Yeah out of all the martial arts, Karate is the one with the most set winners. Good karatekas rarely lose at the top level.

Well there are a few Portuguese speaking African nations (  off the top of my head), but that is a good question. It shouldn’t been there either way.

 is the only Spanish speaking African country (at least as the main language). I’m not sure about their Portuguese credentials.

RSA f...d  everybody in swimming as usual

 

[bestmen 2,904]

there are 4 medals in badminton ?

[thepharoah 2,413]

our performance overall is seriously below the bar , even in Swimming we should have topped SA without Chad le clos and shonemaker and a list of swimmers participating in juniors WCH , rowing was really bad , taekwondo we lost 8 finals which's something really unacceptable , hopefully it won't be repeated in Karate where our athletes will face a lot of Moroccans in the finals , equesterian only a silver with 2 supposed to be world class riders participating , ofc Nayel had a very tough luck at final round , but overall very bad result , only table tennis satisfied me with winning 2 Olympic quotas and Judo was quite surprising for me as we participated with the 2nd team

weightlifting will start tomorrow , here the sport is a piece of cake for all nations want to climb medals table as it'll provide 3 medals in each weight category for Snatch , C&J and total

They don't actually speak Portuguese there, but somehow the government added Portuguese as an official language so they could have be part of better economic deals with Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking nations, as far as I know. Weird.
