thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted July 27, 2021 #73 Share Posted July 27, 2021 On the one hand, I loved skateboarding and it's one of the five Olympic sports I'll focus on watching from now on. On the other hand, surfing is very boring to watch with or without Brazilians competing. It takes too long, the moments where it gets exciting are too few and far between and, to be honest, it's not even really that exciting. It's weird because this is a sport that belongs to the Summer Olympics, but I just can't force myself to watch it anymore. I'll just look for the results after the competition is over. pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,156 Posted July 27, 2021 #75 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Wright narrowly wins the bronze medal on the men's side. As a result, North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania all win Olympic medals in surfing's debut. I am pretty sure an Olympic sport where every continent except Europe wins a medal is unprecedented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
