I am really sorry to announce this, but I am forced to pull of from this edition.
 
I am sadly now too busy with outside life currently (mainly fresh new job which is consuming major part of my daily time), that I do not have time to visit and participate in the forum as much as I would wish, did not have time to even listening the songs at least once.
 
I knew this will happen when I was considering my participation, sadly, it appeared to be true.
 
Sorry for that @Cinnamon Bun one more time. I was really looking forward for your edition
 
It is definitely not a farewell, rather a temporary hiatus until my free-time will be more open and friendly, sadly, it is not going to be sooner than next year for sure.
 
 
Anyway, when I will have some time i will try to watch a take a look on the thread and contest.
 
Wish you all good luck and happy contest.

And here we go!
 
Withe the best practices of elections in russia. Furthermore - Roberto Rivello who chaired voting session did not allow any questions to candidates.
 
 

I would suggest checking youku.com for some more Olympic videos

Arbitrary application of the law is a real halmark of autoritarianism. The IOC has no issues whatsoever bending or completly ignoring the IOC charter when it favours King Thomas.

According to our media the IOC ethic committee sent a letter to 111 IOC members to clarify who is eligible to run for the office of the head of the IOC.
 
And it looks like Sebastian Coe may be not allowed to run for the head of the IOC office since he is a member of the IOC as a head of the World Athletics and his term will be finished in 2027.

That is real ROFL )))))
 
Russia has a "Friendship cup" in Perm these days.
 
They announced 4 team: 3 national teams - russia, Venezuela, Colombia and "Parma" (local basketball club).
Propaganda described it as an international tournament to show that russian sport is not totally blocked.
Kirilenko was happy to see national teeams from South America.
 
And...
 
"Parma" won the first quarter against Colombia  - 41:2
Total score - 155:53.
 
And... Colombian basketball federation stated that they did not send national team there )))
Furthermore - they even  did not receive invitation ))))
 
P.S. It looks like none of that players played for Colombia ever ))

Hi @Gianlu33, @Griff88, @JoshMartini007, @mpjmcevoy, @vinipereira, @Vic Liu, @Cinnamon Bun, @hckošice, @rybak, @Josh, @avlar, @heywoodu, @Epic Failure, @phelps, @ChandlerMne @Grassmarket, @De_Gambassi, @Olympian1010, @konig, @Monzanator , @dodge, @PHI2019, @Fer GUA Attached is points table based on Top 8 performance in each event where 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 7 pts, 3rd gets 5, 4th gets 2.5, 5th gets 2,6th gets 1.5, 7th gets 1 and 8th gets 0.5 pts. To measure nations' performance few terms have been introduced
'Quota' is number of participants per country in each event. Qualified but non-participation is not included in Quota.
'Top 8' is the number of events a country finished in Top 8.
Conversion = Top 8 / Quota which implies Contingent quality.
'Normalized Points' = Points / (Number of events in that sport). For example, if a country wins just 1 Gold in Archery, they will get 10 points but 10 points/ 5 events = 2 Normalized Points. This metric will be high for countries who earn points in multiple sports.
Aquatics events  has been divided into sports like 'Artistic Swimming', 'Swimming', 'Water Polo' and 'Diving' otherwise 'Sport' can be defined as set of events governed by same federation
 
Salient Observations
1) The nations' rank for points is closely related to rank of total medals won
2)  is ahead of  in points table by a fair distance but very close in Normalized Points as  dominates multiple sports like Diving, Table Tennis, Badminton
3) Countries like  ,  ,  , are ranked high in points table but low in Normalized Points as they won medals in very few sports
4) Despite winning no medals,countries like  ,  ,  have earned decent points
 
Please put in your comments and feedback. There might be data errors due to primary data errors, misinterpretation, or less information on a sport

Now the 1992 playlist on youtube is totally updated

It looks like Sabrina Voinea challenged Barbosu's medal at the Swiss Federal Court. Here we go again...

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKCbaQ0OwnXuRaSyhQYZQC40ztNu3WWBA
 
I made an Playlist for the 1992 Olympic games with the videos that are on youtube, is not 100 percent upgrade with the spreedsheet but im updating ASAP.
 
the events are in day and hour order.
 
i already got a lot of events from 1992 so i think i will go to 1980 which is my another favorite, but if you guys want to send a video from any olympics feel free and just follow the rules above.
 
thanks =) 

Hi everyone,
 
I'm starting this thread to share an Olympic Games database, covering the Olympic Games throughout the years. I began with the 1992 Olympic Games, but I will add content from other Olympic Games as well.
 
This thread is meant to compile full events or highlights from past Olympic Games that were televised, all in one place.
 
In some cases, the events have the natural audio of the event, uploaded by the IOC on their YouTube page or website.
 
In other cases, events were recorded by individuals who enjoy preserving Olympic Games commentaries from their country, and these recordings are available on various video websites.
 
Some rules for this thread are:
Only TV coverage of the events is allowed. One event can have multiple TV coverages from around the world; for example, the Final of the 1992 Basketball event can have both BBC and NBC coverage. No amateur footage is allowed. No footage from official films is allowed. Videos from websites other than YouTube are also allowed.  
You can submit a suggestion for any Olympic Games here in the thread, and I will add it to the database.
 
If you want to send suggestions, you can also contact me via private messages.
 
Below is the link to the spreadsheet. If you have any suggestions to improve the spreadsheet, feel free to share them in the thread:
 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11QFuTPsLQdFF6PW8YYn5RzOPsZzVl7Xlwl_23a6VeNs
 
Note: If i liked your post that means that i already updated the spreadsheet with the video that you provided. i'm doing this to track what i have already insert into the spreadsheet or not.
 
 

Welcome back Paja !

Wow, I have noticed that they invited russians as jury members. Andreev for men and Andrianova for women

If he does then some countries will leave the IOC.
