Yes. I just said that knowing most people here don't care about it. (or are probably afraid ) That said, me liking video games and the competition, I don't want eSports to become part of the Olympic programme. It just wouldn't fit, same with board and card games. While perfectly fine on continental games, in my opinion there should be a separate Olympic tournament for all mind sports and eSports. It could be labeled as something with "indoor" and be held in autumn.

Shooting mixed events are probably the saddest example of mixed events forced into the Olympic program. Absolutely ridiculous, especially the part about nations being allowed to enter two mixed teams... But who cares, as long as big nations can still earn 2 medals per event at the Olympics.

The funny thing is when one of Indonesian skater is eliminated but she keeps racing and had to be announced three times before she finally understand. Even in the spectators some people can be heard shouting: "You are already eliminated!"

I’m watching a replay of the Women’s 20Km Speed Skating, and besides the fact that I could skate faster than all of Sri Lanka’s skates, there is a point in the race where officials had to actually ask the competitors to increase their speed in order to satisfy the definition of skating

There's still one more event to go, but here is some initial stats on the performance of nations in non-Olympic events. First I removed all non-Olympic sports, except for roller sports, which I only kept skateboarding. I also removed events from Olympic sports that are not in the Olympics with the following exceptions. In boxing, weightlifting and wrestling all weightclasses were kept and in karate the men's and women’s +84kg and +68kg respectively were kept to simulate the +75kg and +61kg events. Medals won in non-Olympic Events 1. - 63 2. - 59 3. - 52 4. - 34 5. - 32 6. - 25 7. - 24 8. - 23 8. - 23 8. - 23 11. - 22 Everyone else won fewer than 20 medals in non-Olympic events. Not too surprising that Indonesia won the most medals. Bahrain, Iraq and Syria were the only nations to have won medals, but none in non-Olympic events. Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Nepal only won medals in non-Olympic events. Of course putting down total medals is a bit unfair for larger nations. Powerhouses like China are expected to do well in all sports so it's expected that they would also win more medals in non-Olympic sports. Here I calculated the probability that a nation would have earned their number of Olympic event medals (or fewer) over the total medals won. A lower number meant it was unlikely and that the nation likely benefited from non-Olympic events. 1. 0.0000000076% 2. 0.0049% 3. 0.0087% 4. 0.049% 5. 0.12% 6. 0.35% 7. 0.84% 8. 2.46% 9. 3.34% 10. 4.39% Everyone else was at a 10% chance or higher. 8/10 nations that benefited from non-Olympic events were Southeast Asian nations, likely due to Indonesia's influence. The nations that saw significantly little to no benefit from the added events were Bahrain, Iraq, Syria, Japan, China, North Korea, Qatar and Kazakhstan.

Mexico won the 5th place match, which means that either Canada or USA won't qualify for Lima.

Highest ranked team that finished 3rd in one of the tournaments. Likely an european team.

Anyway they will burn in hell

Haha, of course I meant C-2.

There still can be only 33 participants

I'm really loving this small alley, but I'm happy that I'm not driving one of the cars!

There will be much more than 4 teams in the mixed events (2 teams qualified directly + every country that can form a team with shooters qualified in individual events, max. 2 teams per country)

I can't help to cringe, they decided to include a live prayer in the ceremony.. With all respect to Lombok earthquake victims..

I am always for the performance rather than medals....U perform and the reward will follow you...I will start with individual analysis of Asian Games slowly rather than medal wise will do performance wise..

Volleyball will have a big coverage for sure, Peru loves this sport. On the other hand, I remember Handball wasn't broadcast in Toronto (except for the argentine channel), and I fear the same next year, even though this is a qualification event for Tokyo.

Your wish is my command https://youtu.be/ye4n-T6GdD0

Luckily you are the master of tactics

I. Want. That. Replay.

Following these games got me hyped for pan ams next year. Then I remember we'll probably have even less streaming than this and I get sad again.

Honestly I didn't remember this, but Israel, Denmark, Northern Ireland and Netherlands are surely border country with Italy... to be honest, it is not that I'm against the "brand development" of the Giro, but the southern part of Italy, where I live, is usually out of the way, in some years the Giro doesn't reach southern than Rome

The most popular Ukrainian band of all times gave a concert yesterday on the Independence Day. At the Olympic Stadium. They used Maryna Bekh, Alina Shukh and other pics of our athletes for the huge background LED: The concert was attended by 100 000 people.

Fiji is out, only one team from Oceania advances. Anyway, Vanuatu will probably withdraw later due to lack of funds, as is tradition of pacific islands in hockey.

Basilashvili has improved definitely since match against Nadal at RG last year (yes, the one that @heywoodu has fond memories about )...

I'm done.
