@SindoMaybe we should have a thread to keep track of which events are rescheduled, there might be a bit of chaos next week due to the weather.

In a couple of minutes "everything" starts, a lot of events at the same time, the Games is officially on.

After watching a few hours of events  and especially because of Euro 2020, the lack of fans are really giving me an empty feeling. Things will get better fast, as we get into the nitty-gritty of matches, but for now it feels rather soulless.

Unable to play their national anthem, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) proposed “Katyusha,” a Soviet folk-based song usually identified with the fight against Nazi Germany in World War II. The IOC rejected it and a fragment of Piano Concerto No.1 by composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was chosen as their anthem.
