It is, at 19:00 local time 
And there is a "taekwondo draw" that is currently ongoing

vs in first round of +78 women

150kg Chinese weightlifter Li Wenwen post a Tiktok clip telling fans don't worry about her over the "paper" bed, she sleeps on the ground...

Sara Groenewegen is  starting pitcher. What a story she is, from almost dying in 2018 (doctors gave her a 3% chance of survival) to starting the opening match for her country at the Olympics.

What I am trying to say is they accepted a bid that was proactive and wooed the IOC. This opens a can of worms moving forward where the corruption will be hidden imo

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BASERUNNING?

finally released who the very first case in our team. It is a doctor who was called in by Czech national tennis team and HAS NOT BEEN VACCINATED ??. How can you come to the Olympics as a doctor in this period and aren't vaccinated??????????

yes, and sometimes how it happens can be even tougher because of the feeling of helplessness...
 
however, with time things go better, even if (at least for me) it's impossible to completely forget and / or remove the pain deep in the heart...

Same... It is the one year anniversary of my moms passing and honestly its hard. I dont think anything can hurt you like losing a parent.
 
 

my "conscious" 10th Summer Games (I should count also the 1980 Olympics, but I was only 6 and frankly I don't remember almost anything of that period, even if I saw most things of those Games later)...
 
definitely the worst of them all, because of the empty stands but above all because it's the first time without my beloved mom (who passed away 4 years ago)...
 
not so sure I'm gonna enjoy the party as I'd like...too many disturbing memories...
 
sorry for the OT...

Well we know why Shipman isn't competing for Haiti

was just given the parade order and compared with Wikipedia, ROC will be entering 77th, will enter right before Tajikistan, and  swapped positions.
 
Athletes will be standing in the middle of the stadium (as expected) in sections, right in the middle of this will be an empty space circular in shape. The entrances will be like that in Rio (as in they cut through the middle of the stadium as opposed to going around the track).

3rd-

Don't think anyone will want India to host after the shitshow the 2010 Commonwealth Games were. The Olympics are double the size.

Exactly.  A few years back they said they would not look at bids from second-string cities, they only wanted big global mega cities.  Well, how's that working out?

for once our XD is seeded and obviously it can not end otherwise by facing the highest non-seeded opponent in 1st round..and to complete it in case of win they will face anybody else in the next round than China...yep. pure Slovak luck

Meanwhile Indonesian NOC still haven't recovered from whatever they've been smoking
 

it seems the match is still on! IOC/WT wants to replace the Chilean girl with the next best athlete from Costa Rica. didn't know that's possible only 4 days before the competition
