Israeli team was going to the bus to take them to the ceremony and turned out they were assigned same bus as Lebanon.   The Lebanese athletes demanded the driver would close the door and the head of the Lebanese delegation blocked the driver from letting our athletes on!!   They had to call a special bus to take our guys to the maracana 

 

I dont have a link yet.  Just social media reports from staff

I wonder which organiser thought it would be a good idea to put two of those "explosive countries"  together in a bus :d

I hate Israel politically but that was a petty, petty move from Lebanon. Goes totally against the Olympic Movement. These athletes are not the ones opressing Palestine. Take aim at the politicians, sure, but take athletes as athletes and make their sporting performance the only think that matters.

Probably best to say "The Israeli government" rather than just Israel

    • The story of  boxer Dmitrijs Avsijenkovs and his incredible 100%, 29 fight knockout record.    Unfortunately.....   Boxer who was knocked out 29 times in 29 fights finally gave up on his disastrous career
    • apparently our NOC rejected the winter sport federation request to send a bigger delegation.   they published a list of just 14 athletes. 8 in CC skiing, 2 in Alpine and 4 in SkiMo. equal number of male and female athletes in each sport.
    • Yeah, I'm not entirely opposed of different host cities, but 24 hours of sports is not a good idea. Keep it to the 16-18 hour days.
