Would love to see some more underwater cameras in water polo to see all the physical **** that happens but I understand why they don't.

Silver medalist in the women's 48kg freestyle wrestling gave up 2 points in the last 3 seconds of the match to lose the gold and burst into tears the second she stepped onto the medal podium. I don't blame people for stuff like this; training your ass off for four years to be that close to gold and **** up would be devastating.

The sport was good, before they changed the rules to make it boring

Same for Judo

I turned on the decathlon HJ and before I knew what it was started laughing because the bar looked so low compared to the actual HJ comp last night.

Imagine if you watched Karate Kid or something and told your parents you want to take up karate, and they brought you to a taekwondo class.

The stances and grabbing in women's wrestling makes it look a lot like two junkies going at it on the street.

Anyone who roots for manbun in the decathlon is lost, adrift in life with no focus.

Playing surface in field hockey is absolutely massive. Looks like everyone got shrunk or something.

Freestyle wrestling is so much better than greco-roman

Yeah, even the playing area is boring. I'm sorry but this sports sucks. They should have crowd participation where some buzzer sounds and 4 or 5 randomly chosen seats get to throw game balls out on the field. Game on then! Let me tell you.

Freestyle wrestlers must have killer headaches after matches.

Being bald seems like a massive advantage in freestyle wrestling

meb or other vball experts, are you allowed to switch from the back row into the front or just along the front? once the ball is in play can everyone go anywhere? also, what's the rule for the timing of switches? I assumed you couldn't switch until the ball was served, but it looks like the end up starting the switch before the toss and actually making the switch while the ball is in the air before the serve so I guess its on the toss. What's the reason for this being allowed then instead of just being allowed any time preserve?
