Isn't it going to be broadcast in Olympic channel?

Well that was the deal, but they’re not advertising on there yet, and the games start in half a day...

Yeah I also can't find it in their upcoming events.

I sent them an email about it, and the event instantly appeared in the events section. I still can’t see any upcoming streams, but the opening ceremony is today in Samoa at 18:30 local time.

The schedule of live-streams is now available too :d. I will post a timetable for those interested

I'm looking forward to the day gymnastics will be included in the program. I'm not hopeful for artistic gymnastics, of course. It would be amazing if they ever consider parkour in the future. Neither Australia nor New Zealand have a strong background in parkour, so all of the Pacific nations could start on the same level. Let's hope for the next edition.

Well Parkour Australia is part of Parkour Earth, the real, but yet unrecognized, international federation for Parkour, so there would already be complications. I could see Rhythmic Gymnastics on the program one day, or maybe Aerobic. I think it will be a long time before anyone ever suggests putting gymnastics in the Pacific Games though.

American Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Tonga recently joined FIG (this year, I guess, or last year), so it's not impossible for gymnastics to be added soon to the program. It's only a matter of which discipline(s).

Rhythmics? I don't see it mostly because of the price of the apparatus. But Australia and New Zealand are terrible at rhythmics, so the smaller nations might have it in the future. Aerobics is a lot cheaper, but Australia and New Zealand are very far ahead of the rest of the competition, so I believe they would never be allowed to compete.

Parkour will probably be included at the Olympics before 2032, so it would be better for federations to stop fighting and prepare their gymnasts as soon as possible.

Yep. It will streamed starting on Day 2 (Monday in the US, though it still appears as a Tuesday stream on the Olympic Channel). The streams on the Olympic Channel start around 3:30 PCT and go for about 8 hours each day. 

If you have access to VPN then I think you’ll be able to watch directly on the games website. 

I’ll @ you with more info tomorrow.

      no names mentioned, even the number of athletes is not finalized yet, the report says 4 in CC without mentioning the gender.   I assume if she is still competing (not retired) she will be going , hard to find anything about winter sports athletes in the summer  (or even in the winter )

      Non-Olympic Countries and Territories Thread

      Soon it will be goodbye to the   British Indian Ocean Territory as they will become part of Mauritius.   No permanent residents, but the descendants of expelled indigenous residents from the 70s have a “Chagos Islands” football team. Ironically, just a few months ago, they played their first match under the “BIOT” name, and their shirts had the flag which looks pretty amazing.

      Hüberli/Brunner announce the end of their partnership after 9 years together    I love these girls, they were my second favourite women’s pairing after MHP/Wilkerson (and probably the only other women’s pairing I rooted for, besides Mader/Verge-Depre somewhat) so it’s such a shame to see them split.    Brunner will take a break from beach volleyball and focus on starting a family (she still has that desire to return), while Hüberli will continue with a new partner.    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DA0nWvZMmnq/?igsh=MXgxcHFvamt3OTc3Yw==

      Rhythmic Gymnastics 2024 Discussion Thread

      By Gianlu33 · Posted

      I read the story a few months ago on an Italian rhythmic gymnastics blog, it all seems paradoxical to me.   Apparently everything is the fault of her mother, who if I understand correctly is also her manager. Among other things, she is supposed to go with the Armenian national team, but her father says nothing is decided yet.   I feel very sorry for Elvira, victim of a situation that is not under her control and which she will pay dearly for, since (rightly) the Bulgarian committee has forbidden her to use leotards, music and exercises. By the way, not even her coach knew anything, she is devastated

      Any idea if Samaneh Beyrami will be going or are names not mentioned yet? I mean, if they've registered for CC and they're sending a woman, it can't realistically be anyone else, but still. She's super friendly so always cheering for her
