Yeah your right about them only showing the games on the TNT feed. That’s just wonderful because I’m almost certain that’s not available outside of Morocco. Supposedly the Olympic Channel is covering games, but they haven’t posted any schedule yet. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Can't view them as a trustworthy source. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they use a lot of the same sources we do. Say what you want, but If you ask it’s probably the most correct list at this point. There’s 4-5 lists on this thread and they all contain different sports. At this I’m just assuming everything counts for Olympic qualification “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted August 19, 2019 #145 Share Posted August 19, 2019 After Judo we have 13 nations on the medal table . There’s also quite a bit of history already. won 2 gold medals today! That’s 1/4 of their all-time gold medal count. They also sit 5th in the medal table now. won their 6th medal of all-time!!! It was a bronze in women’s judo. won their 2nd medal of all-time!!! It was a bronze men’s judo. also managed to snag a rare non-North African judo gold today. got 2 bronze medals. Very impressive performance for a country with very little history in judo. sent 18 judokas, 11 won medals. That’s an impressive stat for such a young team. (I believe managed the same feat as well) The Beach Volleyball tournament is also looking like it will produce some interesting results. women continued to look good after their Commonwealth appearance. They took 9th in the tournament. has managed to make it to the men’s quaterfinals and have made it to the women’s semifinals Also the men’s side is interesting because , , , were all eliminated unexpectedly in pool play. The commonwealth nations are faring quite well here. Maybe the inclusion of the sport has incentivized and new part of the continent. Tomorrow will be the opening ceremony. Morocco is a 2nd world country with rich culture and amazing scenery. I’m expecting a good show (so hopefully I’m able to watch it). I also start university, so my posts are about to go from 60 to 0 very quick. thepharoah and Griff88 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
