Yuto Horigome is probably the best skater alive right now and the olympics are in his backyard, it feels right he gets a gold. the judging in skate was really bad. a bunch of dudes were getting underscored.

Jagger's trick did a 270- flip in, yuto just did a 270 grind to regular. Doing really spinny tricks on handrails is kind of the thing in skating right now, and I'm like jagger eaton's trick was objectively harder and looked just as good. If everyone is doing spinny rail tricks, pick the one that was the hardest to do. I kind of like how the X games is doing scoring now, where they'll just rank everyone at the end, there isn't pressure of doing a live scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Also I think I saw nyjah do a tre flip-back 50 in a street run, that was arguably harder than what he was trying for best trick even if it doesn't look as flashy. And if a pro like that throws it on a street run, he can probably land that trick 9 times out of 10, otherwise it wouldn't be in his run.

Yeah, I woke up to watch this and it was fucking awful. I swear half the game was either the US playing hoof ball or the Aussie back 4 imitating that Simpsons gif. It was basically a mutually beneficial, agreed-upon draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 In any sport that is likely to end up in a draw (especially soccer), there should be one of two methods of determining the winner: Preferably, keep playing until someone scores Have shootouts before the game, so both teams know who will win in a draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water polo is a VERY strenuous, physically demanding sport as you're essentially treading water and sprinting around the pool for an extended period of time (as well as the ball passing aspects of it). It's also very much a contact sport as the players are kicking the hell out of each other underwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your second one is goodish but shootouts are shitty. How about both teams start in the middle and the first team that can make it into the last quarter of the field with possession wins?

Kal-El814 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Shootouts are fine, but I’d also be completely okay with even championships ending up in a tie, so maybe don’t listen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League play and group stages earn 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a lose. Back in the day it was 2 points for a win. That followed by extra time and penalties is good enough for a game where we need to determine who advances. Also we need it so smaller countries like Greece can draw their way to win the Euros or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
