Very nice! I am looking forward to watching a lot of the "new sports" being added. Some of these are controversial: Karate, Skateboarding, Surfing, and sport climbing.
As someone who used to do 9 hours of Karate a week for fun, I think I'd quite enjoy watching it. I'd also be curious to watch the others. I've seen a few clips of the sport climbing which looks pretty fun.
There's also the youngest British summer Olympian: Sky Brown in Skateboarding. She seems like an interesting character too.
Code:
Sky's dad Stu is English, but moved to the USA in his teens, before meeting mum Mieko in Japan. Born in Miyazaki, Sky spends half of her school year in Japan and half in the US.
At the age of eight, Brown competed in the Vans US Open, making her the youngest person ever to compete at the event. On her return in 2018 she finished in the top 10.
