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.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
