    Watching kayaking while getting ready for Judo matches.

    I like watching some of the sports that get less coverage than the premier sports like swimming or gymnastics

    Wemby and Gobert dominated by Maozinho.

    Weird to see Brazil represented thru basketball and not qualified in soccer.

    Olympics: Canada docked 6 points, coaches banned over spy scandal

    Canada women's soccer coach Bev Priestman has been suspended from coaching for one year and the Canadian team has been penalized six points during these Olympics, FIFA announced Saturday, after investigating charges that Canada staff members used a drone to spy on an opponent's closed practice session last week.
