    Kelly Slater competing in the Olympics would be extremely special. He’s a big reason the sport even made it to the Olympics in the first place.

    Big news: world number one (HAW) John John Florence is out for the rest of the year with a torn ACL. This means he is extremely unlikely to qualify for the Olympics since the US selection is based on results from this year. The door is now open for Kelly Slater, Connor Coffin or Seth Moniz to grab the second spot on the US team.

    Latvia sure laid an egg there. I sure didn’t think Sweden was going to make the quarters...

    Honestly, as much as it sucks for the athletes... I’m extremely glad kumite isn’t sticking around. I tried watching it multiple times and I never got the appeal at all. Kata is at least somewhat unique.

    I think that Chile proved in the Las Vegas 7s that they can put up a good fight when they are having a good match. They didn't really seem to be having a good tournament for whatever reason, though.

    Okay that buzzer beater celebration by Serbia was cool as heck.
  7. NearPup
    Lol Belgium - Serbia game suspended with a minute left due to a water leak.

    It’s the only way the ITTF figured out to prevent China from sweeping the podium.

    There is something kind of deliciously ironic about an Algerian complaining about another country having too many foreign born citizens on their team...

    Extremely happy England / GB qualified. It was a travesty that they weren’t able to send a team in 2016, and this very much feels like a small bit of justice.

    ...you do realize what the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is, right?
  12. NearPup
    Well, that and the Olympics is actually important in women’s football, unlike in men’s football.
  13. NearPup
    Correct, along with the winner of Italy - Netherlands and Germany - Sweden.
  14. NearPup
    Good. Wave pools should be a last resort.
  15. NearPup
    The Olympics are close to as important as the World Cup in the women’s game, if not as important.

    He’s American. Got San Marino citizenship through his mom.

    I don’t think it’s allowed for a ref from CONCACAF or UEFA to handle it.
  18. NearPup
    Don’t forget that the goal was disallowed by the referee that was appointed because obviously a French-speaking Canadian ref would have a bias towards France. ( /s)

    That’s football for ya.
  20. NearPup
    As opposed to Cameroon who played very beautiful football?

    At this point I don’t see Skateboarding, Surfing or Climbing going anywhere anytime soon, and at this point they may as well make them permanent. Breaking... I suspect that might be a one time experiment.
  22. NearPup
    Not a surprising outcome given the farcical format. Hopefully they improve things by the 2023 tournament.
  23. NearPup
    I don’t get how people see this as a corrupt decision. The IOC went with the safest option, which is completely understandable given their current situation. Milan just had a good bid.
  24. NearPup
    I don’t think anybody predicted that France and Romania would play to a scoreless draw.
  25. NearPup
    I think it’s time to do some change in the coaching staff. If heads don’t roll after this I will be extremely disappointed. This was a disastrous tournaments, scoring four goals in four matches when you got to play Cameroon and New Zealand, really? Time to rebuild, and not around Sinclair.
