3 top 30 placements for Canada is a good performance

Mélodie Daoust is now listed as day to day and is expected to be back before the end of the tournament.

I really don't see what is "terrible" with any of this.

Keegan Messing has been cleared to compete, and was the only Canadian in Covid 19 protocols 

Never seen in my life a so big svk flag. This is almost as big as whole our country lol
 

After the huge disappointment of Tokyo 2020, this ceremony has been simple, nice and refreshing. 

I always do.

The Olympic Anthem should ALWAYS be sung in Greek

Sorry, was it the guy on the left or right who was the Olympic Champion in Fencing in 1976?

He is upset because IBSF would not hand him a free quota. End of story.
 
He lucked out in 2018 because IBSF still had continental spots, unlike any other Winter federation, but now they removed them because there was not enough competiton. He qualified in 2018 by virtue of being literally the only African slider ranked... So, yeah...

Cleared all my covid tests and security checks, I'll be going to the Opening Ceremonies tonight! 
 
Long story short, I know someone who knows someone and our big group got whittled down for many reasons, but I finally was one of a few to make the final cut.  Will also go to another event in a week and the Closing Ceremonies too (and Paralympic Ceremonies).  
 
It'll be a long day and we're not allowed to bring battery packs in, so I hope my phone lasts with all the pictures and updates.  Didn't want to jinx anything by celebrating too early, especially in these covid times.  
 
So excited!

I have seen the flag list, and and have no flag bearer, meanwhile  is not listed.

The United States Philippines qualified for the World Cup through the Asian Cup!
