Your Favorite Olympic Moments

Didn't Putin say that Lviv is a Polish city anyway not so long ago? :p Obviously that was to piss the Ukrainians off but hey, the Curzon B line was very much possible. Stalin hated Ukrainians more than Putin does IMO ;)

@Benolympique and what are your favourite olympic moments from French and International perspective? 

at Atlanta games in 1996, when Laura Flessel wins the first gold medal in the history of the sword and the gold medal per teams.

@OlympicsFan and what are your favourite olympic moments, from German and International perspective. 

From a German perspective (I only really started following the olympics in 2008):

Matthias Steiner in Beijing or Fabian Hambüchen in Rio

From an international perspective (not sports-related):

Hearing „Running Up That Hill“ at the 2012 olympics closing ceremony

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

  • 3 months later...

If I did maths well - there is still 229 days to the Tokyo 2020/2021 opening ceremony. And 227 days until the first softball JPN-AUS game in Fukushima.

 

So - the final countdown could be watching again the best olympic moments so far, it could be a quite random order - whatever comes to mind on particular day.

 

I would start with:

#227 - Beijing 2008 - Swimming - W 200m Freestyle Final - FEDE! FEDE! FEDE!

#226 - Beijing 2008 - Gymnastics Artistic - W Floor Final - Sandra Izbasa was simply perfect there! This is legendary for me.

#225 - Rio 2016 - Rowing - M Single Sculls Final - this race was too close to call. Maybe they should have given two gold medals?!

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • 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 , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
