Lol, surfing is even less audience friendly than sailing.

Canada obviously took a hit in the gold medal column thanks to not sending its strongest team, but also suffering here are Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela. On the flip side Brazil, Mexico and Argentina are performing better, but Mexico is getting an extra boost due to the new events added to the program where they have currently won five gold medals from their current total of 17.

 

Four actually: women's poomsae, pair poomsae, men's relay (modern pentathlon) and men's 1m springboard.

 

The other thirteen events were on the 2015 Games program.

But is youth appealing according to Gold Medalist 1976, fencing, Thomas Bach

 

Indeed, if the commentator doesn't know the rules and how scoring is given, audience at home will barely know what's happening, unless one of the surfers is on World League and the other is from Bhutan.

Correct, for whatever reason it registered in my head that you won gold in women's 1m springboard.

So basically surfing is like halfpipe with no tricks. Only these athletes are stars, while Elizabeth Swaney is proclaimed "cheater" for no reason at all.

Diana Durango may also obtain a quota.

I counted on day 1 of the competition, and I’m not joking here. There were 12, 12 people in the seating area. There was more support staff and volunteers then fans.

Yeah, surfing is more replay friendly thanks to editing. I don't think an event needs to be audience friendly to be in the games.

@hckosice 312 penalties for Peru in C1 women's
