I'd go for karate being significantly worse, since it felt so...negative. Like, a DQ for kicking too hard, all those kicks and punches that were - by design - more like 'almost hits' than actual hits, it felt more like a sort of dancing than actual fighting. Not to disrespect the athletes, I'm sure it's super tough to do, but for me as a viewer it really didn't feel like a sport where the participants were going all-out and for breaking I definitely did have that feeling (like in the men's final, where both athletes at the end were absolutely done in terms of energy left).
I'm aware holding back is kind of part of karate as a sport, but that's also why I just didn't like it in the slightest
@Sindo Maybe it's my laptop again but "Latest Posts around Totallympics" seems to be 'stuck' on the side, when opening a thread it stays there, so that the space for the actual thread is suddenly a lot smaller, which is visually rather...distracting (kind of like that thing on Wikipedia that's all the time asking which letter size you want)
Is this just a mistake for which the solution is waiting a bit, or is it a setting that one can turn off in their personal settings or something? It wasn't there earlier today.
Agreed. Which is why I'd like for demonstration sports to be there again, including real coverage and everything, since that would open things up a bit more for adding sports for one Olympics without people expecting it to stick around necessarily.
