Would be interesting to know how many challenges were successful in the Olympics. Seems to me quite a few. There have been a few times coaches have used the challenge as more of a time out, even knowing they would lose the challenge.
Just shows how hard touches are to see, and how difficult calling lines can be.

They had stats during one of the matches, I do not remember which one it was, I think it was indoor 2-3 days ago. The overturn was somewhere in the range of 70-75% of all challenges, they had a breakdown by type. They are also tracking the number of challenges, it was somewhere in the vicinity of 1 per team per set.
Some of that 25-30% is obviously teams using it for a timeout/momentum pause/breather so actual challenges would have a higher success rate. But with only 1-3 challenges per match, seems like the refs are doing a pretty good job. It's also nice to not have to watch everybody posture when they want a call that they know would be to their advantage while knowing they are wrong at the same time. Always been part of the game I know, never meant it was right
