Fly_like_a_don 925 Posted October 3, 2018 #561 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Flag bearer for - Manu Bhaker (Shooting)... Expected one ...Even though she has done so well in many senior world cups... Of late has been unpredictable. Her recent 593 in qualifying in asiad was good ..missing world record by 1 but went medalless in finals .. In 25m pistol..So would be interesting to watch her here... thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is almost no interest from the media in this games however all olympic passes available (a little more than 600,000) have already been distributed. So, probably we will see games with little media impact but with full venues for every event. The venues are mostly shitty because they aren't real stadiums, just training centres which they added temporary stands to (and the only real indoor stadium for 10K people in the area of olympic park will be used for... storage...). The opening ceremony will be pathetic and isn't worth my time (I don't care about ceremonies anyway) and I don't want to talk about the closing ceremony not being held because organization ran out of budget... I just hope the park will be good when I go there and that the queues for the popular events aren't too insane, my expectations are low. You're so pessimistic lol From the images I see, most of the venues look good, even beautiful! In some cases the city does all the work . Also, the opening ceremony was a great idea for this particular event and I'm sad I won't be able to be there (that's why I'm also sad about the closing ceremony not being held, but it isn't a great loss). Anyway, I have good expectations for the one week I'm gonna stay in BA. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
