Why are people sitting during the anthem ?

Yeah, it's weird.

 

But I can't really remember Algeria hosting an international event like this (?). 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.

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).

according to the Italian press, an earthquake of 4.2 on the Richter scale hit Oran last night while the Gymnastics competition was still running...

I didn't, but I never feel earthquakes I have never felt one in my life. Other people felt it and it looks like the athlete on the Balance Beam was shaking as well.

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

you're lucky...I've felt very few of them in my life (and originated quite far away from my location), but I was always really scared...

 

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...
