Hopefully they'll actually be there and it won't look like the world championships there again, that was a pretty sad sight :p (obviously my big Brazilian flag at the side of the course will lighten things up though :BRA )

 

Certainly it will be better :d That´s the olympics after all, for sure it will be better attended, and looking forward for the Brazilians fans group in the stands :d

 

So if I understood exactly you are envisaging to go to PyeongChang then, thats great another our reporter at place :thumbup: Just be careful to land in the correct Korea´s part :d

 

however also in the north they have amazing venues, I definitely would love to watch hockey in such arena and atmosphere :wub::d

A venue like that is not fair...everyone is distracted by the magnificence shining down from those two photos of the great leaders :hearts:

 

And me going there depends entirely on a certain Brazilian biathlete qualfiying, if she does, I will go :p (and of course report on Totallympics and if it's in any way possible, get some special reports from inside the Olympic village :d )

I hope to be there as well on the other end of media operations :p

 

Have you applied yet to go? I believe the accreditation system has opened up and expires rather quickly.

You mean you will be there as an actual reporter if everything goes well? :d 

 

And seriously, ticket sales already almost expire? You can't even buy tickets in the Olympic season itself? :yikes:

Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you were going to go there as a reporter (so you would need accreditation for that). Ticket sales start next year apparently.

No I didn't literally mean as reporter :p 

 

I would "report" from the Olympics if I'm there and through a certain Brazilian biathlete maybe get some inside reports from the Olympic village :d

PYEONGCHANG OLYMPIC STADIUM

    https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8660/28765670291_2f5c46612b.jpg

 

Sports: OPENING CEREMONY, CLOSING CEREMONY

Cluster: Mountain

Location: Daegwallyeong-myeon, PyeongChang

The PyeongChang Olympic Stadium will be a temporary venue and will use only for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the XXIII. Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang 2018. The Stadium will be a pentagonal arena in the precinct of PyeongChang Olympic Plaza near to the Alpensia Ski resort, The venue will also serve as the medal plaza during the games.

 

In the candidacy file of Pyeongchang 2018, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies were foreseen to take place in Alpensia Ski Jumping Stadium. This was a plan similar to the one of the 1994 Winter Olympics. However, in July 2012, the POCOG announced some changes in the venue plan and the ceremonies were moved to Hoenggye. The main reasons were organisational, with possible interference between the preparation of the ceremonies and the ski jumping training, and the weather conditions for the spectators.

 

The Stadium will be the final major Olympic venue to be completed, with end of construction expected in September 2017 In addition, next to the stadium will be an Olympic exhibition hall, as well as traditional food markets and other attractions, which will remain as heritage facilities. The Capacity of the Stadium will be 35.000 temporary seats.

    • so, the Swiss reigning champions, who saved their ass in the last match of the RS, now are almost safe in the semis once again...   very impressive performance also by RB Salzburg, I didn't expect them to make such a good run, even if the 2nd leg match won't be easy at all and they're all but safe in the final four
    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Results   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)  1-2 (0-0, 1-1, 0-1) Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)  3-1 (1-1, 2-0, 0-0) Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)  4-0 (2-0, 1-0, 1-0)
    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
