These  women are so beautiful 

I’m having a hard time focusing on the match, my eyes keep getting distracted by them

HUGE upset in 100m manikin tow!  The Australian WR holder do a terrible transition and isn't even on the podium.

Really great match so far between  Switzerland and  Sweden, crowds really getting their money’s worth. 
 

3-2  over  after one period of play.

Saw the WG medal design for the first time earlier today on their IG page, it’s a lot with designs inside and outside of it, but it’s cool I like it 

 

First time I’ve seen a medal at a multi-sports event that opens up

Like  in football, it seems that  are not very good at Dragon Board racing.  Just been beaten by a random selection of European canoeing nations.   Myanmar up next! 

Really wondered what happened, in Asian Games they seemed invincible. Indonesia only won once and that's also with a few milimetres difference

Roelof Stoetzer with an issue with his manikin during the 100m with fins, ended up with a DQ. Good thing they do so with manikins and not with men dressed in a mankini, as was @Josh's suggestion, or else he'd have drowned.

When I first heard of life saving, I have to admit I thought the athletes had to “rescue” the manikins from the ocean or a pool (either with all the lane ropes taken out and done individually or the lane ropes in and done as a race) in the fastest time, but apparently it’s just swimming with a manikin

Did they send the same squad? Or most of the names I mean.

The thing that bothers me a little about these World Games is the very long breaks between events during the same session, which, incidentally, make no sense whatsoever

Just watched one Dragon Boat race, now a 55 minute break till the next one!  Believe it is because the same crew is doing all the different formats.

 Gerig stopped by  Hedin on the breakaway!
