The women have a spying scandal... the men have a game that seemingly ended with projectiles and a pitch storming after a last second tying goal, THEN have the teams callled back hours later for VAR to nullify the goal to an empty stadium 

Soccer is a complete fiasco already and it barely started :roflmao:

Like what is going on seriously lol

Watching Rugby 7's... almost forgot how nice it was to watch Olympics with a crowd

I was just thinking earlier today that it's the first Olympics with real crowds since 2018, and the first Summer edition since 2016. That's a long time. I can't wait for swimming, athletics and the more "electric" sports with crowds. 

 

I lived in Beijing in 2022 (and went to the OC, CC and a hockey game) and even though restrictions in the city were low at the time (they actually got way worse for a year later) there was absolutely zero atmosphere. I went to lunch right next to the arena that had a hockey game going on and they didn't even have it on the TV. The Olympic shops were sold out and closed. Even at the ceremonies and events they didn't allow people to bring in any flags besides Chinese or take pictures freely on the Olympic Green (people did these things stealthly, though). I hope to experience the Olympic hype vicariously through the TV this year! 

 

Edit to say: I have a lot to say about the restrictions and my experience at the 2022 Olympics, particularly the Ceremonies. For now, I'll just say besides flags, they told me I couldn't wear my Maple Leaf mask (I did for a while anyway), and some nationalities were even barred pretty last minute. They were also 12 hour days without any real food (no shops were open in the arena). If you watch the ceremonies, I was right below Xi and Putin, always somehow searching the ground for something I dropped whenever we were told to stand for them. I am super grateful I got to experience it all (for free!) but man did China go out of its way to squash any international enthusiasm. Covid was just the excuse they used.

I'm not going to give my opinion either way, but I think we can apply how Canada was absolutely jobbed by that Norwegian ref against the US in 2012 as retroactive punishment. How about we call it even now?

    • But I was told on good authority that these games would be a disaster for the  team
    • A magnificent rumble is heard across the Rock of Cashel and all of a sudden a great stir descends upon the venue. Fans have already taken their seats, Séamus has not yet finished his second bottle of Tullamore Dew whiskey so he is still on his best behaviour... so what could this be?     Just as the high priests had beckoned, ancient gods and goddesses from near and far make their presence felt....   Ronan Hardiman - Warriors    
    • Shadowy figures enter the venue chanting. Séamus reassures us that scary as they may seem, they bear no harm. They are ancient high priests who are calling to summon the great gods from across the land to bear witness to this magnificent spectacle of music in honour of Ériu-Ceol....          
    • Have we all made it? Don't worry, Séamus and his friends are here to help guide you along the way if you get lost! It's time to enter the venue for tomorrow's Grand Final and welcome fans from every corner of the globe.    
    • Our biathlon federation announced Quotas 41 & 42 secured for Slovakia   After today´s IBU Cup sprint in Osrblie, it is official.  will have also 2 Male athletes in 2026 WOG Biathlon.   Also it is officially announced that Jakub Borguľa will use one of them, the second one will be awarded after tomorrow´s Sprint in Ruhpolding between Šimon Adamov and Martin Maťko (Basically the better ranked tomorrow will grab the ticket)   Going to be an Olympic debut for all of them.   By this we will be allowed to field also the Mixed Relay, sadly obviously no M Team relay for us this time       Team (Updated as of 16th January 2026) 42 Athletes (32 M + 10 W)    
    • The sisters Hanna and Elvira Öberg back  at the same amount of World cup wins (13) 😁
    • Yes, we have learned the story of how this great musical event The Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025 came into being and it's true we know that it is to take place in the Rock of Cashel. But dear audience you have another journey to make. You are bound by your physical realm where all these years of Celtic myth and glory are but a distant memory listed in the great annals of history. Ériu-Ceol invites you to her secret world, a plane where myth meets reality. By the time this music video has played, your very spirit will inhabit both worlds and you will have made your way to TISC Annual 2025!       Secret World - Ronan Hardiman    
    • So now you know the story of how this great musical festival came into existence, it's time for Ériu-Ceol to extend her welcoming embrace and reveal to you to the location for this year's TISC Annual 2025.   Beneath the Rock of Cashel did she sleep one thousand years and it is to this great monument of Ireland we are gathered to bear witness to this beautiful celebration of music!     The Rock of Cashel       The Rock of Cashel in county Tipperary is one of Ireland's most iconic ancient monuments. It served as the seat of many of the great High Kings of Ireland, the most famous being Brian Boru, who was crowned high King of Ireland in 990 in this ancient kingdom of Munster.   It is also said that on this spot, St.Patrick converted the pagan King Aengus to Christianity.     Some long-time TISC fans will remember this was also the venue for the TISC Open in 2015 and it holds a special place in my heart as it is where we found our mascot Séamus all those years ago and who has been by my side ever since on our TISC journeys
    • For centuries, while Ériu-Ceol had been in her slumber, her sister Fódla kept watch over the wild, the quiet places of the land. It is from this calm and serenity of the wilderness that Fódla first senses the awakening of her sister.     No war, no reckoning, no judgement does Ériu-Ceol embark on her re-awakening. Instead she stands upon the Hill of Tara, her voice amplified by the wind, calling forth the musicians from all corners of the globe to descend upon the Emerald Isle and create music so great and pure so as to deafen the noise of machine, the destruction of war and banish the silence of despair.     She declares a great music contest shall commence and the victor shall bear the Ór geal (the crown of gold) and the very wind itself will carry their melody across the land for another millennium until Ériu-Ceol will next return.     Fódla follows the whispering winds of Ériu-Ceol and is led to the Ór geal and sets forth to announce news of the great Song Contest across the land and overseas.
