Maybe it's just a little lack of the collective spectator experience. I don´t know, Algeria organize regularly several international events, mainly various African championships but also global events like fencing world cup or so.. from what I remember people were always standing during the anthems, Perhaps people in Algiers are more used to such events. Anyway, I remember the same happened many times also during Rio Olympics, when you´ll rewatch some competitions from Rio you´ll see plenty of local (I assume based on most of them were wearing BRA football jerseys ) just sitting on their seats or jumping and waving to the cameras like morons during the anthem. That was definitely one of the most disappointing experience I had from otherwise generally amazing and very goodly organized olympics there. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,193 Posted June 27, 2022 #407 Share Posted June 27, 2022 More bad news coming through... Gymnasts themselves still don't know how they ranked in the qualifications. Results are nowhere to be found. They only found out who is going through to the apparatus finals once someone released the start lists (but again, results themselves are still missing).

She is here in the hall now, but I have not seen her yesterday during the competition so I guess they close her somewhere to avoid her to go in the competition field during the competition hckošice and phelps 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't imagine what would happen if I were in the middle of one big earthquake...most likely, I'd die because of an heart attack... 6 minutes ago, Sindo said: She is here in the hall now, but I have not seen her yesterday during the competition so I guess they close her somewhere to avoid her to go in the competition field during the competition nooo...pooor cat! hope you'll see her again (and maybe take some more pictures/videos)...
