BVBinfo says this pool has only played two matches while all others have completed 4 and one is finished? How is this possible?

Was there any further commentary/explanation on the Czech situation and their COVID status during the game?

Swiss knocks out Adrian/Rossi, 15-13 in the third.
Adrian mostly went away from the quick and varied offense that worked so well earlier in the quad and even in Cancun. Everything I saw from them in Tokyo were your standard up and down sets. But neither one of them is big or dynamic enough to play that way at this level. Just wondering what the thinking was.

And I keep saying he’s smart enough to quit doing the knuckle line because he only scored like 1 time on it. And he keep doing and doing crazy.

Carambula said on his Instagram that he’s happy to be out of the Olympics

I respect the honesty. This can't be how any athlete imagined the Olympic experience would go. No fans, not even family. Tight protocols and questionable contact tracing procedures. Battling for 3-4 years for this to be the end would be unfortunate. I understand it's still the Olympics and it's better than them not happening at all, but I can see where he's coming from. I'd be curious if he actually elaborates on this post.

I think thats just Adrian. Does his own thing and constant DGAF mode. It's easy to tell from a distance the whole situation stinks. I feel bad for the old guys especially who don't have another run ahead.

And now he’s stuck in a quarantine hotel due to no fault of his own and unable to train, practice, or enjoy the Olympic experience that he’s so familiar with. You wonder about his motivation level at this point. I hope this doesn’t happen, but I could see him just saying f it and mailing it in so he can go home.

Does anyone know the playoff schedule? I see that the matches are just about set (except for luckly losers). When would Gibb Bourne play? Germany hasn't been playing as well/coming off an injury, hopefully we can get that done!!
