    Is there anywhere that lists all the gold medals decided each day and at what time? Want an easy way to sift through the clutter so I know when finals are on in obscure sports.

    I missed the judges scores but he won handy enough anyway against a fairly decent yardstick. Some decent punches thrown.

    To my mind the greatest Olympian has to be a gymnast - the difficulty level is off the scale compared to all other sports.
