Well, I definitely plan to attend as of now. Will be fishing for some dressage/eventing tickets at Versailles, and then possibly something in between. I will not be stacking my schedule though. Max 2 events per day, but preferrably 1.

Damn, how come nobody remembered this song last year? It would have been the perfect official anthem of the TOISC 2020. @heywoodu

GOOOOLD Damn, I correctly predicted Schaufelle taking the gold in golf.

Golf improved nicely, but the biggest winners are obviously sailing, triathlon, BMX and rhythmic gymnastics. Artistic swimming saw a good improvement, too. Rowing and track cycling got somewhat lucky with scheduling. Especially rowing. Football suffered from morning games (European time).

Probably work -> beach every day.

This presentation did nothing for me, but I will definitely aim to experience the Paris Games in person (if only for a couple of days and for a few sports).

Yeah, they really tried to get away with Youtube clips here. Go watch Moscow 1980 ceremony if you are interested in various folk dances.

This segment was called "confetti meets dizziness".

Which makes the addition of new sports paradoxical.

Bach is the Olympic champion in fencing?

And now they playing the EU anthem...

I don't see Japan in any of this...

Okay this is as unwatchable as the opening ceremony.

Was there ever an interesting closing ceremony?

OLYMPIC CHAMPION FENCING 1976 The emperor is here.

Summary itself is bad. So much for the Olympic "equality".

Oh yeah... Anyone looking forward to going back to work tomorrow morning? I swear I will not be wasting one day of vacation on Beijing 2022.

Wow, that's harsh. Did not expect to be in the top 10 here. These Games were successful for us, but if we are not careful, we may end going down the Lithuanian road.

It's not really dangerous though.

Kipchoge joins the exclusive group of title defenders. Abebe Bikila and Waldemar Cierpinski. Can't believe people are calling him the GOAT though. I guess every GOAT must be an active athlete? Ugh. Dutch Democratic Republic got their own Cierpinski? Not sure how critics will react. And yeah, I overslept the alarm for both marathons. I guess not very surprising after my breakdown Friday afternoon, at least I got 10 hours of sleep yesterday.

It's definitely final. Only weightlifting (and maybe boxing?) can get excluded at this point.

Not worthy of an Olympic final. Guess the Americans will secure the medal table even without boxing.

Apparently Matthew Glaetzer's Instagram is getting bombarded with Malaysian hate comments...
