So Phil is not that dominant?
I really like Hongten, but I don't think he'll make it out of the round robin 
The World Champion, Nicka, lost the final battle to Ami yesterday, so it's a matter of what they bring to the stage at that time.
He won silver at the World Championships against Victor (USA), but he's still a favourite. He should make it out of the round robin since he's up against J Attack (AUS) next, who lost his battles. It'll be a question of Kuzya vs Dany Dann for who joins him.

It's hard for the commentators to tell too, they were completely surprised by how the judges went yesterday.

The French CBC dude seems knowledgeable. He pointed out many mistakes
That's good, since the English ones kept going on about how India barely made it into the round robin due to doing a pre-qualifier in order to accommodate an extra spot for Talash to compete. It would've been very hard for India to not advance out of that battle.

I know. I know rock climbers..I do not question their sport, Its their life. Or race pilots. I ride motorcycles and have for 58 years. I could be crippled or dead tomorrow. But I am very selective about where and when I ride and how. The young girl who fell to her death in California on wet granite climbing with her father.....that was very sad. I too wonder how dangerous break dancing is to the head. Maybe water polo isnt too dangerous. Skating certainly is....

I've read that water polo players often get kicked in the head or face or elsewhere, and clawed, either accidentally or on purpose. So do synchro swimmers, in all the melee underwater.
At least my husband's rock climbing meant he couldn't object to my pairs skating, which scared him so much he only came to the rink a few times when I coaxed him into doing some filming of practice sessions. We always had the mutual policy in everything of "it's your body, your decision what you do with it". I knew my skating frightened him to watch or even think about, but as I pointed out after his accident, I'd never had to be winched off the ice by rescue helicopter as he had off the cliff on Mt Baker he'd been climbing with friends.

Water Polo is like rugby in water. Why do you think they wear the funny caps ? Because they won't want their ears to be pulled off their heads ! It's a very physical sport. You gotta be super fit to just swim back and forth and then do the egg beaters when in the scoring zone to shoot or block a ball. From my own experience, it's a super rough sport and it isn't free of injury.
BTW... a sport doesn't have to be "dangerous" to be a sport.
