It's a different problem in UK. The funding is being cut all across the boards as the "winning at all cost" mentality has become untenable for social injustice reasons. It's all about welfare issues of those second-rate athletes so the best funded and most successful sports will have to take a massive pay cut.

The girl scored like 7 pts in like five seconds and that looks to be over.

Sofia Pozdniakova wins 15-11! Velikaya was 5-2 and 8-7 up but the second half was all about her opponent. Father must be proud

I agree. The Nassar scandal must have put off a lot of parents to send their kids into gymnastics. US men have struggled for a while and the women's future looks fairly bleak when Biles retires too.

wins a bronze medal in men's foil.

Manon Brunet looked really pleased with that medal.

In other words - zero

Does has a realistic chance to win any individual medals for people not named Peaty?

Ono defends the title after 11 minute battle!

What a clusterfuck! We lost to China 19-21. Terrible 2pt %.

That was ultra quick. Bronze for Mongolia!

An wins the first bronze in men's 73 kg. vs next.

Here's the video if anyone is interested:

That's what happens in a sport where counter-attacks are allowed to score points. It's not fencing when right of attack matters.

Cysique was DQ for a head dive.

DQ for Second gold for

Klimkait wins bronze in golden score. She was in control for most of the fight.

Yoshida wins bronze in the 57 kg. That was one-sided.

I have a feeling Velikaya will not take a third individual silver well Can Pozdniakova repeat her father's success?

Margelidon will fight for bronze.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that too. Yeah, just a complete mishit by IOC when trying to attract new fanbase for whatever reason. I don't see this event having any sort of staying power since in Paris we'll probably see more 13 year old kids.

They probably knew the decision would be unpopular no matter whom they chose so they tried to delay it until the last possible moment. I can understand that logic.

I don't hear a lot of positives about the skateboarding. Hey, who ever thought that adults actually will NOT get excited with random kids competing at the Olympics. I'm sure those medals won by 13 year olds look record-breaking on paper but why give this event an Olympic status? How many 14-15 year olds kids over the world will actually turn on the TV to specifically watch this? Because it sure looks like the adults have better things to follow at the Games. Coyping of the slopestyle in summer version doesn't work for one reason. At the winter Games usually the same nations dominate the events. At the summer games every nation has something to cheer for w/o having to add anything new. IOC struck out swinging with the skateboarding, I wonder how long appeasing of the 13 year old kids lasts?

Paula Badosa played a high-class match. This was a deserved win in the end.

Nora Gjakova in the final. Yoshida is the first who underperforms.
