Upon reading this forum, I have changed my mind. Surfing etc. may be shit, but nothing can beat the sheer arduousness of dressage.

 

It's interesting how "sheer arduousness" can bring some 35000 spectators to something like European Championships on a rainy day. How many other Olympic sports can only dream about such attendence, at any event? :p

Okay lads from Lithuania and Poland, Discovery have done their sub-licensing thing to TV3 (LTU) and TVP (POL)

That's nice. Will Eurosport be able to execute their goal of not having exclusive rights anywhere? We'll find out...

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

I don't think so...

here in Italy our public broadcaster is not gonna spend a single cent for the Winter Games (they already left Sochi 2014 in the hands of the FTA branch of our main pay-TV Network...and it proved to be an absolute disaster...basically they only showed Figure Skating and Alpine Skiing, with just a couple of notable exceptions...they didn't even show all of our very few medal winners on the FTA channel - they missed out on the Biathlon Mixed Relay, since they were showing, guess what? yes, you win! Figure Skating!!!)...

so, I'm pretty sure that at least for the Winter Games they won't be able to stick with their original plan at 100%...

 

and in Germany (where public broadcasters ARD/ZDF definitively called themselves out from the competition) they already announced their program for Pyeongchang 2018...

in GER they will show the 2018 games on 2 of their FTA channels + the 2 Eurosport paid channels + the Eusp360 service...which is always a perfect coverage, but it's still a mostly paid offer...and many fans don't like that...

what a scandal

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games organisers are facing calls to move the venue for the golf competition because the selected country club does not allow women to become regular members. here

 

only men , Trump is everywhere :d

 

naaa...it's not Trump (even if he could be happy of that)...

it's Golf itself, which heavy heritage from its own history and tradition still allow things like that to happen here and there in almost every part of the World...:evil::facepalm:

Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Medals to be made from mobile phones

 

Olympic and Paralympic medals for the Tokyo 2020 Games will be made from recycled mobile phones, according to BBC.

The Japanese public will be asked to donate old phones and small appliances to gather two tonnes of gold, silver and bronze for the 5,000 medals.

The project hopes to promote sustainability and reduce costs.

"A project that allows the people of Japan to take part in creating the medals is really good," said Tokyo 2020 sports director Koji Murofushi.

"There's a limit on the resources of our earth, so recycling these things will make us think about the environment."

Collection boxes will be placed in local offices and telecoms stores from April and will remain there until the metal required has been collected.

Members of Japan's Olympic organising committee tabled the idea to government officials and companies in 2016.

      Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba?

      It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
