C1 feels like a free hit for Fox after getting the K1 gold

Does anyone have a link to a good schedule of what's on in Australian times?

Our BMX girl currently is second. I hate events where judges decide points. Her second ride was amazing.

The scoring overall has seemed a tad arbitrary with no real explanation of how tricks are scored, or indeed how many judges are scoring.

Bit like AFL umpires...

Who the heck would know with any of those subjective sports?

Gymnastics, diving, skateboarding.

They used to show each individual judge's score but they've done away with that, presumably because the discrepancies from one judge to another were so huge

They should show the judges individual votes. See who cheats.

Women's hockey and women's water polo both on right now.

Personally I wish the Olympics focused more on adding objectively judged sports because they are much easier to follow. Eg sport climbing (who climbed faster?)

It's a bit bizarre we have breakdancing and dressage (which is just horse dancing) in the Olympics for example, but not baseball, netball or cricket (cricket is being added next time)

Some sort of team multi sport would be cool too, kinda like a pentathlon but each team has to play basketball then soccer then rugby or something

Throw in 3x3 basketball in the ‘bizarre events’ list. It’s a training drill - how is that an Olympic sport.

Also, baseball/softball are back in LA too (they seem to be on again/off again depending on who’s hosting)

I'd like to think if they're including 3x3 basketball (which even more weirdly was pronounced "three ex three" not "three by three" by the commentators) that darts and bowling would be eligible sports

I mean darts is basically a 3x3 basketball of archery

I like the biathlon in the Winter Olympics. Cross Country skiing + shooting. Or as the yanks call it, Winter.

Sort of like the Olympics?

More that the exact same players have to play multiple team sports

Yeah I did get it

I reckon Brisbane 2032 we should add Wood chopping as a sport particularly the one where you have to do the three levels

Thrilling finish in the water polo with a long penalty shootout and Australia winning!

Water polo is an insane sport it's like constant drowning if you're the centre forward, it's brutal.

Oh no Logan fell

On that basis, I would've thought it appeared I. Tokyo given the popularity of the sport there.

Re: Netball, I wonder if that will be added to 2032, it might be a team sport we could actually win gold at.

The issue with netball is you need men's and women's comp for it to get off the ground and that's the push back on it currently. The men's netball game isn't developed enough currently.

Cricket is coming in at LA too

Seems crazy to me that Malaysia have never won an Olympic gold medal

Guatemala just won their first in the shooting.
