lostinube Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) With a team fencing gold Japan has now beat it's old record of 16 golds at Athens in '04 and Tokyo '64. Not sure if they have many more coming their way though. Also, the South Korean archer An San leads all athletes with three golds, the first ever archer to do so which she can shove in the faces of the assholes online in South Korea.

hammerva Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) If you thought the instant replay system in the NFL or NBA was shitty, watch Olympic soccer. It takes forever to decide anything and unlike the other league apparently replays to watch aren't allowed? US women have now had TWO game winning shots in extra time called back because of being offsides. Edited July 30, 2021 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan's first ever fencing gold medal, too. First non-European nation to win gold in the men's team epee as well. I think they have a chance to win over 20 gold medals. They dominated women's wrestling in Rio and have some gold medal hopefuls in some of the new sport categories. They will be hopeful of a baseball gold medal as well.

ohtani's jacket Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 New Zealand is quietly doing all right as well. We have three gold medals in the rowing, which has become our most successful Olympic sport (traditionally it was athletics.) Our best Olympics was the Los Angeles Olympics in '84, which was the first Olympics I can remember seeing. We usually punch above our weight considering the size of the population.

SirFozzie Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nine Olympic Goals for the US disallowed in this tournament. Trump is running the VAR booth *laughs* And Rapinoe with the winning PK. Because, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new sports have definitely been a boon to Japan's medal count. They are more than able to pick up medals in the other skateboard event (park) and sport climbing. There was a slight changing of the guard in women's wrestling between Rio and Tokyo though (no Icho, no Tosaka). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 In looking around there appear to have been a few added this year Quote At Tokyo 2020 there will be several new mixed events: 4x400m in athletics, 4x100m in swimming, team events in judo and archery, a triathlon relay, mixed doubles table tennis and three team competitions in shooting (air pistol, air rifle and trap). And there are 4 being added for the 2022 Winter Olympics Quote MIXED TEAM SNOWBOARD CROSS: This is contested by teams of two. In the final, the men go first. As soon as they get to the bottom, the gates open so their female team mates can begin. FREESTYLE SKIING – MIXED TEAM AERIALS: Each team consists of three athletes, including at least one woman and one man. The competition, in which the scores are added together, starts with a qualification phase in which each competitor takes one run, followed by a first round of finals with eight teams and a “super final” with three teams. TEAM SKI JUMPING: The mixed team ski jump competition takes place on the normal hill with a woman-man-woman-man sequence, with the same scoring method as for the men’s team competition. MIXED RELAY IN SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATING: This competition sees national teams of two men and two women. The racing order is woman-woman-man-man. Each relay consists of two-and-a-half laps for a total distance of 2,000m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
