The hosts over performing is as sure bet as any We saw what happened with Japan last time.

I'm opening the bets on how long it takes NBC to start showing their medal table from most Golds, to most medals and back

Oh dear, the French rugby team isn't opening the Games on a high note for the hosts

France have never shined well in strict organization, remember the Champions League final a few years back, when fans we entering uncontrolled and the match was delayed for how long. Or any Tour de France fan incidents. Same thing that happened in the US 10 days ago. We have seen problems in England, Germany too, so it has happened almost everywhere and it's not a novelty. To the chagrin of some, countries where i don't ever remember such problems are Russia (when they were still hosting stuff) and China. Australia have always done a good job organizing stuff, but they have the advantage of being way too far to travel and are spared from, let's say Moroccan style of fans.

Wouldn't mind a shorter daily schedule and a few delays tbh. The opening days are already severely crowded with many sports and i'm not giving my attention much to tennis, unless there is a special match happening. The players who are making it far won't be playing the Canada Masters either way, so no big deal if it's pushed a bit.

Minimum requirements to host the swimming events: 1. Have running water. 2. Measure the pool. I hope they at least have point 1 covered.

Or in other words, the teams that will lose to China and not get a medal

Avenging their loss from 3 years ago

Fiji looked the best so far and have a big chance to make the hattrick

I made a table comparing 2016 & 2020 for only the official sports threads (like the one above for 2018 & 2022), but will have to make a deep search to find where it is.

Well this is a surprising start.

Awful... Where are Sweden and Switzerland. Can the IOC and bACh get any more pathetic

Not through the mobile app. When you choose the schedule for any particular day, it shows the events by start time and not grouped by sports. If i wanted to see only a particular sport, then i will need to further filter individually..

I just want an app that allows me to collapse/ expand the daily schedule by sports Others may like it, but i don't want 10 sports being mashed up by the hour grid.

Didn't think Pogacar was the petty type, but he surprises in many ways. This has nothing to do with being tired and everything to do with the Slovenian federation not taking his girlfriend to the Olympics. This is his final FU to them after previously harshly criticising their decision.

Poor guy, they definitely forced him out, further confirming he was just a puppet. Trump is going to beat another woman, just like in 2016 He has bigger poll leads against Harris, than against Biden.

Tadej What a beast, what a rider. I'm here for the long haul and this man to beat all cycling records - most GTs, most Tour's, most Tour stages, most Monuments, most pro wins etc. The cannibal of the 21st century.

These new magical shoes are doing wonders. I propose everyone to run barefoot

Hassan is planning to compete in 4 disciplines - 1500, 5000, 10 000 and the marathon. And hopefully she will lose all 4 of them.

Benjamin beats Warholm regularly it seems this year and looks the favourite for Paris. Unusual for Karsten to loose so often.

It looks the same here. I got the standard plan it has the Olympics section and all the links. Now let's hope they will start, when the time comes.

Are the Olympics streams included in the standard plan, or i need to add the Sports add-on?

^ So you are saying, that Canada has more women, than men on their roster, without the "fancy" woke wording. I hope the IOC will be informed if any "non-female" females compete in female events, just so everything is fair of course.

The Christmas gift gets more and more obvious. Got the charity win and completely irrelevant in everything else.

Kane being trophy-less has become my favourite trend in all of sports. The guy made Bayern Munich, who were winning 5 cups every damn season, to get nothing last year and the tradition lives on tonight!
