Trying to attend the Olympics is the most confusing process. I always feel 50 steps behind.

Found some of these interesting, though I still think the majority of Wikipedia pages for these sports have better explanations:

@Griff88 Are woman allowed in the Indonesian military? I’m rewatching the Asian Games Opening Ceremony and noticed a few, but I feel like I’ve never seen any pictured before.

Yes, they are... The first time women are allowed was in 1959

Btw, most average Indonesian attention to women military personnel is a bit "wrong". Mostly some random beautiful personnel became viral or people keep focusing on the controversy when hijab was allowed as part of uniform for those who wish to wear it :dunno:

I’m curious, Does anyone else check the reddit Olympics thread every once in a while? There are some knowledgeable fans, and some not so knowledgeable fans, on there too. The discussions can be interesting as well. This forum is still way better formatted than that one though...and probably has a tighter community. Plus, we seem to know a little more than most.

Sometimes I do, because it's much easier there not to miss anything that's posted (since every thread has a title named after the actual news they're discussing), but I don't go there that often.

Same, I just like to see what they talk about sometimes.

    • If Colturi were to return to Italy, we will have another super duo after Goggia and Brignone. If Colturi has to return, it would be right now, when alpine skiing is so popular here. There are still girls like Pirovano, who are quite young and are already started winning. Alpine skiing in Italy is similar to ski jumping in Poland: there are speak about no young talents, but there is always someone new – it is a matter of the popularity of these sports in these countries and the large amounts of money invested in them.

    • Holdener beat Aicher for 2nd place by 0.04 so Aicher has to win the last GS to have any chance for the overall (trails Shiffrin by 85 pts).
    • Shiffrin wins by 1.32 secs! Business as usual 
    • Anna Trocker takes the lead despite a big mistake. Maybe there is some future for  alping skiing 
    • Lucas seems to be on another level in Giant Slalom right now. 
    • Pinheiro Braathen wins the last GS and the small globe! Odermatt DNF in the first run and he's really tailed off in the last races.
