Also been heavily into the Olympics. My favourite sports have been judo and gymnastics with some trampoline and boxing on the side. Excited for wrestling, taekwondo, and weightlifting next week. What sports you been into?

I'm honestly watching almost anything, revelling in being able to flick through the broadcasts live for once. The only things I really don't get are golf and the various horse disciplines. I usually don't enjoy cycling too much, but Pidcock's comeback victory after a puncture in Mountain Biking was insane and worth a watch.

Street Skateboard and BMX Freestyle are probably my favorites to watch, but those are already done and gone. We do have Park Skateboarding coming up though.

Sebastien Patrice was lots of fun to watch in Saber fencing, that was a surprise hit for me. Winning bronze for men's team sabre with a jumping parry riposte was pure entertainment. I always like watching the archery, and the men's final today was absolutely thrilling. Been following Truls Möregårdh in table tennis too, but he finally came up against superior opposition in the final. Beachvolley is also fun to watch.

Periodically checking in to catch the big stuff like swimming and track & field finals, of course.
