And after that reply, I tried to become a d**k by spamming Olympic Channel streams with: "If they can't broadcast more sports we will only have 5 sports live in Dakar 2022." One Indian user thought I was serious

I don't like the use of boards. Many of the less skilled teams just bash the ball forward hoping one of their players will sprint to the ball faster and get a lucky goal. Usain Bolt could become a great hockey player with that.

Obviously you lack urban skills to read this program. Try doing some graffiti.

guaranteed a medal (in taekwondo)!

The name of the winning team was Team Simone Biles. Even when she does not compete, her name brings gold medals to the team inspired by her.

I did write to them when I was frustrated when I can't see women's 53 kg in weightlifting, and they replied: Thank you for contacting the Olympic Channel about YOG live streams and we hear your frustration. The Olympic Channel is streaming all events that the Host Broadcaster and IOC are producing. Unfortunately, production is not available to us for all 239 YOG events. If you do not see your desired event listed, then a live stream is not available. Although we realize it is not the same as watching competition, we will provide coverage of all sports at the YOG, including those without live streams, via highlights on our 24/7 YOG Channel. Hope this helps and enjoy the Games. Hope this answers

swimmer made semifinals

I'll graffiti my way to Wikipedia where it looks a lot more normal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_2018_Summer_Youth_Olympics

Jesu odbojkasice igrale veoma slabo i nezainteresovano danas ali zašto bi uzalud trošile snagu i energiju kad utamkmica nema nikakvog značaja. Ja mislim da nismo išli namjerno da gubimo ove utakmice ali da smo bili opušteni (bez koncentracije, volje, želje, energije) pa šta bude da bude. U završnici prvenstva najvažnije stvari su zdravlje Tijane B i prijem servisa Bjanke i Tijane M.

Well, you know by now that I’ll get excited by any games. Hell, they could do a 53m Sprint while eating a hot dog, and I would wait all day to fawn over and worship it as a medal event. I’m easy to please. Find some countries, add a few sports, and bam! You have my undivided attention

Yep, that made me curious Not curious as in "This sounds like a great event to bring athletics to a higher event", but curious as in "I really need to see what the hell this is".

and as I said they won't unless they change they mindset we used to have unlimited weight class in men's wrestling (same as Judo) and at that time we had some huge huge wrestlers with big bellies ! they made a limit for that just to prevent such athletes to wrestle ! wrestling is probably the only fighting sport without unlimited weight class. a funny story. we had a famous American Wrestler Chris Taylor he was almost 200kg !!! at the time they wouldn't award points for stepping out of the mat. otherwise this guy could be multiple World Champion he still won an Olympic bronze because of his size. but there is a moment when German wrestler Wilfried Dietrich threw him and pinned him at the Olympics and the picture of that throw is something wrestling fans always remember. only because of this guy FILA (now UWW) made 130kg as max weight limit

Yeah. you are right this looks stupid to have 10 weight classes for women's wrestling. specially because there is only 26kg difference between lowest and highest weight , this is unbelievably stupid. they made it clear before they don't want women with big bellies on the mat because that's ugly on a singlet ! they won't go heavier than 76 (or something like that) 26kg difference and 10 classes. of course there will be only 2kg difference between some weights but remember we used to had 10 weight classes at the olympics, to me it's OK for men's wrestling there are 70-80 kg difference between lowest and highest weight here. the problem is this stupid gender equality idea. I don't really think women's wrestling needs non-Olympic weights. personally 8 weights for men's wrestling (FS and GR) and 6 weights for women's wrestling looks perfect for me. and that will cover everything. but UWW/IOC doesn't ask for my opinion

Basically just complained about how I can't watch some sports, then adding more drama with "Olympic shouldn't just promoting gender equality but also equality in sport streaming". Also add words like "extreme decline since Nanjing 2014" and "I can not imagine what will happen in 2022 if this issue is not resolved".

IOC has a table here: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/youth-olympic-games-2018/medals/ and they are keeping mixed medals separate.

Originally I was happy with their coverage, but know I have a lot of questions. I know the OBS has the budget to broadcast all sports, so I don’t know what they were thinking

Italy starting the match with their best lineup against USA...they'll end up getting a group with Serbia and China as a reward if they win the pool. Meanwhile episode 4 of the TV series "Masters of Tanking, 2018 edition" is going on.

i always adore your fighting spirit in sport and maybe things will get better in senior in the next period , always when i see any junior WCH u guys are dominating so u should win also at senior level

This Mexican in the 400m ran that lap almost as fast as the Mexican race walker walked his last lap.

