Just need to sort out governance. Judging seemed a bit dodgy here as well. It is a great spectator sport with great universality though. The sport just lacks so much integrity after the doping and governance scandals. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted August 3, 2022 #1092 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I quite like squash. The women’s bronze medal match was very entertaining. “Sport has the power to change the world.

orangeman 1,296 Posted August 3, 2022 #1094 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Interesting calls in squash. Even the English commentators are in disagreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 866 Posted August 3, 2022 #1095 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Are 2 entries per nation allowed in combat sport. We could have sent 2 each in wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: And another "interesting" call. Hope this isn't the new boxing where the winner is chosen before the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman 1,296 Posted August 3, 2022 #1099 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This is ridiculous. The English girl can bodycheck the Canadian and it's fine. Ridiculous. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,296 Posted August 3, 2022 #1100 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This is why this sport is not in the Olympics. England gets the gold, let's just go on with our lives, the ref has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
