    Yeah, I'm noticing that some sports allow live replays, for example, and others don't. Flag football does, softball doesn't.

    Yeah, there is no skill element at all, just pure muscle. Watching Big China vs Little China in the softball, and Little Chine clearly much better, as you would expect from an actual baseball-playing nation.

    How come Argentina are so bad, then?

    It seems to involve a lot of talking & shouting, put it that way.

    One of this season's long term injured returns to action in this weekend - Keely Hodgkinson. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/articles/c3v96162zr1o But no signs of good news for Jakob Ingebritsen.

    Auugh and pressure pays off, just cannot find winners at 9-9!!
  7. Grassmarket
    And Holland take it 3-1! And we also have Sambo starting, which is a combat sport, not to be confused with Samba in Latin Dancing, which is NOT a combat sport.

    At last the True World Games starts with Women's Softball! And to mark the occasion, everyone is using their formal names - The People's Republic of China play the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

    They seem to have made a mess of the coverage here, but basically it is the same as an ITT in cross country skiing - you have to have commentators who know who the athletes are, multiple fixed points on the course to know who is gaining and losing time and plentiful graphics.

    All these games go back to monks in the Middle Ages who used to keep fit by putting leather gloves on their hands and hitting a hard leather ball like a baseball against a wall. This game is called Fives. As time went by, rubber balls, wooden floors, perspex walls (for spectators) and strung rackets like small tennis rackets made for a much faster and more popular game. Fives - Wikipedia

    Quite enjoying this fistball. It's like volleyball, but for normal sized people. fought hard to.win one set now are no more Mr Nice Guy.

    It's like Nordic Combined. Every few years they go on this kick wherein they introduce all sorts of new kinds of race formats, but once the Olympics come round it is back to the good old Gundersen again.

    Diamond League is also back this weekend from . The main meet is on Saturday, but there are three Women's Field Events on Friday night, which will hopefully be televised internationally. Silesia - Silesia

    Norwegian jumpers & team charged over the suits issue from the end of last season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c5y33zg5n0yo

    Looks like very weak refs: in the Commonwealth Games the spectators don't permit that kind of nonsense.

    Always the same on turnaround Monday at the big Games! Old sports , new sports not ready to start.

    It is basically just canoeing, so once you strip out all the extraneous stuff like drumming, any nation that has lots of strong canoe paddlers will be good at dragon boat. If anything it's even easier, because you don't have to worry about balance, which is crucial in canoeing.

    Missed this yesterday, but Victor Lagelotti of Ineos became the first-ever rider from to win a World Tour race when he took Stage 6 of the Tour de Pologne.

    Final 4x400m Gold goes to a very strong team.
  24. Grassmarket
    lose a 4x400m to late injury, so Becker who won the 800m about one hour ago has to run again & gets Silver! Gold.
  25. Grassmarket
    Heptathlon comes down to the 800m race - Koscak beats Krizst!
