2008 Summer Olympics highlights, Day 15, August 23

August 24, 2008 Written by nicolae

Angel Di Maria, Argentina

General
  • After winning its 37th medal (a bronze medal in the K2 women's 500 meters event), France is assured of winning at least 40 medals, a feat it had last achieved at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics.
Athletics
  • In a major upset, Belgium's Tia Hellebaut wins the women's high jump event, defeating the favourite and world champion Blanka Vlasic of Croatia and ending Vlasic's run of 38 wins in international competition.
  • Sudan's Ismail Ahmed Ismail becomes his country's first Olympic medalist, taking silver in the men's 800 metres event.
Boxing
  • Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko defeats Frenchman Khedafi Djelkhir in the first round of the gold medal fight in the featherweight category, the referee stopping the fight after less than two minutes after Djelkhir received his third standing count.
Diving
  • In a major upset, Australia's Matthew Mitcham wins the men's 10 m platform gold medal, scoring 112.10 points on his final dive and preventing the Chinese team from achieving a clean sweep of the diving events.
Table tennis
  • The Chinese men follow up the women with a medal sweep of their own, with Ma Lin winning the gold, Wang Hao winning the silver for the second successive Olympics, and Wang Liqin taking the bronze medal in the men's singles. This completes a unique achievement for China, taking all the medals for which they are eligible in table tennis: gold, silver and bronze in the men's and women's singles, and gold in the men's and women's team tournaments.
Taekwondo
  • Angel Matos of Cuba is banned from taekwondo for life after attacking the referee in the men's +80 kg event. Matos had been disqualified from his bronze medal bout for taking too long to return to the action after being injured.
