SRB – ITA (10:8)
Delfini su u finalu! Lako je savladana selekcija Italije i izborena šansa za prvo (samostalno) olimpijsko zlato. Briljirali su igrači Dejan Savića, o čemu je svedočila i prvobitna serija od 5:0.
The Serbian Dolphins have reached their first Olympic final by an easy win against Italy. On Saturday they will be fighting for the only title that remains, that of Olympic champion.
SRB – CRO (86:83)
U neizvesnom meču koji je odlučivao polufinalistu, Srbija je održala tradiciju i savladala Hrvatsku sa 86:83. Sjajna pobeda, posle dva sata koja su bila samo za one sa jakim živcima.
Selekcija Srbije ponovo je naidgrala Hrvatsku, u duelu za koji su se navijači obe zemlje pripremali danima. Kao i po običaju, ni današnji susret u Riju nije mogao da prođe bez tenzija na terenu i velikog broja slobodnih bacanja.…
Olimpijski bilans
Dva finala i dve medalje, bilans su noćašnjeg takmičenja u Riju. Tijana Bogdanović osvojila je srebro, dok je Ivana Španović izborila bronzu. Ukupno tri medalje za Srbiju u manje od dva dana.

Nema spavanja!
Razlika od pet sati u odnosu na Rio, poremetila je san brojnih balkanskih ljubitelja sporta. Ipak, uzimajući u obzir šta je sve na programu u Brazilu, moramo reći da vredi.
Večeras, ili bolje rečeno, noćas nas čekaju dva finala: Tijana Bogdanović boriće se za zlatnu medalju u tekvondu, na svojim prvim Olimpijskim igrama. Druga, potencijalno zlatna reprezentativka Srbije je Ivana Španović, čije je finale u toku, uz jaku konkurenciju.
I naravno, posebna poslastica za sve Balkance, košarkaški duel između ljutih rivala Srbije i Hrvatske, koji počinje za nešto manje od sat vremena.
Istegnite se, spremite kofeinski napitak po želji i krećemo.
ENG: Štefanek on his new gold
Davor Štefanek has won his first Olympic gold medal. The first medal for Serbia in Rio, and the first gold in wrestling in four decades. This is what he had to say to the Serbian National TV after the ceremony, with the transcript in English.
“The Olympic champion! Twenty years of work have payed off tonight. How are you feeling right now?”
-“I am not even aware of it yet. I can’t believe this happened. Getting into the final was a big deal. I knew I was ready…” …
ZLATNI DAVOR
Serbia strikes gold!
Srpski rvač Davor Štefanek vlasnik je prve olimpijske medalje iz Rija. Štefanek je u veoma neizvesnoj borbi došao do rezultata od 1:1 koji mu je doneo zlato.
Serbia’s Davor Stefanek wins the country’s first medal of the Rio 2016 Olympics. First, gold, and the first in over three decades. I say this is a good evening for Davor.
SRB – ESP (10:7)
Vaterpolo reprezentacija Srbije, doživela je pravi preporod. U četvrtfinalu se protiv selekcije Španije iskazala sva snaga evropskog i svetskog šampiona, za silovit ulazak u polufinale. Čeka se noć i novi protivnik.
In their best match yet, Serbia beats Spain for a spot in the Mens Water polo Semifinals. A 10:7 win was marked by a solid standing in all the aspects of the Serbian strategy, while it is now clear that the World and European Champions are ready in Rio.
Serbia – China (94:60)
Serbia is in the mens Olympic quarterfinals! The players of coach Aleksandar Đorđević have beat China by 94:60 in a match dominated by the Serbs, supported from their fellow national team members in water polo. An even better rerun of last year’s match on the Belgrade Trophy.
Despite China’s man to man defence, the speed and precision of Serbia, tonight playing in white, was undeniable. It has to be mentioned that team China was showing off mostly very young players, considering their most experienced generation is on their way to a well deserved retirement. Nevertheless, we are definitely going to be hearing some of these names in the years to come. Especially as the style of the European players blends with the strong Chinese work ethics.
Kickoff & viewing: Serbia – China
As we await a potentially very interesting match between China and Serbia in their last match of the Group stage at the Rio Olympics, there are a lot of stakes to be taken into consideration.
In case of a win, Serbia will get into the knockout stage of the competition, for the first time as an independent state. A truly historical success for a generation that has a lot at stake. The players of Aleksandar Đorđević, lead by captain Miloš Teodosić are on their first ever Olympics, and expectations from the team, and back home are running high.
China on the other hand is looking for international confirmation of their rising popularity in basketball. Despite the importance, the atmosphere is expected to be sports worthy.…
SRB – JPN (12:8)
Delfini su savladali motivisane Japance za prolazak u četvrtfinale Olimpijskog turnira. Prva četvrtina, za zaborav. Odbrana, briljirala, Filipović najkorisniji.
Selekcija Japana odigrala je verovatno najbolju utakmicu na čitavom turniru i povela sa šokantnih 5:2. Tokom pauze, selektor Dejan Savić je uspeo da razdrma svoje igrače, što se videlo kroz golove fenomenalnog Filipa Filipovića i Miloša Ćuka. Uprkos nepreciznoj večeri iz ugla strelca, Andrija Prlainović je donekle uspeo da asistencijama nadoknadi propušteno.
Drugo poluvreme donelo je promenu golmana, ali i znatno snažniju odbranu. Briljirao je Gojko Pijetlović među stativama, odbranio peterac, ali i sprečio povratak eventualne rezultatske neizvesnosti u meč. Ekipa Japana igrala je stihijski, brzo i shodno svom nacionalnom temperamentu. Međutim, klasa srpskih vaterpolista, ponovo se pokazala kroz dalji tok meča i osigurala prolaz Delfina u okrilje najboljih osam.
Ovo je ukupno druga pobeda naše reprezentacije. Srbija se trenutno nalazi na drugoj poziciji u grupi sa 6 bodova, a najverovatnije će se susresti sa Italijom u nastavku takmičenja, koja je treća. Međutim, u slučaju pobede Brazila nad Mađarskom, čeka nas derbi protiv Hrvatske.
Za sada, Srbija ima prilike da odahne. Zatim i ozbiljno porazmisli o regrupisanju, kako bi naredne partije tekle znatno lakše po plave delfine.
