As one of the most active National Threads on Totallympics, I would like to inform you that if you are interested I could create a sub-domain only for French sport fans, named like france.totallympics.com (and where instead of france we can put any word you prefer), with the same structure of Totallympics (sections, threads etc.) and in your own language. You can find more info in this thread. Let me know if you are interested

As one of the most active National Threads on Totallympics, I would like to inform you that if you are interested I could create a sub-domain only for Indian sport fans, named like india.totallympics.com (and where instead of india we can put any word you prefer), with the same structure of Totallympics (sections, threads etc.) and in your own language. You can find more info in this thread. Let me know if you are interested

Unfortunately I was not aware of those 2am CET crashes because I was never online at that time before Day 1. Some days later I asked the provider to stop night backups (which will start again tomorrow ). But moving on a stronger server from next month should completely avoid these downs.

Tokyo 2020 is coming to an end, I hope you enjoyed following them here in Totallympics! I know not everything was perfect, there were some nightly downs of the forum in the first days and some posts had to be deleted because of abusive behavior by certain users, but I think this is something will always happen on a populated forum. As always, since tomorrow the focus will switch to Beijing 2022 and Paris 2024, we want to be the first to start following the 2024 Olympic qualifications so I hope after some days of Olympic detoxification you will all be back on Totallympics and follow sports with us! In the next weeks, there will be some little forum’s software updates which I postponed to avoid problems just before the Olympics, and we will also move on a stronger server, to avoid forum’s down during traffic’s peaks. I will also have lots of hosting space, so I have thought I can create national sub-domain forums for the nations with lots of users who think their national thread is not enough. For example, I will try to launch https://italia.totallympics.com/, where Italian fans will have their own forum, in the same format of Totallympics but only for Italian fans who can write in Italian. This will allow the Italian community to grow independently in their own forum, and I’m sure Italians who want to interact with the rest of the world will keep using the “international” Totallympics as they are doing now. The great advantage comparing to the National threads is that everything would be more organized, with sections, threads etc., just like here. I chose the Italian example because I know how and where to search for Italian fans interested in the forum. But if any of you is interested I can create other nations’ sub-domains. I will setup the forum in the same format of Totallympics, then of course I would need one person (or more) who will take care of that forum and its development. You don’t need to be skilled with information technology because dealing with the forum is really simple and I could help you, the “difficult” part would be to start a community from scratch. That’s why I am mostly thinking to nations which already have lots of users on Totallympics, but if you are a country’s single member and you know how to bring your country’s people on the national forum once this will be ready, then we can obviously give a try. I think for many countries there are Facebook groups of Olympic fans or some small Olympic forums/websites here and there, and if you can potentially “move” them on Totallympics national forum then it would be easy for your community to grow, and then more people would start joining the forum when they find it on google. It will not be easy, but it might be an exciting experience and not a lot of your time is needed for that. So if any of you is interested to be the “community manager” (this word might be exaggerated, linkedin style ) of her/his country, feel free to contact me anytime via private message and we will start talking about the plan. I will not be able to pay you for that role, but of course I would give you the hosting for free so you would have no expenses of any sort, and you can always count on my help. Thank you everyone who contributed here during Tokyo 2020 and get ready for the next Olympic cycle!

Such a shame many athletes train for decades without even being able to qualify for the Olympic Games because of a very strong competition in their sports and then some random boys and girls with tooth brace who need their parents to get on the plane get an Olympic medal...

Where do the OBS commentators commentate?

Not sure if you are already aware of this nor if this is what you are looking for, but you can find the day by day schedule here:

It looks like street skateboarding is contested in a park. Where is park contest then? Maybe in streets ?

Sorry, I have just read it now. Maybe there is some maintenance at 2am CET which usually nobody notice, but for sure we can't have this in the next weeks. I will try to assure it will not happen in the next days.

We can use this thread: https://totallympics.com/topic/2039-summer-olympic-games-2020-official-day-by-day-schedule/

Thanks, all of them have been added in "Smileys 2" list.

No idea how he did that. Maybe @Griff88 you can explain us

Probably that is possible, but will need some time to find out how and I currently do not have time to make tests, probably after the Olympics. Did they work before? And do Facebook posts get embed?

I think since some years the lucky losers are decide by drawing of lots. They entered this rule to avoid match fixing in the last qualifiying match of the top seed, which could "sell" his match when he was sure will be at least a withdrawal in the main draw.

From time to time I see professional athletes registering on Totallympics. Some of them just find an event in our calendar and think registering on the forum will allow them to register for the event , but it would be nice to keep track of them. So far we surely know @brunamoura https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=cc&competitorid=194536 @Jesús https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=cc&competitorid=184663&type=result @RaileanuEcaterina https://www.issf-sports.org/athletes/athlete.ashx?personissfid=SHMDAW2403199301 I think these are the only 3 who ever posted something here. Then I also discovered @Бојан Зделар https://www.canoeicf.com/athlete/bojan-zdelar @Neko https://www.issf-sports.org/athletes/athlete.ashx?personissfid=SHIRIM1507199801 @nhemmer https://uww.org/person/nina-hemmer There are problably more, which either I forgot or which did not want to use the real name/information and so I was not able to link with any athlete Anyway we can keep track of them in this thread!

Do someone have the video game for PS4? Do you need Playstation Plus to play online?

You can also find the schedule by sport here: https://totallympics.com/qualification-tracker/tokyo2020/tokyo-2020-schedule-by-sport/
