Handball was a primary school PE favourite, and that was back in the early-mid 00s.

I remember playing lacrosse at different times. I would hope they still expose kids to different sports even if its not dominant.

Randomly switching over to the fencing has introduced me to Rossella Fiamingo.

Thank you 7plus.

It has been wonderful to see Japanese people line the route of the road race.

3x3 bball is a strange concept

It'd be like marks up or backyard cricket getting olympic status.

Rugby sevens is along the same lines I suppose.

Maybe that was Gil’s master plan all along.

AFLX in the Olympics.

dont mind the shorter game tbh. like all american sports, full games of bball get a bit too repetitive and drag on with the constant stop-start particularly at the end with deliberate fouls making the last minute go for 10 actual minutes

The stop-start stuff doesn’t happen under FIBA rules.

I prefer FIBA rules to NBA rules immensely.

It was!

AFL at the Olympics? It's the X-factor that sells it

The obvious urge is to rubbish the idea ... but never say never.

fortunately the concept bombed hard!

 

[Clubs are trumps]

I just saw the new 3 vs 3 basketball. Wtf is this s**t doing in the Olympics? The USA dont even have a team.

Taking the piss whoever included this.

Yeah I’ve watched a bit, the standard is rubbish.

 

[Richard Cranium]

At least 3x3 has given Mongolia a chance at the big time.

Apparently 3x3 is big in Mongolia.

Who knew?
