Ah, finally the home page I was looking for...

I will murder the fucking director, I swear. And I will film it from an awkward angle with little to no lighting.

When IOC members try to appeal to the youth:

No, I don't believe in God and I don't like the Queen. So it's a 0/2 from me

IOC MEDIA @iocmedia Following Following @iocmedia More Fencing initiation: President Bach (Olympic Champion 1976) puts Yusra Mardini from the Rio (2016) Refugee Olympic Team (swimming) through her paces. Helped by YOG fencer Ariane Leonard. #BuenosAires2018 #YouthOlympic Even the IOC Twitter accounts...

Apparently they haven't closed the basketball stream yet, so you can watch these... Engineering Olympics or something?

Table tennis commentator talked about qualificatoins, and even mentioned a word "reallocation"! Is it possible that Olympic Channel has a commentator who is actually doing something other than reading a scoreboard?

^Campeón olímpico, Esgrima, mil nueve setenta y seis.

Some of the moves from the South African guy in breaking dance look like what I do in the morning when I search everywhere around my room trying to find my glasses.

"Winner by Win by Final Score". Agreed.

Head judges are B-boy Renegade and B-boy Storm. Exactly the kind of names you want deciding medals.

The problem is not what he can do, but how his ideas make other people do what they do. Brazil is the most dangerous country in the world for LGBT people to live in. No other country registered such a high rate of crimes against LGBT people, and to top it off, homicide rates are among the highest in the world (and they are the highest in the world when it comes to gay and transgender people). In such a hostile environment, he adds fuel to the hatred against LGBT people. Last week, there was a huge protest on the streets against Bolsonaro, but a number of people in a subway platform chanted "faggots, take care, Bolsonaro will kill your kind". One of the major reasons for people to vote on him is that he promised everybody will be allowed to have a gun. Usually people think this will keep them safe, but in reality we'll have even more people murdering gays, transgenders, lesbians and women (Bolsonaro is also a misogynistic pig, for those who don't know already).

According to the official site this mach lasted 2 minutes

I am revoking my comment from a few days ago which stated this was the best results website of the year.

Honestly he should work as a commentator on Olympic Channel. Anyone who knows a difference between Burundi and Burkina Faso is already good enough to replace the current ones...

Sessouma swims 50m breaststroke in 57.76. As far as commentators are concerned, she is from Burundi, obviously.

Nothing about Bolsonaro is funny. Nothing. 5 years ago he was considered a (bad) joke, ranting nonstop about a non-existing communist threat, and now he's very close to becoming the president for the next four years. He's publicly stated he believes (pretty) women should be raped, women should earn less than men, black people and native Brazilians are lazy and should be killed, gay people should die... Basically, he should be jailed for even opening his mouth, but somehow he's running for president and many, many people are ignorant enough to vote for him. In fact, I fear for my life if he ever gets elected. Now, about the other politicians... Temer is as dirty as one can be. He's currently the illegitimate president after a coup d'état, and that says a lot. In short, the coup happened so he could sell for cheap (I'd say give) our oil to the Americans. Of course there's more to it, but it's too long (and boring) to explain. I'm a professor in a federal institution (basically, federal schools and colleges are usually the best in the country) and we've suffered huge losses of maintenance money, so we're screwed for the next years thanks to this coup. Haddad is not a bad politician, but he is from a party I sincerely hope will not elect a president in the next 30 years, since we've seen numerous scandals of corruption regarding this party. Haddad has good ideas, but he should never have run for president in the first place.

The torch is good, the flame didn't extinguish even with all the wind

stop hating your masters

Most people sing their countries anthem, I sing along the Olympic Hymn

The only place in the park that wasn't bonkers-overloaded with people was an scenario with some orchestra that seemingly was playing only video game music (?) I heard some smash bros., pokemon, star fox, metal gear solid soundtracks. I don't get what that has to do with the olympics, but had a little good time there

Surprise, surprise... De Tullio is the 1st italian medal at this YOG!

Ippon after 18 seconds ?

Just got back home. Only managed to watch hockey today Around 3pm I left the stadium to buy a drink and go watch something else. I tried Swimming... full. Fencing... full. Weightlifting... full. All of them with +1000 people in queue outside the arenas. Then I tried to go back to hockey but there were suddenly 2000 people waiting outside so I lost my place and had no option but to leave the park. Free tickets will do this, but I think today being Sunday made things worse. I will go back on tuesday, hopefully there will be much less people around. Ps. the organization could help everyone if they simply were kind enough to place a "full capacity reached" sign in the entrance of each hall. Many people doing the line didn't know that the venue was full and they were wasting their time. You had to go all the way to the access door and ask the volunteers to get that info.

I'm not so keen on compromise...better nothing than a farce competition...

I love Roller Speed Skating. I want it in the Olympics so bad..........

watching this break dance competition, now I have a nightmare thinking about what if this thing makes it to the Olympics ?!

is Dominica, according to the judo commentator. Thanks man.

Roller sports time! Can't believe how entertaining the heats turned out to be for me.

They will stream Artistic Gymnastics and Rhythmic Gymnastics starting on day 6 Info intended for superfan @thiago_simoes

So no AUT or ARG. It's JPN time!

So it will be vs for bronze in girls' -44kg judo.

You mean G-girling?

B-Boys and B-Girls, stop spreading your B-phobia. Also, what's up with only their first names?

You guys celebrating the first medal of your team? Pfftttt Indonesia has already won 3

Anyone else really enjoying the climbing events?

Nice try IOC, but I need live match not giant pictogram of my favorite sport!

I hope no Italian here is watching Swimming because according to the commentators, Thomas "catch-on" (Ceccon) was underway.

Inline skating Too bad it's some combined event so no single event really feels important, but ok. It's moving, and the ocean/sea as backdrop is fantastic

The youtube livestreams work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoki2GtOI7U&feature=youtu.be

Some early results from the first day of competition: BADMINTON: Men's Team Standing (SL3-SU5) Gold: Indonesia Silver: Malaysia Bronze: India Thailand POWERLIFTING: Women's -41kg Gold: Cui Zhe - 100kg Silver: Widiasih Ni Nengah - 97kg Bronze: Noura Baddour - 91kg

Thanks for your support for the Dutch TISC participation.

I do hope though that, if it's Bolsonaro vs Haddad in the 2nd round, most people will (albeit reluctantly) vote for Haddad...from what I've heard so far there is literally no real good candidate, but everyone who is not Bolsonaro falls under the 'lesser of X evils' category..

Well I guess we know how they’ll extinguish the flame at the closing then. However it will be controversial because both a man and woman will have to urinate on the flame

yeah, Gracias Thomas !

the parade of nations is in GIF format

^it's no coincidence, the organizing committee basically hired half of the rio 2016 staff.

Extremely disheartening to see this here. This man is the worst thing that could ever happen to Brazil - if you guys think Trump is unreasonable sometimes, you should see this person talk for 5 minutes. I fear for my friends in case he's elected (which is very much the most likely scenario right now). Also, it's a little ironic that you're (apparently) supporting an extremist when you have said plenty of times that extremism is bad in any form. I guess that only works for the far-left then?

For what it's worth, I can now confirm 4 more votes for a candidate who is not Bolsonaro (which I basically already knew, but always good to hear people you know didn't end up voting for him after all)
