Shooting (rifle and pistol) is still the worst traditional Olympic discipline. Even when I watched us winning a gold medal yesterday I couldn't get excited because it's literally just watching numbers appear on a screen. I know that it can be improved with some graphics, but it would still just be a TV graphic, because irl it's an incredibly boring precision game. Skeet and trap are at least visually pleasing and appear more "physical". Even darts seem more of an actual physical sport than air rifle and air pistol. 

 

I don't know, I just don't get how this sport has 15 Olympic events. Way too much for a sport that's both visually unappealing and has low attendance even at the Summer Games. I would strip it down to 1-1 male and female rifle and pistol events and keep the 5 shotgun events. So basically drop the 6 air pistol/rifle events, down to 9 Olympic events instead of the current 15. Anything would be better than this, even E-sports.

watching the K4 final is trully sorrowful for me

 

what a shame ! dear good god, what a shame...

[Vektor 3,325]

Here we go boys, time to prove that we are improving in K4.

[Vektor 3,325]

Only 6th, barely a quota place if we would be at the WCh... This boat is still not ready and maybe it never will be. 

[Gianlu33 4,497]

4th place of the Italian K4

 

(That's still good considerating the Paris 24 Qualification)

[Vektor 3,325]

We won't win a single gold medal in the Olympic events here in Canoe Sprint... Maybe one more medal in women's K1 500m and that's it. Yikes. Ádám Varga will save their asses at the Worlds in men's K1, but besides him (and Kopasz who will miss the Worlds) this Hungarian Canoe Sprint team is very mediocre.

World champion  Omar Salim (taekwondo) pulled out of the competition, for some reason he didn't appear for the weighting. The Hungarian federation is under news blackout, they don't want to make an official statement on it. The way they handling the situation appears quite strange.
