14 Olympic Games in total. Very limited small memories from Lillehammer 1994 though to Torino 2006 much better but definitely not followed in entirity as now (Too young, School duties etc...) however last 8 Olympics since Beijing 2008 in full Olympic fanatic mode. :d

 

All Time Best: Vancouver 2010 an absolute no brainer.

Best OG I saw according to my nations most successful games criteria: Beijing 2008

All Time Least Liked: London 2012 (Same apply also for the according to my nations less successful games view)

I think 19, we sadly boycotted LA 1984. Best? I think Barcelona, high hopes after the end of comunism, waves of patriotism, good young team, beautiful city, football final, last free olympics as i see it. Romantic games for me 🙂, i was 15 then. Worst? Rio. Time difference, i couldnt feel the atmosphere, terrible games for Poland with many scandals. I was tired of Poland then, if not covid i would stop following polish sport. In pandemy every emotion was priceless.

6. I started at 12yo with London (I have some memories about archery in Beijing with my grandparents). My first Olympic followed with a "fanatic approach" was Rio2016

 

2. I loved London and Rio. About Tokyo I still have mixed feelings, they was the "olympic of the reborn", but without spectators, OG have just another flavour.

my picks...

 

:TUR over :GEO 'cause the Georgians basically rely only on Judo and Wrestling, meanwhile Turkiye have a wider range of chances

:DEN over :PRK the Asians have been deprived of their best chances after being declared ineligible in Weightlifting, so I think Denmark will have the edge

:SUI over :RSA the Swiss might be the surprising package in Paris, they have the most medal chances ever

:AUT over :BUR the Africans only have a slight medal chance in the whole Games, meanwhile the Europeans are competitive in more disciplines

:NZL over :BRA the Kiwis have quite a few sports that will provide them a lot of gold medals

:ROU over :GRE rowing being the key factor for this prediction to happen

:SVK over :CIV shooting, slalom canoeing and Salkazanov > taekwondo (and athletics)

:LTU over :ECU Alekna being the key to success

1. How many Olympics have you watched in life?

2. What was your best and least liked games

1. I started in February 1984, the Sarajevo Winter Olympics and luckily I haven't missed any since then

 

2. Lillehammer 1994 (Winter) and Sydney 2000 (Summer) are definitely my best Olympic memories

 

Pyeongchang 2018 is without any doubt my worst Olympic experience because it came just a few months after my mom's death and in that period I was so sick in both my body and my soul that I couldn't enjoy anything in life 

however, technically speaking, under a strict sports point of view, Sochi 2014 were the worst Games ever

1. 7. First Olympics for me was Vancouver 2010 when I was 4 years old, my dad watched the gold medal match in men’s hockey and I watched it with him, obviously I wouldn’t remember anything from it as it was 14 years ago. First Olympics I actually remember watching was Sochi 2014. All three of those Olympics I only watched a few events at most. First time I full on started watching everything was back during Rio 2016. 
 

2. Favourite was Vancouver 2010 (I’ve watched a LOT of replays since then, men’s hockey gold medal match is my main highlight, but there was a lot of good events), and least favourite was Beijing 2022, given it was a complete and utter flop from a Canadian perspective with only 4 gold medals :facepalm::hairpull::rolleyes::dunno: (and two of them were lucky, even though Kingsbury got robbed in men’s moguls)

1. First Olympics was Beijing 2008. I have memories of my parents watching Torino and very well could have watched some myself but I really caught the Olympic bug at Beijing, 

 

2. I think I have to go with Vancouver for the best, London a close second, I’m sure Paris will eclipse both.

 

Least liked is Sochi it’s the least notable games and what I do have to note about it isn’t all that good.

Actually on further thought, I’d probably change it to Tokyo 2020, with the pandemic and everything. Lack of crowds and COVID 19 really sucked.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualifying Simulation

      2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.

      http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.

      No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...

      I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
