It's not mentioned in normal news because there they are simply called volunteers. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

phelps 6,795 Posted December 13, 2018 #722 Share Posted December 13, 2018 it looks that the medical commission of the IOC has strongly recommended to change the start times for a few outdoor events... among others, they asked that the marathon races would start at least at 6 a.m., even better at 5.30 a.m. (instead of the scheduled 7 a.m.) and also the race walking events should be moved back to an earlier start (at least 1 hour, if not more)... meanwhile the mountain bike cross-country event should begin 1 hour (but it would be better 2 or more hours) later than the current 2 p.m. start... even beach volley should be affected by this review of the schedule, with no games played between noon and 4 p.m. IOC would analyze those considerations and take consequential actions in the next few weeks...

And this is based on weather info they didn't have 2 years ago? I always wonder how they can be so bad in preparing these things If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

This!

JoshMartini007 2,204 Posted December 24, 2018 #726 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Looks like the Koreas will compete together in women's basketball, canoeing and rowing with potential in judo and table tennis. Link Qualifying in women's basketball is possible, but for canoeing and rowing, I doubt they would qualify in multi-person boats. Judo is useless as South Korea outranks all North Korean judokas while in table tennis I imagine both nations don't want to limit their players in the team event (unless the IOC/ITTF decides to have a six-person team) Also I really hope they attempt to qualify using a combined team rather than relying on South Korea to qualify then creating a combined team.
