  1. Lol apparently there are *11* Olympic gold medallists from this event. So more French judokas are going to have Olympic gold medals from Tokyo than Japanese ones.
  2. Wow, nine individual golds for Japan but they lose the team event to France, who has one individual gold. Insane.
  3. The single gender version with five judoka teams is def better.
  4. From the team event, as we all expected. I bet a bunch of people had Japan winning this event in their "most likely gold" predictions... and ya know I may have been one of them D:
  5. Japan now cannot win the team event without having to go through the lottery tie breaker.
  6. TBH I think corruption and incompetence from the IWF is an even bigger issue than doping (well, they are linked, part of the reason there is so much doping is because of the corruption within the sport). The IWF is def an F tier world governing body across the board. The only thing they have going is that their sport is entertaining when presented the right way.
  7. Lol Wolf just looks tiny compared to Riner.
  8. There are also no such thing as a lock in an individual apparatus event. Just ask McKayla Maroney.
  9. I really hate that this bullshit unfair mixed team event that absolutely shouldn't be in the Olympics because it is an absolutely unfair format is delivering in terms of entertainment.
  10. Is France going to win Japan's free gold medal?
  11. The gymnastics podcast I listen to says that based on current form they think Andrade is the favourite on the vault. Very far from a lock though.
  12. Real shame it's basically being decimated next Olympics (five weight classes w/ ten lifters each)
  13. I expect a couple more goals by the end of this injury time xD
  14. Paris will also not have public health related difficulties (God willing).
  15. Clarisse Agbegnenou is pretty good yo, beating the Olympic champion of a higher weight class.
  16. Ya I figured @Dnl and @Maxim Fastovsky were both going to be happy :P Really happy for Muki in particular, it's about time he gets an Olympic medal.
  17. TBH the scheduling of these final sessions is not ideal. Apparently the ITF wants tennis to be held over eleven days in Paris (instead of nine) and that would probably be a big improvement.
  18. Barty wins the battle of the world number 1s with superior mental fortitude xD
  19. was completely shut out of the medals until now xD
  20. That's really not what he's in Tokyo for...
  21. These Olympics are basically a horror movie for Djokovic fans...
  22. I feel pretty impartial in my criticism, both because Canada didn't qualify and because I began criticizing the format literally the day it was announced :P
  23. What a crazy upset and a crazy bronze medal game.
  24. This format does not strike me as particularly fair.
