We don't have any sneak peek yet but the ceremony is already 'lit' The new committee for opening ceremony are dominated by male (looks like the gender equality doesn't work in this part) and one of them boasted about bullying a disabled classmate a few years back

Yeah I’m planning to stop too. Can’t hold it anymore

Haven't checked the rest, but our weightlifters Eko Yuli Irawan will compete a day after his birthday and Deni will compete a day before his birthday (both compete in 25 July)

Nafi Thiam (Athletics) and Felix Denayer (Field Hockey) https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2021/07/17/belgium-s-two-olympic-flag-bearer-s-in-tokyo-gender-and-region/ Dara Alizadeh (Rowing) https://bernews.com/2021/07/dara-alizadeh-named-bermudas-flag-bearer/ falls to the IOC pressure and added Alona Ostapenko (tennis) https://jauns.lv/raksts/sports/452773-olimpiska-kustiba-aizsak-jaunu-tradiciju-latvijai-atklasanas-ceremonija-bus-vel-viens-karognesejs

Wow, I don't even think this badminton mad nation will get the access for all 3 courts (I hope I'm wrong ofc)

So in the end, I will watch the Olympics from the official streaming service.. It's only USD 2 but I'm still upset since at Rio they provided it for free Also I kinda have to tinker a bit with the TV Box from my Internet provider in order to install the official streaming app, since my TV is still Dumb TV (i.e. not Smart TV) and my TV Box doesn't allow any extra app to be installed

No big mistakes in the Indonesian athletes, except that Riau Ega Agathas' birth month mistakenly listed in olympedia (IOC was correct this time). I'll email the missing birth places later on

If that tragedy means Hendra Setiawan can get another gold, I would gladly accept it.

The safest medal for is probably Eko Yuli Irawan in weightlifting, with the most likely colour is silver. Even if we have first and second seed in badminton men's doubles, neither of them are considered "safe" (according to my standards)

Abidine (5000m) and Houleye Ba (100 m)

Or maybe some pooping, since seeing such images may give some discomfort

Hopefully yes, but the Polish athlete should not have too much hope on that

Seems like the latter, I think the BWF officials are still having their breakfast atm

Soren Opti to withdraw after testing positive twice in his home country

Azzahra Permatahani (Swimming) is the only Indonesian 2018 Youth Olympian to compete in Tokyo 2020

Or they might decide that they will sort the schedule according to rank instead of group draw order. My friends are also confused with this

apparently now has 4 if we check the athlete list at the website. The male hurdler is missing from the list and I just read a story about the Laotian boxer who just recently knew that he did not actually got a quota (Laotian NOC wasn't notified anything and he had already booked the flight)

https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/all-sports/athletes.htm It's now live!

@Vic Liuprobably this the likely opening ceremony outfit since it has the national emblem

We don't know about Schick but the scorer was Swikku Jokes aside, would be interesting if they broadcast anything about Tokyo 2020 a few weeks later

Our friends in still have a long way to go to know who is the winner, today they're showing vs group match

Nothing seems to be ready yet, the Estonian Olympic Committee website had schedule, result, and medal widgets from the info system but they all display "There are currently nothing to display at this time."

Gender equality? Let's not kid ourselves. Men's rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming haven't been added yet...
