What upcoming Olympic events are worth watching?

[iamboxing]

Obviously, Boxing - they no longer wear headgear and because it's only 3 rounds a fight the pace is fast and exciting.

I enjoyed the Triathlon Mixed Relay - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...on-mixed-relay

The weight-lifting is always good as you mentioned, it was great to see an Arab win a gold for the first time(Qatar).

The Rugby is good too, but you might be put off if you're used to watching American football.

The Badminton is surprisingly good. I've never watched Badminton before, but I'm finding it just, if not more, entertaining than Tennis, probably because the rallies are longer.

Skateboarding was about as stupid and subjective as I figured it would be. Shouldn't be in the Olympics. Same with Surfing but I know almost nothing about it, just seems like a weird sport to judge and one person might luck out and have a better wave than another person etc? I dunno. Pathetics attempts to draw in a younger crowd it seems.

Lol Canadians have 14 medals so far (usually don't win a lot in Summer games) but they are ALLL women so far!

Yeah, skateboarders already have the X-Games. No need to have them in the Olympics too.

There's way too much swimming on TV. They should shine the spotlight on other sports too.

Haha no wonder I missed it it's like they're literally trying to bury a man's accomplishments on this page. The title is Team Canada Medallists at Tokyo 2020 and he is at the very bottom with no picture or write-up. I don't wanna sound like a weird men's rights guy but that's kind of messed up.

I was looking here initially https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/n...-medal-winners but says it's inaccurate now lol

They take it for granted that he is known already. I believe they named a street after him.

Jennifer Abel is fine though.
