Ukraine won 3 gold medals against Russians in their, as they swear "national" sport sambo, proving that these losers shouldn't even be here at the first place

Am I crazy or is Combat Sambo 10x more entertaining than any single Olympic combat sport?

Wushu commentary is just outright special  

 

They refuse to name any fighter during the fight, everyone is just relegated to "the blue corner" or "the red corner" (as in, "nice left kick from red corner", "good high kick from blue corner!") and sometimes "Iran/China/Vietnam wins" just to not have to name the fighter  

 

There's also quite a "everyone is a winner" vibe. "Congratulations to both finalists!", although one is obviously rather disappointed  

 

The action itself is definitely nice though, I think my favourite combat sport of these World Games.

 

Edit: I mean, come on. "The mouth piece came out of the mouth of red corner, because of the side kick of blue corner." The athletes must remain anonymous, is the thought behind this, I think?

Cool to see racquetball has started, the extremely rare time for arguably the outright worst country in the world of sports to shine

It's not Bolivia's fault that they put all of their skills into racquetball.
