  1. I doubt any of these happens, but lets go big: 1. Canada wins gold in a team sport (literally any of them) for the first time since 1920. 2. Canada wins gold in a swimming relay for the very first time. 3. No more COVID
  2. TBH given Saudi Arabia and Israel are unofficially sort of chill at the moment I doubt this will cause too many issues.
  3. Some clutch pitching from Goto, but this Japanese team looks very beatable.
  4. Not to mention that Softball is best on best while Baseball is a B-tier tournament.
  5. This round robin would get really, really interesting if Mexico wins here.
  6. The Australian team is definitively on a decline, tbh I'm not even sure they are a favourite to make the bronze medal match.
  7. It was more a base running error than a strategic one IMO. She potentially would have forced an interference call if she didn’t try running around the catcher.
  8. Scores a run. Not unexpected and a bit hard to see how comes back from this.
  9. Ya, my big worry is that corruption is going to be off the charts going forward.
  10. getting in the first round of the mixed doubles. Eugene Wang is gonna have a short stay in Tokyo xD
  11. Agreed. I think the Brisbane bid is great, and that they will host great Olympics, but this new bidding process lacks transparency and is rife for corruption.
  12. I actually think it's good for the IOC to show that they will accept a good bid from a "secondary" city. Brisbane is going to host great games, who cares that they aren't a major world city?
  13. This looks like an excellent street course. Full marks to the IOC, they are really good at creating venues for X-Games style events now.
  14. The batters are completely wearing down Dallas Escobedo. 100 pitches and she isn’t even out of the 4th inning. The Canadian batters are doing an amazing job extending their at bats.
  15. Combination of Italy pitching well and the US not being great on offense. US was great on defense though.
  16. Full credit to team . That was a solid performance. and do appear to be on a collision course for gold.
  17. Def seems to be an improvement over London and Rio.
  18. Softball is actually quite fast pace as far as bat and ball sports go.
  19. Despite what the IOC might think softball is not women’s baseball and baseball is not men’s softball. TBH as long as MLBers aren’t involves I’d rather see men’s softball in the Olympics over men’s baseball.
  20. The NBC graphics are absolutely gorgeous. They have very nice origami style transitions.
  21. To be fair even the Dutch team is majority North American (thanks to the various Dutch municipalities in the Caribbeans) Israel's competitiveness in baseball is brand new, they didn't really have any meaningful success before they qualified for the 2017 World Baseball Classic.
