I know it's a discipline but I wouldn't be shocked if free riding got added. Other than ski mountaineering I'm not sure what sports (that aren't under the FIS umbrella, like speed skiing) are "locally relevant". Ice climbing, maybe?

Unfortunate, but at least it still leaves in a strong position to qualify for Milan. Very exciting to see with a real medal chance in curling.

Yes. The commentator thought it was an automatic miss.

The Korean keeper was off his line. Very easy black and white call, just not one that would have happened without VAR.

wins the penalty shoot-out 11-10. is out for the first time since 1984. thanks @Joshfor cursing , his powers to cause last minute, ridiculous comebacks is unparalleled :P

I love it when comentators don't know the rules for what happens with penalty shoot-outs when one team has a red card and runs out of takers.

Again xD

wins the penalty shoot-out 5-4 …except they don’t, VAR rescues !

and are headed to extra time tied at 2. Korea is down to ten (and lost their coach) do to a red card, but they somehow look more dangerous than Indonesia at the moment.

wins over 4-2 in extra time

My most anticipated event for each day: Swimming: women's 400m freestyle Fencing: women's foil Judo: women's -57kg Surfing (both men's and women's) Gymnastics: men's all around Fencing: women's teal foil Equestrian: show jumping team Athletics: men's decathlon Athletics: men's 100m Basketball: women's 3x3 Athletics: women's 3000m steeplechase Athletics: men's 3000m steeplechase Canoeing: women's C-2 500m Athletics: men's 4x100m relay Athletics: men's 800m Water Polo: men's final

Canada is really going all in on the men's eights - there will be no male rowers on the team if they fail to qualify O.o

Glenn Howard, one of the greatest curler in history (though some users on this forum might know him better as the brother of 2006 Olympic gold medalist Russ Howard) has announced his retirement. Glenn is a seventeen time Ontario champion, a four time Canadian champion, a four time World champion and was the runner-up at the 2009 Olympic trials.

actually was very close to qualifying in women's basketball last Olympics, so there is definitively a foundation there that just doesn't exist in handball.
