The men did really well in a relay the other day, finished 4th in an event they weren't expected to even make the final

One thing the Olympics lacks is that they have the combat events but they don't have the artistic aspects of those martial arts so it feels incomplete. It's an art form, not just fighting and competition.

Spoiler!

Good. I hope they don't bring that in, because the last thing that the olympics needs is more judged events.

True, but the combat side are judged events too. There may not be scores but the ref plays a huge role.

Just saying that to have one side but not the other makes the sport incomplete.
