So it really seems like a thing for non-Brazilians..

Maybe for next Olympics they should just have cheaper tickets, so that also on TV it actually looks mostly full instead of there being a ton of empty seats. Of all nations I had expected the Olympics in Brazil to be the most "full of fire" (don't really know how else to describe it), so maybe the second week will get better :)

 

And yes, the stands definitely should have fewer seats, especially the stadiums. It's always better to have a full 20k stadium than a 50k stadium with 30k people in it :p 

 

But well, IOC mostly cares about the money I guess, not really about how full it all looks. 

 

And don't get me wrong, in terms of sports, these Games are fantastic so far :)

 

For me, in terms of sports, it has been one of the best i've ever seen, really great so far!!!

Regarding organization.....  Not so much.... :zip:

Now here for you all, a little insight into Irish sport. Not only did our boxing federation force out our national coach and destroy our Olympics, those at the top are also disgracing themselves :facepalm:. When I hear people complaining about their national federations and Olympic councils, I just think, wow, they re lucky to have such good officials. Try living the life of an Irish sports fan :d

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE
