Also this event takes the most ridiculous events. In taekwondo there is a total of 29!! events, 13 of those are in poomsae (and different age categories, wtf!). @MHSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total respect for the people who master kata, Poomsae, aikido, etc. I just don’t think it’s worth it’s weight. Its borderline more of an artform, more than a sport. Still they appear to be around for now, so whatever. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

To be completely honest, I’m more interested in the upcoming Winter Deaflympics starting next week, and Winter YOG coming in January (I’m a big winter sports guy). Still glad to see some footage though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,071 Posted December 5, 2019 #70 Share Posted December 5, 2019 "There was much furor ahead of the kickoff of the Swimming competition, with none of the facilities reportedly ready for the events to commence. Even today, the swimmers were said to be unhappy with the facilities provided as the temperature in the pool too was below the required level. Amidst the competition, there was also a power outage, leading to a slight delay in proceedings. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
