Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Where is the flame by the way? I love the design of the torch, but unless the flame is burning bright high in the sky at the Olympic stadium and visible outside the stadium, then it's not ideal.

Ah yeah, I forgot replays. 

 

Luckily there's Dafne Schippers, so our TV can spend like 10 hours per week on showing how Dafne Schippers is having breakfast, how Dafne Schippers is training, how Dafne Schippers is having lunch, how Dafne Schippers is training etc. She's like the Mo Farah of the Dutch TV in terms of non-stop fapping by the broadcaster, it's so annoying :p

Yeah Mo Farah eats up a lot of valuable viewing time.... and Ennis-Hill is filling that role right now :d

It's somewhere in the Rio centre where we can't see it. :(

I guess that's the advantage of not having a major star! :p

I don't think the danish commentators have even mentioned Sara Slott yet! :)

Torneus :facepalm: Rutherford seems to be the only consistent male long jumper in recent times.... will that trend continue though?

    • Here's all the confirmed NHLers so far that I could find. Some big names are going. Once the 1st round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is over, more names should be added    Canada Macklin Celebrini, F (San Jose Sharks) Travis Konecny, F (Philadelphia Flyers) Brandon Montour, D (Seattle Kraken) Ryan O'Reilly, F (Nashville Predators) Zayne Parekh, D (Calgary Flames) (only pre-tournament games are confirmed) Travis Sanheim, D (Philadelphia Flyers) Mackenzie Weegar, D (Calgary Flames)   Bo Horvat and Kent Johnson aren't confirmed but they are both willing to play if asked apparently. Sidney Crosby is considering.    Czechia Filip Hronek, D (Vancouver Canucks) Jakub Lauko, F (Boston Bruins) Karel Vejmelka, G (Utah Hockey Club) Dan Vladar, G (Calgary Flames)   David Pastrnak is possible    Finland Justus Annunen, G (Nashville Predators) Juuso Parssinen, F (New York Rangers) Juuse Saros, G (Nashville Predators) Teuvo Teravainen, F (Chicago Blackhawks) Eeli Tolvanen, F (Seattle Kraken)    Germany Philipp Grubauer, G (Seattle Kraken) Moritz Seider, D (Detroit Red Wings)    Sweden Rasmus Andersson, D (Calgary Flames) Mikael Backlund, F (Calgary Flames) Leo Carlsson, F (Anaheim Ducks) William Eklund, F (San Jose Sharks) Filip Forsberg, F (Nashville Predators) Adam Larsson, D (Seattle Kraken) Isac Lundestroem, F (Anaheim Ducks) Marcus Pettersson, D (Vancouver Canucks) Alexander Wennberg, F (San Jose Sharks)   Mika Zibanejad is also likely.

    • Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. 
    • That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online. 
    • Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier).   12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb.
    • Some sports have qualification systems   3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting
    • In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports.
    • Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes?
