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.

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.

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.
