What country is everyone in? I am in the US and just used a VPN to connect to South Korea. Now everything is working properly.

I have had no luck for the past 18 or so hours. I can barely get the page to load showing a list of available reports. I can't seem to find any contact info as well to report the issue.

I'm relieved to hear the problem isn't on my end, but still frustrating that it has been down for so long during the games.

FYI.. I am in the United States and the replays for Paris are now working on the olympics.com website. Here is the link for anyone that is interested: https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/videos/list/replays Never mind, it is back to being blocked by region.

just passed the 38km marker. Lhamo Kinzang is looking good!

I was watching Athletics and one of the commentators told an awful dad joke that made me laugh: A high jumper walks into a bar... That's a miss! This is why the world feed is superior to NBC!

Surfing has been called off for today. More information will be coming regarding the forecast for 8/1 at 17:45 TAHT today. https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/reports/surfing

The graphics package does seem to be very similar to Tokyo's. Personally, I loved Tokyo's graphics. I thought it was a very well thought out design. The font choice, colors, and layout is simple yet not boring. It looks like Paris has made some small modifications (Eiffel Tower at the right) to make the graphics iconic for Paris. I do wonder why they replaced the Olympic Rings with "Olympic Games" on the scoreboard. The only change I'm not a fan of. I am watching on nbcolympics.com and the streaming is working very well.

You can get that result on the official website, but it only works on desktops/laptops right now. They modified the way their results are presented this year and it broke a lot of functionality, especially on the mobile app. They have been really slow to issue fix updates too.... Edit: Just tried on the desktop and it won't scroll to the selected day. It always scrolls to the first day of events when you click on a particular sport.

It looks like others have found out what happened to the app in the Google Play Store. Here is a link I have to share it... don't know if it will work until the app is back visible in store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quadriq.ogwipe

I used this app during Tokyo 2020 and it looks like the developer is actively updating it for Paris 2024. It's a great minimalistic app with the schedule and a basic results system. If you just want a quick look at the schedule for a day or discipline, I highly recommend it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paris-gold-summer-games-2024/id1599727786

If the current official system doesn't change or improve, I might end up trying other sites, like NBColympics, CBC, BBC or another rights holder. Perhaps they will have developed a more user friendly results viewing system. I'm hoping the IOC and Atos is able to make some changes, because I'd much rather use the official system if at all possible.

I only save the results from the Olympics. I had been using the PDF Official Reports for years, but started archiving them about halfway through Pyeongchang in 2018. Starting in Tokyo 2020 I learned how to use a database program called FileMaker to keep all the files more organized and easier to access. Here is a picture of the current version I've got going for Paris. How long have you been collecting the PDF results? Do you use any special system/tool to keep everything organized? I wish there was an easier way to get them instead of having to click through each discipline to check for updates/new files.

I agree. I have gotten used to the Olympics occurring in the middle of the night and it was great to not have any other distractions with everyone sleeping around me. It will be a change from the past few years being awake for most of the day!

I teach at a university so I have a very flexible schedule in the summer. I’m using that flexibility and some PTO to take the entire Olympics off. I’m still working on figuring exactly what I’ll be watching, but my overall plan for each day is as follows: Wake up around 1:30 AM EDT (7:30 AM CEST) Shower, have breakfast Update any new documents or info in my Olympics database. I use a FileMaker database to track all the events and download/store all the official report PDFs. I use the Olympic Data Feed’s Common Code system to automatically label every file I import. Then, start watching events around 2:30 or 3:00 AM. Pretty much watch nonstop with minor breaks until 4 or 5 PM EDT (10 or 11 PM CEST). I will then go to bed by 6 PM EDT and repeat again the next day. Any days where surfing takes place will result in much less sleep. I might try to adjust my body clock a bit a couple days before Wednesday next week, but we will see.
