Karate on Tokyo 6. Kumite/sport fighting. More exciting than taekwondo

Faint praise

Much more aggression. I'm trying not to sound like a homer. I don't know how TKD stays in

Looks like breakdancing without head spins.

Quite difficult to follow. At times I didn't think Stewart was in it. Great result for him and the two medals tonight salvage something for the cycling programme

Crucial

That was awesome. Great support for him from those other two to pull off that late catch.

I can’t understand (across almost all sports) how the graphic communication hasn’t moved with the technology abilities.
Surely we can see running totals etc.
Has been the same in lots of other sports too. You are relying on often shit commentators to follow what’s happening

You can see where things are at in a race/competition at the different stages. I've been posting links for days (before the races). Keep those open during a race ...

I mean on the TV. We have fucking big TVs these days. Plenty of room for graphics.
I can’t watch tv and a website and the fern all together 😎
