Both weren't great 

BMX was time trial so nothing much interesting actually. 

Better than nothing, which I’ll gladly take any day. The aerobic stream was fine. Unfortunately, I missed the first few athletes.

First time I’ve ever seen BMX Flatland broadcast at a multi-sports games.

So in the news, there are two Malaysian rhythmic gymnasts who both awarded the gold because they scored the exact same score but with different E-score. The technical delegate then changed the result and relegated the other one to silver position, as per FIG rules. But the handbook doesn't mention such tie-breaker and Malaysia protested the decision.

They've reinstated the gold medal after the Malaysians appealed to the organizing committee.

And now also that women's breaking medals (at least in the web).

 

But three sets of canoeing medals are still not showing

 

Man, this is confusing

So there is a technical delegate, one can assume to make sure FIG rules are followed, and then FIG rules are specifically not followed?

It looks like the organisers changed their minds and decided to make women’s breaking a medal event even though there were only two athletes entered. Same with water polo for women. Initially, they weren’t going to award bronze medals because there were only three teams entered but now the official website shows the bronze medals awarded to the Philippines.

 

Canoeing. I’m confused with what’s showing on the official website as well. It seems like there were six events held instead of seven. Looks like the kayak singles got cancelled.

I think what happened is that the technical handbook included rules to break ties during the qualification stage. But there were no rules about breaking ties during the finals. So the Malaysians had a reason to feel aggrieved
