Well, I used to cheer for , being underdogs and all.

 

But it's impossible to be their fan anymore after witnessing that travesty called Ashgabat 2017. That was beyond pathetic.

Almost as bad as his Yemeni rivals.

What happened there? I think I missed that due to time difference and live stream problems or a lack of interest or something

I decided to watch the YEM-TKM wrestling match after all the fuss around here.

I know nothing about wrestling but I wish it was like Judo, when the match is over once you throw the opponent on their back. It was sad to watch the guy getting thrown then being rolled over like a dumpling in hot oil.

I can't believe North Korea will probably lose the silver medal on women's artistic gymnastics. Japan was solid but the North Korean girls were fantastic.
