PS: Iran also qualified in this weight but since the kid lost the final to this Russian kid in a very stupid way in last seconds and pissed off the coaches. they decided to pick up 65kg instead which was a mistake IMO. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitinsanker 179 Posted October 12, 2018 #1655 Share Posted October 12, 2018 really pointless mixed NOC team event in shooting ................................ irritated by the concept ..... the strongest shooters are paired with the weakest shooters from the other gender and lose in the first round ......... it is a punishment for winning a medal.............................. can somebody tell me what is the point i think they should pair the shooters of the same country together and if there is no opposite gender representative have a mixed NOC team ( the way they are doing in TT ) strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitinsanker 179 Posted October 12, 2018 #1656 Share Posted October 12, 2018 half way through the YOG Impressions - Loved - vibe of beunos aires venues and the city itself ........ seems a cool place to be @LDOG ( you lucky Dog ) Loved - Sports climbing - the event is a joy to watch and the athleticism of the climbers is something to see Loved - Breaking ...... was jaw dropping at times and just so much fun...... loved the youthful vibe Loved - BMX mixed again a great addition , it had me at the edge of my seat Loved - Hockey 5s - so much more interesting than the standard hockey , found the dribbling skills and field skills so important compared to the normal hockey which seems to overemphasize penalty corners Hated - Futsal - not something I enjoyed watching ... did not have the theatre of football Hated - Basketball 3s - took a visual delight and cut it in half Hated - Mixed NOC events in most sports did not see the point of it .....allow mixed gender teams from the same country if they are already there Hated - The athetics modification into stages and combinations - atheletics is already the creme of any multi-event and the most watched ........ why change perfection strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
