No, there is too much $$$$ involved (which Trump is not averse too) plus there are plenty of opportunities for "America is the greatest country in the history of the world" type chest thumping with the US hosting the Olympics. With this boxing issue the boxing will either be sacrificed or the IOC is pressured into not accepting DSD athletes like these two. Sponsor pressure and broadcaster pressure ($) will do the trick. After the Bud Lite scandal no American corporation wants another trans/gender controversy (particularly with Ron DiSantis et al breathing down their necks) The same for any kind of opening ceremony controversy: there's no thing advertiser/sponsor pressure cannot solve. More interesting is what happens with the WADA dispute and the issue of Chinese athletes accused of doping. Considering that China is not exactly the most popular country in the US (irrespective of political party) I can images Trp writing on Twitter or truth whatever: "Our heroic swimmers need to compete against Chinese drug cheats and the pro-China WADA does nothing. VERY BAD!!!"

Wow! Finally!

At this point we need 5 more medals among them 1 gold to at least equalize the (already dismal) 2008 performance. Which is going to happen IMO. At least the specter of having the very worst OG in living memory is moving away slowly but surely. And then lets see what happens.

Wow! After the individual fencing competitions these two team events feel surreal to me :D :D Anyway big big respect to the champions!

What I read online: Hungarian boxing fed will protest to the Hungarian Olympic Committee and IOC for the participation of the Algerian athlete and try to make a legal challenge thereto. Even if it is not possible or not successful, the athlete will do the match. This was said by the boxer herself to , e.g. M4 Sport of and BBC Radio Sport.

At least 2 TV channels (among the one which deal with politics most or part of the time, not considering like thematic channels), a couple of newspapers (honestly few people read newspapers in physical form any more) and a good part of online media (like half?) By the way, apart from the public television, even media friendly to the gov is owned by businessmen close to the gov and not the state itself. But I am not a big consumer of media (for example on TV I only watch sports and NatGeo etc.)

Well this is political posturing by a newspaper (which started to become politicized in the last x years therefore I stopped reading it completely)

It could be worse. For example, you could be like . Hopefully you will have a better Olympics next time (at least in this discipline)

Good for she maxed out what was realistically possible.

Finally! Honestly I did not believe he can win, but fortunately I was proven wrong.

What a surprise! I wonder if these usual suspects (or more rather social media where you can write whatever you want) also started to disseminate the claim that this person is transgender (obviously not true, but it makes the story more rage-bait). BS can travel far and wide on social media, see fakenews about the identity of the Southport attacker in

Does it include all medals of "Unified Team" from 1992, even those who were not Russian? (At that time USSR already ceased to exist) This is my only problem with this kind of calculation: it is fair to include Russian Empire, the pre 1991 USSR, and the pseudo Russian teams from recent Olympics (ROC/OAR etc.)

We ain't dead yet, bitches! (As NearPup said of womens football team) Somehow, fencing team comes back from its collective deathbed and delivers this. Wohoooooooo!

I don't follow boxing but based on what transpired from the Ajan scandal in weightlifting (which I only looked up at the time because I had plenty of time during the COVID pandemic and the disgraced former president was from not because I am that much into weightlifting) I can imagine there can be a collusion between corrupt national federation leaders and corrupt intl federation executive. I scratch your back and you scratch my back. In the weightlifting case it was overlooking doping as much it was possible in exchange for support for the Ajan clique by local/continental feds. Here I imagine it is corrupt judging amenable to certain countries is the way their favors are returned. Other possible explanation is different shady business deals between the people involved But this is just an educated guess.

The results so far: 1 The games in general as a neutral spectator/fan : say 6? I like some of the venues and it seems there is a good atmosphere by local fans in most places.

Would not be surprised if this is the last appearance of boxing at the Olympics (even though it's more related to the lack of recognised federation)

This is going to be quite the match Wonder what the Argentine Vice President's next Twitter tirade will contain afterwards PS. Allez les Bleus, you deserve to win this (I am writing this as someone who wanted win the last WC, mostly b/c of Messi)

Is he (supposed from bestmen) even a real person? Or an early variant AI model which its creators forgot to update? I assume even the latest version of the Russian AI (dont remember its name) is capable of better output...

Well done ! I wanted them to take 2nd, but happy with the bronze as well. Hopefully they can add some in AA and apparatus finals.

I will check the app then. On the web version (browser) there is no toggle to change quality

That's right. I would have given the red card to the HU player in question. Even the local commentator said it deserved a red card.

It's probably not a coincidence that the Arg handball team is nicknamed "The Gladiators" "Interesting" moves from some of their players, reminiscent of other sports/disciplines...

Dont know if this is the good topic, but a technical question for Max users: Does anyone know what is the quality/resolution the Olympic content is being streamed at? (Particularly the live broadcasts) Is it different between the web/browser version and the Android/iOS/Smart TV version?

Wow for the guy from Kosice The final was much, much higher level than the last one in Tokyo. Something like this was what I expected when I stayed up late back then

As it is said in some circles : "Hungary entered the chat" . At least you will finish way ahead of us in the fencing medal table
