At least I find this entertaining, I've also made the mistake of watching karate's kata (or any, really) events in Tokyo...

Ya, I find the breaking way too subjective to be a sport, but IMO it's at least entertaining. It's kinda fun to watch, and I've enjoyed watching some previous events. Don't want it in the Olympics, but I'm not that upset that it's here as a one time curriosity.

 

Fully agree that the MCs are incredibly annoying xD

This is a sport? Olympic sport? Ok...

Mr Bach must include e-sports. It fits perfectly his "agenda".

No, world ranking. Serpentine system. If some of these girls didn't bother to participate in competitions to score points, it's on them. 

so you basically saying that even competing athletes don't take this sport at Olympics seriously?

Relatable  (although for me I haven’t actually bothered to try and watch yet)

 

Only the medal matches tomorrow, and I’ll probably be doing/watching something else at the same time.

Some of these b-girls looks more likely to be a bloke than any Algerian female boxer..

Same feeling.

I wouldn't say that means they don't take it seriously, what they might not take too seriously is the concept of a world ranking.

Yeah that would be like saying athletes which do not compete at every World Cup event do not care about the sport.
