[Monzanator 4,499]

Yeah, Mancini lost to Sandra Drabik on Saturday.

[Gianlu33 4,552]

Bronze medal for Armenia in muaythai

[Gianlu33 4,552]

Italy back in the lead of the medal table

[Rafa Maciel 1,594]

OK so I tried, but after 5 minutes watching breaking, found myself having urges to gouge my eyes out and had to switch off.

 

It's an embarrassment that this is deemed worthy of an Olympic spot.  

[Gianlu33 4,552]

Breking is comic. Really.

[Olympian1010 7,971]

I get not wanting breaking the Olympics, but I’ve found enjoyable to watch both in-person and through broadcast. The judging can be annoying, but those issues are with other subjective sports too. People here just want to hate it because they’re upset with the IOC’s decision.  

[Monzanator 4,499]

Breakdance has zero history as a sport and it won't build any in the short attention span generation IMO. Latino dances have a better claim to become an Olympic sport.

 

Plus like I've said before, adults simply do NOT watch children doing sports unless they are parents of kids involved. There is no way getting around that. 15 year olds being world champions in breakdancing is a story but most people watching Olympics are... surprise, surprise... adults!

Next gen sport for Games - Tik Tok challenges. Who could drink more water without going to bathroom, who could take most dangerous but also nicest pic on the train...

I mean...gosh...
