Are we there yet? Because it has been fun!
Canoe Sprint - Definitely a sport that I would lile to try. If you have never seen it, then get in on it now. The way you and I canoe for leisure is a lot different than canoe sprint. I discovered this event in the 2016 Rio Olympics and was hooked!
Rhythmic Gymnastics - beats are cool. Movements are difficult. It's entertaining. Plus, you have fun imitating the sport at home lol.
Sailing (Kite) - Finally! Man, these athletes really rely on the weather to have their event. Kite sailing has to be the coolest Olympic sport. It's surfing on extra protein.
Track & Field - An Olympic Games in itself. All of the races for its own channel. Some names, you should know: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone; Gabby Thomas; Grant Halloway; Ryan Crouser, Jessica Moore, and more. Congratulations to Canada 🇨🇦 on winning the Men's 4x100 Relay and to the USA 🇺🇲 Women's 4x100 Relay team on winning gold.
Weightlifting - My goodness Indonesia 🇲🇨! What a lift - 72.5kg athlete lifting 198.2kg in the split jerk - Rizki Juniansyah!
Basketball - France 🇨🇵 vs Belgium 🇧🇪, Women's semi-final match. I also like to see other countries mix it up and show crowd support. Belgian and French flags waving in the air. Well...USA vs France in the finals.
Breaking - Finally, it has arrived. The much anticipated dance sport. I have mixed feelings. The movements were athletic. It missed some spunk. It needed more of a battle all around and extra skills. Nonetheless, B-girls Ami 🇯🇵 and Nicka 🇱🇹 battled well in the gold medal match. Categories...those are the skills needed: pop-locking, crumping, etc. Put them in to the break dance.
Five Rings,
Derek
