At least they opened up all the streams unlike beijing, though still some of their decisions still suck, and nbc live extra is available for chromecast and roku..... but their primetime bs is so annoying and discriminating against us pacific coasters

It's going to start at 20:16 BRT (clever).


And waving our flag is... Andy Murray...

The one that wanted to not be British and declare Scotland independent

Oh well. Go on then Andy.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

There is speculation that Pele won't lit the cauldron because he's the face of Santander bank in Brazil and the sponsor bank of the olympics is Bradesco...

 

Doubtful. He was in very bad shape a while back so I believe his statement about health problems. Anyway, I'm happy other athlete will do the honor.

He was a great athlete, but if you're gonna choose someone to do this honor, I think it's better to pick someone who was an Olympian. Plenty of great people to choose from.

    • Ooooooh the group of Canada , they play in Toronto then Vancouver ...look at the distance   
    • now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)   the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in  Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)   the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in  Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in  Granada in April (5th through 13th)   300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in  Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in  Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
    • Rare thing not to see Hancock winning gold. 
    • USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators 
    • so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
