If you can save the video of that coconut competition it would be nice to watch. 

Thier live-streaming “service” is about as good as an amateur home video. It’s run by volunteers who are working with almost nothing to create something, so kudos to them. I do intend to save and list the livestreams, just like I did with the Med. Games. I’m kind of hoping they show the spear fishing tomorrow.

Coconut grating. Oh, boy. Now I've seen it all.

 

Ha, we laugh in the face of people who think watching karate or wushu or table tennis or modern pentathlon or something is obscure.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Guam strikes gold again in the Individual Spearfishing event. Mike Genereux caught a combined total of 177.5 lbs. of fish. The day was moderately stormy, so the total was impressive. Palau’s Luis Ongalibang took silver with a total of 143.5 lbs. of fish. Pohnpei’s day got off to a rough start when their boat broke, but after be transported by a support boat Taylor Paul managed to get bronze with a total of 126.5 lbs. of fish.

That's a rather....generous amount of fish for the winner. Badum tss.
