Got an unreliable factoid here, but it is claimed that this is the first time in Olympic history, all sports, winter or summer, that any relay team has won twice with the same line up.  Get on to it, stats hounds!

Luge relay 2018 and 2022.

Yeah, that's right - Giesenberger, Ludwig, Wendel & Arlt both times.   Was also wondering about the CCCP and the Women's Cross Country, I know they always used to win that.

Arno Kamminga went viral for wearing revealing swim trunks during the Men's 100m Breaststroke event at the 2024 Olympics.

The swimmer's flesh-colored trunks created an optical illusion, making him look almost naked and stunned the social media.c10de3d8ca2d48880f8ca6218e63e4f4c94a11597111b98820ce807cacaa5512.0.JPG

Technically the factoid is a little wrong without the caveat that it is the same finals lineup, since the prelims swimmers were different in Tokyo and in Paris (and if we're going to be super pedantic Guy and Dean switched spot, so it isn't exactly the same finals lineup either).

 

Still extremely impressive, and unprecedented in a summer sport, to have the same four guys win the relay twice in a row.

Apparently she only received a warning, but contested it in an "aggressive and disrespectful" way (words taken from the official statement). Then she was asked to return to Brazil...

Just got back to this now, but apparently this was far from the first time she reacted in such a way. While the other Brazilian swimmer reacted basically with 'ok, sorry' and could of course stay, she needed to turn it into a drama....not smart at all.

With how our Games going, mark my words, Milák will lead for 199 meters and then Marchand will beat him with the last stroke. Either this happens, or Marchand will easily take over in the last 50m.

don't you know how affilation to Hong Kong is decided? I mean why numerous Chinese athletes who don't make a national team do not simply switch to Hong Kong? Isn't it an obvious choice for them? Hong Kong medals are so rare but come on, they could be an Olympic powerhouse if they took all unclaimed Chinese athletes

Was it similar in Russia in biathlon some times ago? Domracheva, Kuzmina etc.

those are different states with different citizenships while China and Hong Kong are technically one state. that's why I wonder how they share their athletes 

Bring back the 1991 borders

I read that after Tokio 2021, Chinese media reportedly added Hong Kong and Taiwan's medal tally to theirs, moving China ahead of the USA in the medal table :lol:

Americans could respond with :PUR:ISV:GUM:ASA medals if they tried harder to win them

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
