I’m watching on YouTube, TV, and the Olympic Channel at the same time, but not “live”

Nope, there's live sports going on and I'm watching three things at the same time, no time for non-sports stuff

Just saw the girls beach volleyball draw, and its so unbalanced!

one group has Russia, current U19 world champs, Canada fifth and Brazil 9th, while another has Peru/Mozambique/Sierra Leone all of which didn't even qualify. So one of the first 3 will be out after the first round, while one of the latter three will make the final 16!

On the bright side, there are enough teams to have a round of 16, which is already a million times better than the fields in, say, the boxing

Hey, I like the boxing format (although they should use 8 instead of 6)

Any championship to be taken seriously should have, at the very least, 16 athletes...

Fair, I actually think the YOG qualification should work like this:

1) Every NOC gets 4 athletes to use in any event they want - 824 Athletes

2) Every Individual sport gets 32 male and 32 female quotas to distribute as they wish - 1,664 Athletes

3) Beach Volletball gets 32 teams per gender - 128 athletes

4) Basketball gets 20 teams per gender - 160 athletes 

5) Beach Handball gets 12 teams per gender - 240 athletes

6) Field Hockey gets 12 teams per gender - 216 athletes 

7) Futsal gets 12 teams per gender - 240 athletes

8) Rugby Sevens gets 6 teams per gender - 144 athletes 

9) The IOC will allocate the last 884 quotas to make sure that all individual events have 16 entries and pair events have 8

Total Athletes - 4500
