Saw a few with your name, KAZ, written on the backs of their shirt .
Just realised it was the Kazakhstan team.

I had better support them then , lol

I do enjoy the gymnastics

Something enjoyable watching people doing something that I'd break every limb and my neck even attempting

Incredible athletes

Just switched on the skateboarding as it's one of the random sports you don't normally see.

They all look no older than 15 though??

And the first lady/girl still had her headphones on! I've never felt so old.

The medalists in Tokyo were 13, 13 and 16, if I remember rightly.

Blimey. I guess it's something to do with body movements and constantly falling off.

Can you imagine the pressure - your country has won 9/9 and you're in the final shoot-off!

Loved the hi-tech decision making of a magnifying glass to see if one had cut the line.

Top archerying/archering/archeressing/arching,... um, shooting.

Yeah, it was intense. It was interesting to see the trajectory shots. You don’t get that perspective until you see how far away the target is.

It’s amazing how certain countries totally dominate certain sports.
