Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

I watched summat yesterday. Couple of women dressed up in judo stuff, little boxing gloves on, and spent a few minutes roughin' each other up. Eventually, the Egyptian lass won - fuck knows what she did to win - but WTF sport was it? The only one that looked a possiblity looking at the list of sports was karate, but I didn't know they wore a little pair of boxing gloves, and I always had this idea that karate could kill people. I did look for a sport that entitled itself 'Closing Time in L4 After a Dipper Reverse' but not there.

I saw that and like you had no idea what it was. I think it was karate. Bit boring and too much shouting for me. Isn't appearing at Paris.

In the men's final, the winner was knocked unconscious by an illegal kick to the neck.

They're desperate to get the emotions, as if they emotions in the sport aren't enough. Does my head in. Every sport turned into an X Factor style emotional backstory. Might as well bring Dermot O'Leary in to do an overly long pause before announcing the winner of the boxing and then play Westlife over the top of it.

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that!

I have actually enjoyed this Olympics.
The ‘niche’ elements have been enjoyable too & I hope it inspires lots to take up some sport as it lasts you a lifetime those lessons.

Agree about the lack of spectators & those major athletics moments.
Pleased it went ahead & after the Euros finishing then the last day in Tokyo I’m going to have a bit of an empty sport slot for a while.

Jason & Laura Kenny - amazing.

I'd usually be glued to sports I'd never usually watch and mentally cheering on the British athletes but I've not watched one single second of this Olympics. It just seemed completely unnecessary given the global situation.

Isn't the fact that they're unnecessary kinda the point of sports?
