Lagaet goes down with an injury. I think that’s the first time I’ve see someone injured in a battle even though I’m sure it’s rather common…

Yang with a total collapse. Szocs comes back from 1-3 to win the gold medal

Yang and Szocs heading into a seventh game to decide the gold medal

already out of the women’s bracket in breaking. A bit of a surprise to me.

Yeah, they finally added the ski jumping stream.

gets a gold medal in muaythai

Neither that nor ski jumping are on europeangames.tv

Men’s sabre was like 90% screaming, 10% actual fencing when I tried to watch it the other day

Why aren’t the table tennis medal matches being broadcast?

Straight bellyflop from 10m for Bond She seems to be okay though.

If chess were to be included in the Olympics, I’d suggest a tournament in the classic format with 16 players per gender. It would be a full round robin lasting the duration of the Games.

It was much worse in San Salvador last night, and they were still holding events, so I guess it should be fine

I think there are some innovative things that could be done with chess and broadcast technology. It’s arguably one of the most popular and well played sports not on the program.

It looks like the dressage team event has been canceled as well. Equestrian qualification is going to be mess this cycle.

It was getting ridiculously unsafe as I wrote above.

Wilson 4th in the men’s 100m backstroke

Ah, full on rainstorm at the venue. Race are going ahead though.

Personally, I had them ranked above Cuba as well. They look much better in the team event than in the duet and solo.

Britton made to the men’s quarterfinals in table tennis. He lost to Martínez 4-2 unfortunately

Yeah, it all goes back to the current attitude of cutting athletes and events over finding other ways to reduce expenses or better allocate quotas.

All of this evening’s swimming finals have been postponed according the results system…

This discussion off topic a bit, so maybe it can be moved elsewhere. However, I would add that I’m not personally under the belief that something needs to be a sport to be included in the Olympic Games. The ancient editions were meant to celebrate the full extent of humanity, and had musical contests and whatnot. I’d love to see artistic competitions return in some form. I think chess opens up a lot of possibilities for the Olympic Movement. I’m nearly certain that I’m in the minority on this, but I think it’s worth thinking about what those mediums of competition can add to the Games.

I caught a brief glimpse of the results at the venue (CCS Channel finally aired the broadcast feed right after the final athlete had gone 😑) It looked like individual quotas for . is listed as DNF in the results, and I believe was not allowed to continue after the second vet inspection. I am also super confused about the status of the team event

I guess it can reasonably assumed then that the two candidates in talks with the EOC are . Link: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1138211/capralos-two-cities-2027
