MHSN 3,047 Posted October 18, 2019 #104 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I was checking the entry list for Taekwondo and I can say half of them are familiar names. mostly national team members. probably not a big surprise because of the nature of this sport which is a martial arts. but meet soldier Tijana Boganovic isn't she too good looking to be a soldier ? she will be more useful as a spy I guess https://results.wuhan2019mwg.cn/index.htm#/participant/athlete/msg?athletecode=TKWWS3212768 Warrant officer Vladislav Larin https://results.wuhan2019mwg.cn/index.htm#/participant/athlete/msg?athletecode=TKWMS3218281 Don Vito Dellaquila https://results.wuhan2019mwg.cn/index.htm#/participant/athlete/msg?athletecode=TKWMS3217190 Tahir Gulec https://results.wuhan2019mwg.cn/index.htm#/participant/athlete/msg?athletecode=TKWMS3218097 Sergeant Edival Pontes https://results.wuhan2019mwg.cn/index.htm#/participant/athlete/msg?athletecode=TKWMS3216592 Junior Sergeant Dmitry Shokin (Uzbek team is exactly their national team) https://results.wuhan2019mwg.cn/index.htm#/participant/athlete/msg?athletecode=TKWMS3217861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,418 Posted October 18, 2019 #105 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Alright just started watching the opening ceremony, so my following comments will be that. First off, Wuhan is a beautiful city. It’s one I haven’t heard of, but I’m impressed. Also, it’s obvious the games are being hoisted in the city because posters and projections are plastered onto every building, of including the bridges. Winnie the Pooh got rapturous applause when he entered the stadium. Thankfully it didn’t last 10 minutes like in Turkmenistan during the AIMAG. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted October 18, 2019 #106 Share Posted October 18, 2019 That flag truck was impressive and unique. Maybe a dry run for Beijing 2022? “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted October 18, 2019 #107 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This opening ceremony makes me feel conflicted about these games? I men’s sports are about peace, and militaries are for war. It just seems wrong to celebrate military culture. I don’t know. China is using it as propaganda, like every country that hosts these games. It just seems like a bad idea. Especially the motto. If we were coming to together in peace, we wouldn’t need militaries. I get to point of civil defense, but militaries aren’t civil defense. It’s a good opportunity for our service men and women to have a cool experience though, so I’m happy for them at least. I’ll try to enjoy the games too. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted October 18, 2019 #108 Share Posted October 18, 2019 So doesn’t have two different militaries? I’d imagine it’s a bit awkward planning for these games “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted October 18, 2019 #109 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Huge shoutout to Brazil for leering a “disabled” military member carry their flag in thiago_simoes 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.
