We must have an OK account to see these videos?

On the other hand, i wonder what happened with Olympic Channel. 

I had it installed on my Android but today i encountered notification only about Tokyo 2020 app. 

Everything else is absent. 

Does anyone know what happened with OC?

They’re also revamping/creating a new app during this period, which I believe they plan to drop in time for Tokyo 2020.

I didnt see your post from May 2nd. :(

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe you could give me an advice. 

Whats the best way to see those full replays from Rio, Beijing and other OGs?

I checked their site and its rather confusing, with plenty of cookies banners and so on. Is there any link for those replays? 

Thanks in advance.

No problem. There are two fairly good ways to find full session/event replays.
 

The first option is using the menu at this link: https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/olympic-videos

The second is to click on this link, and scroll down to the section titled “relive past games.” Click on the Games you wish to see replays for, and then select the “replays/highlights” option when taken to a second page. Link: https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games

 

I will say that I’ve had a lot of trouble/difficultly with the website recently. Sometimes to the menus don’t work, or the replays don’t show up, or some videos have disappeared, search function doesn’t work, etc. I haven’t been to upset/down about it because this is a new UI and website, so there was bound to issues. I’m just hopeful that they’re still learning from and fixing problems they run into along the way.

Didn’t know this story, but I came across it last week reading a book about Nazi Germany. Did you know that there used to be an official Olympic Salute that was often used on ceremonial occasions?  What happened to it? Well, at the two 1936 Olympics there was a certain amount of confusion because……:red:

Both actually derived from the same source, which you can see in this famous 1784 painting.

Yes, this was covered on one of the series of QI when Stephen Fry was still the host.

  • 4 weeks later...

Just watched the two Rio 2016 documentaries available on the Olympic Channel.

 

Days of Truce, like some previous official Olympics films, is a traditional recollection of the Games, focusing on a few athletes and the impact of the event on locals. While this documentary doesn't bring great filmmaking by any means, I thought it was successful in showing the good and bad side of Rio 2016 - and also made me remember the thrill of those days, including some events which I've attended. Like one of the brazilian athletes says in the film, this is not gonna happen again in our country (at least not in our lifetimes), so I feel privileged to have experienced it.

 

Viva, a in-depth look about the Opening Ceremony, it's a much better documentary IMO. Shorter than the official film, it's a fascinaning movie for people who are interested about the process of conceiving and executing an Olympic ceremony. It was particularly interesting to know that some of the things we saw were decided a few days before the Opening. Kudos to the creative team who made a great ceremony given all the challenges.

Enjoyable, well-made documentary about the “youth and urban” sport’s path to the Olympics.

Has anyone seen 'First' (London 2012 Official Film)?

 

I just did, and it is astonishingly bad! Around 95% of the film is in slow-motion for no reason. :lol:

    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