Completely agreed. Or well, the good thing is they have to go out hard until the end instead of boring heats where 2-3 athletes walk to the finish because they're in the top-x anyway, but in stage 2 it will be just stupid.....after the finish, we should immediately know who is the winner (as in: first to finish = winner), now there's gonna be mental mathematics and waiting for graphics to show who won..

Wow, Vengaboys music in the background at the athletics! That is long ago

Guy from Vanuatu destroying everyone

IAAF is taking the medal for decisions that make no sense. Can't wait for the obstacle course next year at Minsk 2019!

In attachment there's the PDF document of world rugby olympic qualification for Tokyo 2020 Rugby Sevens Tokyo 2020 Qualification System.pdf

He finished 8th in the qualification tournament (top 7 qualified).

the Afghan guy who's participating with wild card defeated the 1st seed and champion of Olympic qualifications in Tunisia , well done

I think I am just too excited about this issue @dcro I wrote to info@olympicchannel.com, since I am pretty sure they will respond it quite fast (which is true)

Loving the reinvention of hockey ..... hockey5s is such fun , faster quicker, emphasis is on skills of stick work , dribbling rather than getting penalties

Why are there no 51kg, 52kg, 54kg, 56kg, 58kg and 60kg categories?

@vinipereira I´m waiting for that post blaming the Mexican team

Our NOC is doing the same (our mixed NOC equestrian medal is our only medal so far!) But whilst the athlete wins a medal it is not officially attributed to any specific NOC so it is very cheeky for NOCs to claim them.

Go Stockholm! It's the best bid for the IOC. -New host -Agenda 2020 in terms of venues

I mean that Brazil would get 3 points for a victory and Japan 0, resulting in them both having 21 points.

3-0 victory against Japan, then they would tie in wins, in points and in set ratio with Japan, but Brazil's points ratio would be better than that of Japan.

We all know, don’t worry

Well.. this time they use local host broadcasters, so they use a national (yes, not international) standard. They thought they can cover events like this.. They did not know it is being streamed at the Paralympic Channel and the whole world can watch it

Indeed.. Finally my life is complete

in Iran. they usually care about Para sports or at least they pretend to care. so the media usually cover such events like this . but since the official website sucks big time they lost the count of number of medals Iran have won. the official website sometimes is very slow in updating the results. this is interesting that the TV coverage isn't that bad (I mean comparing to what you expect) I saw Iranian channels showing Powerlifting, sitting volleyball. wheelchair basketball. swimming and athletics. but the TV graphics almost doesn't exist ! in some sports they just show the result. and in some sports they just don't show anything ! sometimes they just show the big scoreboard in the stadium to see who is who. we were always bad in swimming at any level. but here an Iranian swimmer already won 5 gold medals and he is looking for 2 more. now I see how it feels to win easy medals just by one "very good" athlete. which is not fair. in some sports you have to work hard to win just one medal (even if you are the best of the best) while in swimming just one athlete can win more gold than half of the countries in the Games !

Great performance by Valinejad... after knocking out the Mexican girl with an amazing return, I was rooting for her. I admire for her true courage

Two back to back gold medals for Iran in taekwondo Ashkevarian's gold medal was expected even though he won the final by the narrowest possible margin but Valinejad surprised me big time. she was underdog in both semifinal and final but somehow found a way to win both matches with a unique technique I NEVER saw from Iranians before. in final she scored 5 spinning kicks which means 20pts and she won it 23-17 !! this Serbian girl beat her twice this year in World Juniors and Olympic Qualifiers but she just didn't know how to stop the spinning kicks. the last time (and only time) an Iranian girl won the Youth Olympics she went to win an Olympic medal as well (Iran's only medal for women at the Olympics) of course I don't see Kimia Alizadeh's potential in Valinejad but who knows. this is only the 2nd medal for Iranian girls at the Youth Olympics (which is also the 2nd gold) btw and that was funny they played a silly (but fun) Persian music at the stadium after the 2nd gold

Yay, first medal for us, bronze in swimming + unofficial at least silver for pair Juvan/Świątek in women's doubles in tennis

Yay, a medal for Poland!

This is HUGE news for gymnastics: the girl from Costa Rica qualified to the all-around final in artistic gymnastics.This is especially surprising because she did not qualify to the YOG "normally" -- she was the first reserve, and two weeks ago she was officially announced as a qualifier because the US gave up their quota. And now she will be in an Olympic final. AMAZING!

that's why i can't improve in predictions they are corrupted

And Timor Leste won a dramatic race to clinch their first gold.. Sadly I only managed to record the medal ceremony

2nd Medal Delfina Pignatiello Swimming - Girls' 800m Freestyle Total Medal Count: 0 Gold - 1 Silver - 1 Bronze

Tremendous performance by Archana Kamath... Reaches semis ....

Timor Leste won their first medal ever in Asian Para Games! (table tennis)
