if anyone here is able to explain the rules of the Omnium in the Olympic cycling, I hope I never sit next to you at dinner.

I thought Sky Brown was very impressive, I don't know the technicalities but her last run looked more impressive with more tricks than the two medalist's above her.

Lots of super fast times on the track, but not sure if shoe tech or the new tech on the track are causing it, Bolt and the like are clearly not impressed.

Sport has always progressed though, I expect Bolts predecessors wished they had the technological advances that he benefitted from as well. Maybe spikes are a little too much..

Great watching some of the track finals.

Karate .... Kata!?

Last year of karate I understand.

I thought thismolypics seemed to host more PBs and world records than previous ones. I might be mistaken but if I am not I ask why it was so. Was it the fact that there was an extra years training / rest between it and previous? I wonder therefore how the athletes will fair in 2024, with only THREE years...

I think there were faster times run on the track but not records in the throwing and other field events, which points to shoe tech and the track itself as being geared to these faster times, so there is a cloud over these performances.

Interesting. I hope I see the outcome of various thinking
