  1. Very helpful graphic
  2. Happy for the Dutch ladies But still no broadcast
  3. Hell, I am tortured in these last days of the Games. Not even a single TV in Europe broadcasting the badminton final
  4. *Buenos Aires 2018 submitted its homework* Napoli 2019: Can I copy your homework? BA 2018: Yeah just change it a little bit so it won't be obvious *Napoli 2019 cut the top diagonally* Lima 2019: Can I copy your homework? BA 2018: Yeah just change it a little bit so it won't be obvious Lima 2019: Who cares, the year is different, it won't be the same...
  5. Lol the cycling commentator gasped for air after he screamed "VOLIKAKISSSSSSS"
  6. As usual badminton must make way to other sports in Olympic Channel
  7. Ireland guaranteed at least bronze in badminton
  8. Unfortunately "a successful Games (or Championships)" must include the host's success too. I remembered after Euro 2008 and 2012 our media created the slogan "UEFA Euro: Hosted by Losers"
  9. Any badminton stream? Since Channel 4 of OC is showing shooting before they continue badminton QF....
  10. Well that's archery... In compound match: "If only it used recurve scoring" In recurve match: "If only it used compound scoring"
  11. So damn close...
  12. The music guy at the archery venue really having fun with his job. Playing Eurovision songs, and then 'It's Raining Men' when the rain is heavier
  13. And the protest managed to boot van den Berg from the competition after failing the shoot-off
  14. Unfortunately it's the propaganda that stuck in people's head About 80% of educated young voters from the recent election don't know what "Regional Representative Council" (the upper house of the parliament) is despite it is repeated in all 3 stages of school (primary, junior high, and high school). Some even leave the ballot paper intact because the whole focus is the presidential race
  15. In Indonesia anthem and flags are also a revered subject. There is a subject at school that if literally translated became "Citizenship Studies", where you study the government system, how the parliament works, citizenship laws, dissecting the constitution, and some sprinkle of indoctrination about anti-communism etc. I have to say this is quite successful in shaping average Indonesians way of thinking and their thought about national symbols, resulting in often overproud sentiment (and refusal to stand when asked to stand for other countries' anthem while singing our own anthem like mad). Back at high school, my "Citizenship Studies" teacher is a perfect model of "making a really big deal of anthems and flags". She criticized the Jehovah Witnesses in our school, getting mad if she caught someone singing the anthem wrong, angry because during a flag hoisting ceremony there is a few centimeters gap left at the pole (not "fully hoisted"). Guess she can be famous in the US
  16. Nice one, a bronze for
  17. The other 3 medalists' face at the medal ceremony looked like they're going to stab Amiraslanov later this day...
  18. Flags on LED Screen, now that's unacceptable for a continental multievent
  19. Interesting final, Korakaki wanted the match a bit longer?
  20. Aaaaand we have them on the bronze medal instead...
  21. Go !! Oops. I mean, Go !!
  22. I wonder what went wrong that made her taped the NOC logo
  23. ACM and Inter: San Siro will be demolished, new one ready by 2023 Comune de Milano: TU NON PUOI PASSERE!
  24. Watching the canoe sprint reminded me when I was angry that the Asian Games organizers said that they couldn't afford broadcast for rowing and canoeing...
