Yea, at this point mostly a lot of political bluster.  I don't think the IOC needs to be searching for an alternative just yet.

I'm going to Netherlands-South Africa on Saturday.  Thought about trying to get to one of the US matches, but the schedule didn't work out.  But I've been following this match today.  What a result!  Especially since it took a boundary to force that super over in the first place.
 
U-S-A!  U-S-A!!

All medalists are tested.  So by default.. yes, they did

I know this is a very heavily Americanized point of view, but they're probably looking at what's going on with the NCAA and how the athletes are starting to get their share of the money that is being made and figure that needs to start happening with the Olympics.  The days of amateurism are long gone and the prestige of winning an Olympic medal shouldn't be the only reward coming from the IOC (as opposed to payouts from the respective NOCs)

Speaking as an American, I'm not concerned what the IOC's opinion is on that one.  I just pray this nation would be strong enough to survive until 2028 at that point.  G-d help us all if Trump wins the election.  I mean like actually wins the election, not that he and his supporters whine like toddlers that they think he did.

Agreed that hearing your anthem is a big deal and if any AIN athletes win gold, they'll be deprived of that.  Wouldn't necessarily call that humiliating though.  Russia's flag and colors and anthem deserve no place in Paris.  So I'm fine what that aspect of this

Not a humiliation to the athlete.  They get to keep the medal and their name goes into the record books.  It just doesn't get credited to Russia/Belarus.  At the end of the day, is that going to be important to them?  I doubt it.

So the next 6 Olympics would be France, Italy, United States, France, Italy, United States?
 
I obviously can't speak for Italy, but I don't think there will be an appetite for another Olympics so soon.  And obviously that's a big "if" regarding their success

Good call, forgot about that.  Although the full schedule for basketball with start times might not come until a little later since they still have the qualifying tournaments

The athletics timetable has been public for awhile, but that's new and very welcome info with swimming and gymnastics.  Thanks for sharing!  I have some spreadsheet updating to take care of!
 
Next big piece of the puzzle is the football draws next week.

Hi all.  Finished work on my spreadsheets (for now).  There are 2 separate ones for now, but they're linked to each other.  One goes day by day, the other is sport by sport..
 
Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day
Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport
 
I'll update these as more of the schedule gets filled out, like matchups in team sports and breakdown of individual events in sports like swimming (I have the track events in athletics broken down by time.
 
If anyone has additional information to add or new schedules get released, I'll add them here.  Don't know how much I'll keep up during the games as the team sports reach the elimination rounds, but anyone who wants to help is more than welcome!
 
And if anyone has any suggestions on how to make improvements here, I'm open to opinions.
 
Thanks!
