Nibbled at a bunch of stuff tonight.
Boxing - the men’s heavyweight gold medal bout between Cuba & ROC was awesome. The winner was brilliant, outclassing his opponent with exquisite evasions and countering with oblique ripostes. Luved it.
Equestrian - I wanted to see the sumo wrassler but got sidetracked by Springsteen (not ‘the boss’ - his daughter). This is a sport of the privileged - the rich and the royals. That being said, Springsteen is a hotty horsewomen and I hope she does well.
Rhythmic Gymno - I luv hoop, ball & ribbon, but am not into clubs that much. What is up with gymno twins? There was GB’s Gadirova twins in artistic and now ROC has the Averina twins in rhythmic. Again kinda hot and they don’t have to resort to teeny beach volleyball bikini bottoms. I know, the gymnasts are mostly teens and that’s wrong - being in that world throughout my daighter’s Elementary years checked that. I’m just saying there’s a great potential reboot of Gymkata here...
Karate has been cool. I enjoyed the kata - great intensity and they didn’t sell out to spectacle like wushu. Kumite was okay - I felt there were more hits scored than they counted but I guess like in kendo, you hits not only have to land but they must be super clean too. I like it better than TKD.
Sport Climbing was amazeballs. This and Karate are really working for me as the nooBs. Skateboarding was disappointing. I was imagining something more like snowboarding but it wasn’t as spectacular. Surfing was okay but I didn’t understand how the scoring worked well enough and didn’t care enough to figure it out.
Handball - I forgot what this was so I peeped it. If you forgot too, it’s the bastard child of soccer and basketball.
I was bummed that pentathlon is getting crap coverage on peacock. The worst coverage there has been trampoline which only showed one competition clip and one short vid of a dude falling through the edge. Pentathlon has an overview, the end of a running race and a medal ceremony. I just wanna see more sword fights.
