actually there is video review...

you don't see the video crew at the judges table because now they are in a separate room (upstairs, in one of the big suites of the Madrid Arena), where they can watch all the videos on multiple synchronized giant screens and let the ref know what's their decision via radio communication...

 

but still taekwondo , fencing, judo and wrestling are better as long as coaches can review referees' decisions

well no I think Karate is better , because it's too fast, comparing to Taekwondo. in taekwondo nowadays most coaches use it as a kind of "time out"

I think the video replays are shown also on the screens beside the mat, but I'm not sure they have one for each of the 5 mat during the preliminaries...

for sure during the medal rounds all the pictures will be shown on the giant screen hanging from the roof and made available to all the people on the stands...

 

p.s. however, I think coaches shouldn't interfere with the video judges...so, I guess this idea of the video room not close to the mat is quite good (of course, being the first time they use it, it needs to be improved...but I think it's the right direction...

men's team kata, semifinals: vs and vs

 

women's team kata, semifinals: vs / and vs

 

I bet on a double ESP vs JPN clash for Gold...as if nobody saw that coming...

[phelps 7,675]

and, as expected, men's team kata Gold Medal match will be between and (but Spain almost lost vs , they only got a slim 3-2 score in their favor)...

[phelps 7,675]

meanwhile the women's semis weren't so close (neither of the 2)...

 

and once again the Gold Medal match will feature the well expected and

 

kata not only is boring by itself...it's also always the same story in terms of results...
