    This thread keeps track of major upsets...

    #1: Du Li was denied CHN's first gold in women’s 10m air rifle when the heavy favorite finished fifth and left in tears.

    Ya, that's HUGE!

    Possible one brewing: Sweden women's soccer team (ranked #3) might not qualify for the QF. Depends on the 3rd set of group matches. They're probably done if Canada beats them :)

    If Canada beats Sweden that's a miracle on it's own already :D
