59 members have voted

  1. 1. How many hours of Olympics will you watch per day?



Recommended Posts

17 hours minus whatever time I need to clean the house and do shopping every day. Probably around 15. Few events that I can't be bothered with. Mostly Boxing, Artistic swimming, Equestrian Dressage, Golf and Wrestling, as well as the newer show sports like BMX Free and Skateboarding. Breaking idk but probably don't care.

 

Looking forward to W Volleyball, Decathlon and Heptathlon, Sports Climbing and the Cycling Road Races.

I am on leave now, so 14 hours + each day will be on my schedule. 

My day will start with 1 hour pre show     ( country centric)that hopefully our broadcasters will provide bringing in some top experts. After all events get done for the day I will do my own summary of medal events & then go to bed. 6-7 hours of sleep will be enough. After all its once every 4 years. :d
 

5 Sports : Field Hockey , Shooting, Athletics, Boxing & Wrestling 

 

5 events: Men’s Javelin, Men’s Decathlon, Men’s Hockey, Recurve Mixed team, Women’s Team TT. 
 

Not interested/Will watch only medal rounds:  Breaking , Surfing, Artistic Swimming , Skateboarding & BMX cycling.

1. Which are the a. 5 sports and b. 5 events your most interested to look forward to?

 

2.Which 5 sports you are least bothered about?

surely...well...if my dad's health stays good :fingers: I hope to follow the Games all day long, from early morning to late night

 

1a. swimming, athletics, fencing, judo and cycling (track + MTB cross-country)

 

1b. that would change according to the :ITA athletes' performance, impossible to say in advance...

for sure, this time the men's Freestyle Wrestling -74kg class would be something special

 

2. I guess almost every Totallympics user knows what are the "activities" I'm not interested in at all in the Olympic program: artistic swimming, rhythmic gymnastics & trampoline, freestyle bmx, skateboarding (especially park), equestrian dressage and "that one" (I do even refuse to write its name :bones:)

as much as humanly possible ! :d

 

I will stop everything else in my life and reduce my sleep time too. I usually get weak and sick near the end of the Olympics because of lack of sleep. but this one is in Europe, that's much better time difference for me. no more waking up 4 am in the morning :d

Other than breaking, which I’ll probably only be watching during the medal rounds (but I might decide to skip it entirely), artistic swimming, golf, rhythmic gymnastics, and equestrian (dressage and eventing at least)

 

Some events/sports I’ll only be watching the closing stages of, like modern pentathlon (shooting and laser run), and the end of the road race.

Tokyo really was a chore, especially when something like triathlon started at 11pm.

 

I have the whole period off work so all day everyday, just need to hope the second tv still works as it was last used 3 years ago

in Tokyo I managed to sleep 3 hours/day (from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.) for the entire 16 "full days" of the Olympics...and I was 47 and with a broken knee (I couldn't sleep in any case because of the pain...so, why not watching live also in the middle of the night?)

 

and tbh, I wasn't so sick and/or tired at the end...I was even surprised of how well I could manage that physical challenge

 

this time, it's gonna be a walk in the park...wake up at 7 and going to sleep at midnight/1 a.m. is basically my everyday's routine

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
