Japanese woman absolutely smashed it, amazing, don't know how she did it.

And the American.

Close for McNeice


Edit: Unlucky not to top that

59 points. Will need to top the lead route to have a chance of a medal with that, I think.

I think she’s reliant on others fluffing their lines now. Always an outside chance of a bronze after Garnbret and Rabitou for me

Can we have snooker, cribbage, darts and dominoes at a future games?

You know what, I see people talking about including the darts in a very flippant way, and I get it....but then I also think, why the hell not? I think it's be q popular tbh and you have stuff like shooting and archery in there. Darts is aiming for a target just like archery is but there's actually more strategy at play tbh. If posh people played darts it would probs already be in there.

Next stop for her, LA.

Raboutou isn't a lead specialist. Then again, neither is McNeice. Mori and Seo will probably do well in the lead, but they're not good enough at bouldering for it to matter.

Wow!! Brilliant from Garnbret

The main problem darts and snooker have are how many countries play them.

Relative to some sports definitely, but I'd say there are other sports in the Olympics that aren't universally played either. I get what you're saying though.
