It's nice the World Games exist, so that we can remember how great the Olympics are. 

 

I do like it though

 

I mean, certainly not as invested as I am in the Olympic, but there certainly are some sports I'd like to watch for a bit (even if only the finals), which I know I'm not gonna be following during their regular seasons or something.

Did anyone actually watch lifesaving today, btw? I'm watching the on-demand broadcast now, the first final was fine, but after that, the video is just absolutely fucked up and outright unwatchable (especially with sound on)....

No, same here.

I saw only the last two finals, but the streaming quality was awful.

 Riccardo Rancan (orienteering) and  Nina Halt (lifesaving) won the atlethe of the day prize

Same for me. Entirely unwatchable, unfortunately 

 

(and, without spoiling too much, it was a GREAT session).

Yeah I ended up just watching the results, unfortunately. One of the sports I would actually be able to understand easily (first to the finish wins, I have no idea if some dancer is doing good or something ).

Go  Donnecke/Gilbert! 

[Josh 11,492]

Well that was a bad shot by  Donnecke 

And thank god for Gilbert, gets the disc in the cage to go even with  although we’re still down two after four holes…

I prefer fistball than volleyball all the life.
