Mixed competition in Judo seems like a odd thing. French guy is 62 kilos heavier than the Japanese guy :D

Watched some new sports today:

Windsurfing - didn't realise the board doesn't touch the water

Dressage - WTF is that all about, the commentary was hilarious

Gymnastics - Jesus they are good at what they do, spinning around upside down and still managing to land on their feet. Simone Biles is on her own planet

I usually only watch the track and field events

I can’t believe the walking race is still a thing, utterly stupid concept.

They should make it like the swimming medleys, with different styles - one mile walking, one mile hopping, one mile crawling, one mile freestyle silly walk, etc.

Bol is amazing, and to think there is an even better runner in the hurdles. Looking forward to that duel

So Shelly Ann wasn’t allowed in for her warm up and now will miss the 100m final. What a cock up by the organisers. 
 

Never mind lol that info was from my uncle whose been shouting in patois, I’ve just seen she’s injured

Always amazes me how many runners have big chunky necklaces & watches on. Sure i doub't it causes that much additional drag but in a race that lasts less than 10 seconds and can be won/lost but hundredths of a second why on earth would you want to carrying potentially an additional half a kilo with you down the track.

That and the Flo-Jo nails that's still somehow a fashion among runners.
