Yep. The best thing is athletes coming together no matter their politics. Remember the Korean unity flag?

That's why I hate what Lebanon did so much

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

and for Nova Sport at 04:00 and STV 05:00 what a mess... but I think the ČT schedule should be the correct one, as I know your TV coverage from olympics is usually great and profesional.

Mind you, Times of Israel is kinda biased. I hate Israeli politics, but it's not the athletes' fault

Sad to Know about it .. Main motive of Olympics is getting missed.. We need unity in this world .. 

 

I equally felt happy when Kosova and South Sudan athletes waked in the Stadium similar to when India walked.

Just NBC. I did get a laugh when the feed spent only like 3 seconds on Argentina and then when around the stadium before resuming the parade. That's how you do a rivalry.

Show was not of that glamour quotient and not enjoyable...But made me go through the history of Brazil and got to know about it...I think that itself has achieved the purpose of the organizers. Expected better Samba section, But dint get much. Caudron lighting build up was not there. But the design was awesome...It came n got over so fast.

The ceremony is certainly not as big as London or even Beijing, but still a festival :d

 

The Parade of Nations was somehow in slower pace, maybe because of the music. Love the cauldron, just hoping it is a bit bigger

The only problem was the censorship in Indonesian TV :facepalm:(Giselle Bundchen got blocked by with a white square and the ceremony is cut after the hoisting of the Olympic flag, fearing the butts of Samba dancers ) :dunno:

I watched 2/3 of ceremony and now waiitng reprise to continue

 

What i saw was really great and enjoyable.....it was not spectaculr and expensive as Beijing and London,  but it had soul and spread message......and i think it showed good direction in which ceremonies should go

 

I also like parade very much and whole idea about it :thumbup:

 

Only i don't know if it was on Serbian tv or everywhere, but sound was bad during the concert of Brazilian singers....but still could hear some :d

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
