@hckošice is going to wake up to some good news from karate 

[Olympian1010 7,971]

Kvesic  gets disqualified by yuko count with one second to go in the match. Madani  takes a bronze to home crowd delight…

 

Kvesic wasn’t very happy about how that played out. There were some he clearly earned, but I didn’t see each one.

Badawy  wins the closest of matches. Tied 6-6, corner judges score the match 2-2, head official gives him the victory.
 

Personally, I thought  had the better fight.

 sent a recording of their national anthem that sends like it was recorded off a 1920s radio. The quality of the audio is comically bad, and we’ve got to experience it twice this evening

A couple of weather related delays and postponements this evening. Crazy day of weather. Insane heat in the morning, and torrential thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening.

 

Wroclaw 2017 also had some thunderstorm induced delays. The World Games may need to come with their own extreme weather warnings at this point

How come they suddenly have a good team in powerlifting? Did the organizing committee make an error by placing them under Virgin Islands instead of US 😂 

I’d have to look into it. I started noticing their success around 2018/2019. I’m pretty certain they were given the right nationality.

Oh wow   our first 2 medals in day 2, that is something I would not have expected at all.

 

We have here only 12 athletes (The Standard Dancing pair had to withdraw after the lady sprained her ankle during training ) and they already won 2 medals haha (Still Chochlíková to come conquering the Sweet Alabama in Kickbox & Muay Thai )
