In Rio, because it's the only Olympics I've ever watched. And then, I just remember watching water polo and handball

London, because I saw a lot of fantastic sports live. For example the gold medals for Ranomi Kromowidjojo (100 freestyle, swimming) and Epke Zonderland (high bar, gymnastics).

London because it's the first (and for now only) time where I could follow almost everything because it was at respectable hours of the day, and also because France did very well that year :d I also really enjoyed the ceremonies.

Even though London was pretty epic, since there was a gold from Asadauskaitė and a miracle golden premiere from 15yo Rūta Meilutytė, I still had to vote for 2004 Athens, because it was so absolutely hype.

 

We watched it together with my family, every single discipline in the heptathlon, screamed our lungs out during the final 800 metres and Skujytė finished only behind the legendary Karolina Kluft.

 

Not to mention the fact that Alekna got a gold in the discus throw. 

 

Modern Pentathlon medal was pretty memorable too. 

 

It was also pretty legendary when Lithuania beat United States in basketball group stage.

 

I remember our valient efforts in the women's cycling road race, back in the days when we had legendary and very capable women in the field. 

 

Lots of nice memories.

Beijing, because it's the first time I really followed the Games, although not as actively as I do now. I was aware of Van den Hoogenband in Sydney and Athens, but that's mostly because he is from my hometown. I was too young to really follow it.

 

Hopefully I get to attend Paris 2024 live and make that my absolute favorite!

Then I'll go with you. Like many other Dutch fans, I suppose ...

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      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.

      Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2026

      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 ,
