Watching Women’s Flag Football. USA v. Canada in a tight one. There’s been like 7 dropped passes in the first half, tough to watch.

Early day 7 thoughts that no one asked for.

 

- So many missed extra points in flag football, let them kick it instead.

 

- Drone Racing is unwatchable.

 

- Doubles Raquetball looks like a good way to get hurt.

 

- Canoe Polo, I’m really trying to get on board. It’s just not happening.

In Racquetball 7 out the 8 athletes at Quarterfinals Men's Singles are from America, and all athletes at Quartefinals Women's Singles are from America.

"The Kazakhstani athlete" in the duathlon.

 

Large "KSA" and a very Arab sounding name on his back.

I'm watching powerlifting and, meh. Honestly, the athletes don't seem to be in control of the weight like in weightlifting. Here, you just have to hint at it and the exercises seem much “easier”. A big nope

Yeah, there is no skill element at all, just pure muscle.

 

Watching Big China vs Little China in the softball, and Little Chine clearly much better, as you would expect from an actual baseball-playing nation.

Multi-sport games require a ridiculous ammount of logistics, and each sport has some differences to the next. I mean, it's essentially an handful of on-going productions that are related, but also very different. And that's something the organizers, broadcasters and data providers have to juggle together.

Yeah, I'm noticing that some sports allow live replays, for example, and others don't.  Flag football does, softball doesn't.
