Okay, but that is the majority of sports. I don’t think the Mesopotamians looked at a tree branch and said “I bet I could use this to vault over that bush over there.” I enjoy most sports. The beauty of multi-sport games is the diversity of the program. I don’t particularly like field hockey or fencing, but don’t think they should be off the sports program because I don’t find them appealing when others do. I would imagine there’s a significant crossover between WG and OG fans by the way. It was the public that was interested in things like breakdancing and sumo. Those drove tickets sales, with big tickets sports like lacrosse and ultimate frisbee drawing large crowds as well.

won every event in rowing this morning. Not a bad way to start the day. Side note, rowing venue looks gorgeous. I’d love to visit that lake someday.

Artistic swimming broadcast is now stuck in a loop of endless highlights. They must really be having technical problems at the venue.

I mean…it’s the one dance discipline invited with purely competition in mind. It’s been around for decades, informally maybe, but it has a vibrant history of its own. It was one of the only sports to sell out completely at The World Games last year.

Also, if want any evidence of how transcendent the film “RRR” has been, used Nantu Nantu for their free swim.

wins their first medal in rowing

Music turned off during performance in the duet free. They’ll probably get a redo.

I get not wanting breaking the Olympics, but I’ve found enjoyable to watch both in-person and through broadcast. The judging can be annoying, but those issues are with other subjective sports too. People here just want to hate it because they’re upset with the IOC’s decision.

@intoronto you’re just jealous Canada wasn’t invited

Rabess swam a steady pace to put herself in the bronze medal battle in the women’s 1500m free, but she’s out sprinted by Perez Unfortunately, Canadian medals don’t count for the medal table

Gordillo / came out of nowhere on that breaststroke leg! He takes another outside lane victory, with the Games Record (2:00.97) as well! How about for a swimming podium? Don’t think that’s seen too often.

We got a 10 men final for the men’s 200m IM. It beats a two man Final B

Harvey just misses out on a medal in the women’s 100m backstroke. She lead at the turn, but went out slightly too hard I think

De Lara with a Games Record (1:00.23) in the men’s 100m breaststroke. It’s been a good day for Mexico. joins the medal table in the same race.

Anyone find stream for table tennis and judo? I haven’t been able to find any yesterday or today. I’m not sure they’re being broadcast, but I’d like to watch if they are
