Officially starting.

Not sure what you’re watching, because I’m pretty sure the opening ceremony hasn’t actually started yet :p

:IND initially was allowed 68 athletes in the opening ceremony due to space constraint in the boat. 

 

Now 10 more athletes are allowed. The Indian officials managed tickets for a total of 78 athletes at the opening ceremony.

It was a glorious idea... until they started limiting the number of athletes allowed at the parade. Having 400 people and only 140 are allowed. :facepalm: I don't want to be that guy, that goes and tells people "you can't come", when it could be their lifelong dream to be at the Opening Ceremony.

Can't speak for all teams, but quite a lot of athletes have very good reason not to participate... Like participating the day after, having training slots, being careful with small injuries or not arriving yet. It's a rather long day for them!

At least in Denmark those who want to can participate,

For real? Yeah, that sucks....

 

Also organizationally it's not really going well yet, journalists were more or less randomly sent whereever in the hope they'd arrive more or less in the rightish spot in time for the broadcasts, nobody has any maps or schedules or anything :d

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
