Here’s the broadcast schedule for the Greatest Olympic Moments: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/events/detail/great-olympic-moments/schedule/

 

They will show replays from 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1988, 1984, and 1968 (though I think that will just be a bunch of long jump clips spliced together).

I just can't do it...I can't watch anything Olympic anymore without getting heavily depressed...:cry:

 

hope August 1st comes quick, so I can distract myself with a NHL overload and stop thinking to what it could have been and instead it's not...:nopompom:

not that easy...I'm not giving them 60 bucks for this 35% of a season (with no people on the stands)...:finger:

 

our tv only shows 2/3 games a week in RS and I only have a 7-day trial of the ESPN Player for Europe/ME/Africa (and my Japanese IPTV subscription ended 2 days ago...and I'm going to renew it only in october for the playoffs, as it's quite expensive)...:nopompom: :facepalm:

 

but I still have all the Korean KBO games for free...:lol:

@phelps If you need a baseball/softball fix, I noticed the Olympic Channel has been uploading a bunch of full replays of old Olympic matches from 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 :yes

thanks, but I think I have enough with the current competitions...

 

as I wrote before, I find it very difficult to watch the old Olympic picture these days...

 

if they keep them online for some time, maybe in a few weeks I'd give them a look...

Surprisingly (or not), I am not feeling anything about the Olympics being supposed to start tomorrow. :dunno:


Rio 2016 was top of the line stuff for me. Both with exciting competitions in general, and an enjoyable, record-breaking medal haul for Croatia. Waking up early every day for Pyeongchang 2018 already felt like a job, especially towards the end. So maybe I'm just getting over my usual fever...

I decided to watch the official film of Tokyo 1964 (the Japanese one) and never realized how good it was..

 

Laughed at the closing when the athletes trying to lift the police-dressed guy holding Japan's name sign (they had succeeded in doing that to the Japanese flag bearer) and the sign bearer was not in the mood for that

    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote. 
    • Today it was Olof’s 4th birthday. Love you my sweet boy.
