sixth place, overtaking the favorite, Tartaglini, and snatch this bronze: “I just thought that I had two options: give up and wait another four years or do something about it. And then I decided: no, four years is too much, I’ll try now.”
She was desperately "gliding", trying to accelerate and get far-gone rivals! Of course, it was lucky that the wind was very weak: Elfutina is good in such weather due to her physical strength, and this allows her to keep the board in “gliding” much longer than her rivals (she says that she calmly does 20-25 pull-ups, but maybe more).
Absolutely - this moment will go down in the history of our sailing.

She was ahead of her main rival American Madison Kochyan in the uneven bars exercise by 0.067 points. The bronze medalist was the German Sophie Scheder.
"Everything went well," Aliya said after the performance: "Moreover, I think it was my best combination of the four made at the Olympics. It turned out cleaner than the rest. I collected this combination when I arrived here in Rio. Trained from base 6 5, but performed from a base of 6.8. Once I came to the gym and realized that I didn’t want to perform with a simple program, that I would gather all my strength and do a complex one.
In the all-around, I did not show my maximum on three shells at once - on the balance beam, on the uneven bars and in floor exercises. But on the other hand, it would be very difficult for me to overtake the Americans, only in case of their mistakes it was possible.
