  1. 1. Which is your favourite combat sport to watch at the Olympics ?



Recommended Posts

I love them all, some of them more than others, but in general combat sports are among my favourite disciplines overall...:cheer:

 

I really missed the option "all of them"...so, just to pick my no.1 in this list of nos. 1s, I opted for Fencing...:d

Easier for me to pick the one at the bottom! (Boxing)

 

Went with wrestling due to both Denmark and Sweden having decent traditions in the sport meaning that it actually gets some attention and I was pretty entertained watching some women's wrestling in London. Would love to understand judo better (I'm slowly getting there) and I enjoy fencing as well (I think it's the sport that has gained the most in interest since Rio and if I could change things in life, it would be the sport that I would have started 15 years ago).

 

But generally combat sports aren't near the top in my personal Olympic ranking.

I'm at a big disadvantage compared to you boys, coming from a country with absolutely no interest or popularity in combat sports and with even lower TV or other media time coverage (Changed miraculously a bit in wrestling after the medal collecting festival of our new Russian armada in this sport)

 

although I like to watch combat sports during the Olympics like judo or wrestling, the inability to understand or even know the basic rules (ie it's not my fault, I basically have nowhere to learn them in this country :sick:) is quite an unpleasant experience when watching. So I go for wrestling here, since it is what I follow a bit more lately, then Judo and Boxing.  In the bottom side Fencing (I have absolutely not a single clue about this sport, watching regularly at Olympics, but still can not find even which weapon is which :red: ...and I am not starting to even speak about rules..attaque de droite, touche de gauche, point..it is all what I am able to notice during matches :lol:) and Tae Kwon Do ? man, must be a fun sport but even petanque has more media attention here. :d Last Olympics we had in our TV only 5-10 minutes highlights without commentary :lol:

    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname     
    • Hurricane helene is coming , let's hide behind Nitraria  Only smart one will understand what i mean
