Uhm... what sport is the Olympic Channel covering now? It's like dancing but in judo outfits... Is this Poomsae?

I agree, but for a different reason. Let's say that in this specific case, I wish the dress code was the same one adopted by Tonga. 

Though I do see myself as a traditionalist, I do really feel rather sad reading some of the comments here. It feels elitist (can't believe I'm actually using the word that I'm usually fighting against)
I do agree that the IOC are making some bad decisions. Breaking is terrible and I would prefer not having surfing or skating (at least not yetconsidering the governing situation).
But destroying the sport? In the very worst case it could be the start, but really? There are still plenty of sports for us to watch. 
I'm not gonna watch a second of surfing and the only skating will be Rune Glifbjerg's runs (if he qualifies) and it will be the same with breaking in 2024.
And yes, those quotas could have been filled by other sports or events, and I would absolutely have prefered that.
 
But come on. Show at least a little bit of respect. It's not like these sports come from nowhere. Somebody wants them in the Games, and that's not just people in the IOC. Some have been fighting for it for some time.
 
And BTW, I see plenty of skaters. It's not even that long since I could see some on the main pedestrian street in Aarhus having some fun, just as I know of a few fine places for skating in Denmark.
 
And gender equality. That's the way things are going and the IOC shouldn't really be blamed for several federations sleeping. Once again, I would prefer another approach than what taken by the IOC, but I support the idea.
Quota limits and saving money? Seriously, have you seen how bids die one by one? I would love to see the Olympics with way more events, but that would NOT be reasonable!

I understand why Karate isn't at the olympics, there's no much new it offers. It's just another combact sport in a white suit.
 
Maybe a real option it would be to have Taekwondo one games, Karate next games.

No... the Spanish Federation had no idea the Athletic event gave individual medals today, so they putted the "b team" today in orther to save the ""stars"" of the team for the repechage match.
 
I had to explain them over twitter

Well excessive manly yelling was not enough to see Russia into the semifinals in the men’s team event 

Live Results are awfull

I always root for Andorra

I feel like she's gonna get passed by because the other 3 would probably retire after Tokyo.

BIG STORY ALERT!
 

One of the users here is from the United States and had two flags, one from Israel and one from the US, as his profile picture.

I support Palestine, I'm a fan of Iceland, Palestine is part of the Olympics, so this is just me showing support.

Women's 20km race walk
 
 (1 athlete? I think it counts...)
http://www.rfea.es/competi/result2019/marcha/20km_oropesa/C73.0045.html
 
 

Group C1/C2 jumping team allocation has been made. Looks like every Group C nation is interested to compete except and .
 
C1 (Moscow) -
C2 (Budapest) -
 
So it turns out that the Moscow qualifier will be the stacked one after all. Budapest qualifier will probably be Czech Republic vs Hungary, but watch out for Slovakia!
 
Although it says that Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have "confirmed participation", I refuse to believe that.

Acording to the spanish team, no olympic quotas would be given in this World Cup due to the Pakistani team couldn't make it to India for the event.
No news on how they would be awarded in a future
