The theme of the official logo is Symphony of Nature, or rather, Symphony of the Sea. There are several elements to it. Most prominent are the sea and sand in the background. They represent the Croatian coastline. With an estimated length of 6000 km and counting more than 1000 islands, the Croatian coastline is known for its rugged nature. The boat floating on the top represents harmony. Finally, we have the music sheets written on waves together with several notes thrown around. They indeed represent the Symphony of the Sea. How does the Symphony of the Sea sound like? Well, one way to find out is by going to Zadar. More specifically to its Sea Organ. The Sea Organ is an experimental musical instrument which creates the sound by the sea waves crashing into empty pipes located underneath the large marble steps. In its essence, the Sea Organ allows the nature to take over a role of conductor. The sea tends to become melancholic on a rainy day. The logo is courtesy of @vinipereira. Join us for the Opening Ceremony in two days. Grand Final will be held Saturday, while the Closing Ceremony (incl. Medal Presentations) will close out the weekend.

I can't believe what kind of outfits triathletes wore back in those days.

Home fans have planty to cheer for. Craig Walton is leading after the swimming portion of the men's triathlon.

I remember entering Norway with this for the 2015 Open. It was my first Festival of Music.

Right, don't forget to revisit the Festival of Music. 27 songs have been entered (so far).

Why 'EE' in particular?

I feel 2018 was pretty good. Whatever the outcome, I will always remember that crazy month.

Our security system threw this warning today... Any idea what to make of this? > Three days to go Q: Collision eminent Q: Emergency procedure #996 activation access #996 procedure: XZY1 F11A EE ZL

I don't know about you, but I got hyped after this. Maybe I should look for some replays of Sydney 2000 tomorrow.

Meaning the Comoros are your African champions. Who knew they could be the best in something.

TISC is missing from the latest replies, it is a sign that 8 is too few.

And yet, there is still no second wave in China (for what their numbers are worth) or South Korea.

Australia really did have some amazing female sprinters in the 50s...

And this is why Gillian Rolton got to carry the flag.

Right. Next up are Shirley Strickland de la Hunty, Betty Cuthbert, Gillian Rolton and all the other legends.

I can see @Olympian1010 ! Oh, wait, he wasn't born yet. Nevermind...

That flag was introduced in 1961, so they had it long before the war.

Dutch Guyana may be getting another medal here. Watch out for Letitia Vriesde.

Spain 12

They literally had Guinea flag with a giant R added.
