For 2022 in Dakar, athletes will need to swim to their boats first before starting the course.

No they’ll have to run 125m, dodging hurdles at the 35m, 65m, 110m mark. Then shot a football into a goal. Use parkour to get over a wall. Break dance thier way through a club. Dive out of the club’s window. Swim to thier boat. Shoot a water polo ball into a goal. Get in thier boat, slide down a ramp while shooting a pistol at a target. Then paddle a 250m course through rapids, and finally dock thier boat get out a throw a javelin through the wheel of a bicycle. Mixed of course

I think in Karate (unlike wrestling for example) all qualified athletes are pretty good. there are only 2-3 weak athletes in general. they wanted the best here not all continents represented probably they had their own reason. they have few chances to show Karate to the world and IOC and they didn't want one-sided matches here.

 

I believe they will use the same format in Tokyo but except we will have a bronze medal match there. even though I'm not sure. that's just my guess based on the format they have for the World Games

 

as far as I know, for the Tokyo Games they have proposed a format that sounds like this: 2 groups of 5 fighters (round robin), then the group winners go directly to the Gold medal match and the second and third from each group go to a repechage round (2A vs 3B and viceversa), the winner of that play for bronze...

but right now it's only a proposal, the final decisions about the olympic format have yet to be taken (I know that the Italian federation have expressed their dislike for this format, they would prefer to have the top 2 in each group going to the semifinals...the group stage in any case seems to be sure with only 10 starters)...

Wow, seeing Fernando Espindola in the men's vault final not being able to start in his home Youth Olympics with some sort of injury...that is heart breaking :cry:

:champion: Yes Gold for Randall Willars in men's 10 platform :clap: Great final round for him, not perfect, but good enough to medal, especially with judges awarding scores as they wanted, very irregular 

 

Also congrats to our girl race walker for that silver and our girl boxer for securing Mexico's 12th medal. :clap:

 

Too bad our archer today got the "Serrano-Valencia" syndrome and totally failed in the most important round, still she's very good for being only 15 years old.

      From a quick look it appears that all the players in the Filipino men's and women's teams are all based in Switzerland and are Swiss-Filipino dual citizens.

      That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

      It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
