Men's final should be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted July 17, 2022 #453 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Finally caught up with the gold medal match in beach handball. Qatari player throwing a hissy fit about not touching the cord, even though the instant replay showed that he definitely did touch it, was just hilarious. Very deserved red card was awarded. Good riddance. We finish with seven medals (2 golds + 5 silvers) in beach handball, boules, kickboxing, karate and finnswimming. Really an exceptional performance all-around. It all started with those hugely surprising finnswimming medals, and it just kept going. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 18, 2022 #454 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Closing ceremony was much better than the opening ceremony. Transitions were still rough, but artist segments utilized the space better and we’re just more enthralling. Chengdu 2025 segment was gorgeous in person. “Sport has the power to change the world.

hckošice 13,217 Posted July 18, 2022 #455 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Slovakia at the World Games 2022 1 - 1 - 2 Slovakia ended its participation at the Birmingham 2022 World Games with 4 medals, one gold, one silver and two bronze. The Gold came in the last day of competitons after Monika Chochlíková was appointed winner of Muay Thai W -51kg Gold Medal Bout against the Reigning world champion Meriem El-Moubarik from --------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Day 10 Results Sunday 17th Muay Thai: -51kg W Gold Medal Match Monika Chochlíková 30 - 27 Meriem El-Moubarik GOLD MEDAL Slovakia will return from Alabama witha Gold Medal. The medal finally came in the last possible discipline with Slovak participation on the final competitive day of the Games. Monika dominated her Under 51Kg class category and earned the Muay Thai Flyweight gold, as she mentioned to the media right after her triumph, the gold was a great satisfaction for her for the unlucky and botched kickboxing from earlier this week.

phelps 6,795 Posted July 18, 2022 #456 Share Posted July 18, 2022 good, but not exceptional final result for Italy... we failed to reach the 50 medal target (by just 1, but still) and we're down from 16 to 13 gold medals from the past Games in Wroclaw... very good outcome in Speedskating and Archery, below expectations Finswimming and, above all, Roller Skating (it was an Italian clean sweep 4 years ago)... expecting more also from Karate, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Canoe Polo... I don't know why we didn't even participate in Sport Climbing... unfortunately, no really surprising gold came to help the cause... more in general, awful TV/streaming coverage...surely, the worst aspect of these Games...

Better coverage? That would have been fairly unrealistic. Quality of sports coverage has really gone downhill since the pandemic started. Remember all those lovely shooting finals in Tokyo where the audience was left literally clueless since there was no graphics? Yeah, for me this was above average, for what it's worth. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't shooting always impossible to follow at the Olympics? Although this time was the worst of all, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
