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

    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.

    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

    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.
