here in the US, NBC seems to have the streaming on lockdown, so you have to have a subscription to cable TV to be able to access the streams. not sure what the access will be like in the countries that aren't governed by corporations.

Chancer?

Apparently one of the only 2 Saudi women is competing in Judo and has roughly 2 years of experience. That promises to be... interesting if the whole hijab denial doesn't stop her from competing.

O' gods of Judo favour the Egyptian Judokas.

I have high hopes for Darwish, Shehaby and Mesbah! Our lightweights are crap.

Ramadan Darwish's brother trains me and he says Ramadan is on fire!

Unless ofcourse they end up facing tough Judokas. Riner, Iliadis and Anai are my biggest fears in each division. Especially Riner...

Then we fucked.

My adopted home country (Sweden) has a single competitor in Judo in Olympics - Marcus Nyman (90kg). I have no idea of how his odds are, but I sincerely hope he gets a medal. It'd mean a lot for the popularity of the sport here.

Regards,
Lars

This guy is interesting he's the first ever Palestinian to qualify for the Olympics.

He's under so much pressure maybe he does some great ****.

Or fail miserably.

Who knows?
