Somehow these games have managed to find the most knowledgeable commentators. I’ve been impressed with their ability to know the happenings of the Pacific.

Tokelau have broken into the Cupid Shuffle of hakas. This performance is super entertaining :d

Wallis and Futuna have also broken into what can only be described as the college rave of hakas. That was also very fun to watch. They are the only country to perform their “war dance” with a smile.

I’m pretty sure the entire fricken population of Samoa is walking in the parade of nations.

Then I guess it's not a war dance. ;)

How religious is Samoa? They have a Methodist priest blessing the games, a choir singing church hymns, and no sports take place on any Sundays during the games. I’m fine with politics and sports going together, but I draw the line at getting religion involved.

Oh my god! They’ve tricked me into sitting through a mass. Jesus 1 - Olympian1010 0.

One of Samoa’s premier archers, I mean politicians, is now speaking.

      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
