Meanwhile things aren't exactly going splendidly here Basically everything was recently reopened, in the case of things like night clubs and dance places one needs to have a negative test, something which a lot of young people have avoided with fake test results and forged QR codes and such The expected result of opening the night clubs and such too early is a little obvious in the numbers of the past few days: July 2nd: 941 July 3rd: 1125 July 4th: 1215 July 5th: 1519 July 6th: 2209 July 7th: 3646 July 8th: 5431

But what was Vestergaard supposed to do here? He was standing there and Sterling came running up against him, was he supposed to simply move out of the way and let Sterling go for a free shot on goal? It's not like Vestergaard was actively doing much in that moment..

Yeah alright, I might have been exaggerating a little

This is going to be one of those rare matches where 0-0 might be the most interesting situation...these really are two teams who'll basically park the bus and kill the match as soon as they make a first goal.

Was that the one where little Sterling basically jumped against the three times taller Danish guy (who of course didn't move because it was like a mosquito hit him) and then of course fell down and hoped for the referee to fall for it? Not sure if that was the same moment, but it looked sort of hilarious, like he was trying to break down a wall by jumping up against it but the wall refused to move

Ik heb ook twee weken vakantie genomen en goedgekeurd gekregen, uiteraard met als enige doel om de Spelen te kijken! Net als bij de voorgaande twee Spelen wordt het dan een kwestie van mijn leefritme aanpassen aan de olympische dagen. Wakker worden rond 7u en gaan slapen rond 23u dus (plus/minus een uurtje hier en daar), maar dan wel op Japanse tijd. Soms even wennen, maar uiteindelijk is het niet heel anders dan anders, als het je lukt om gewoon je normale tijd te slapen (dat kan misschien lastig zijn als het overdag erg warm is of je kamer niet donker genoeg is, zulke dingen). Discovery+ is me nog steeds niet heel duidelijk, behalve dat ik vrij zeker weet dat het een online streamingdienst is (en geen zender op TV). Op FOK! doen we ook een poging om duidelijkheid te krijgen, maar net als hier heerst ook daar toch wel onduidelijkheid over wat er nou precies de bedoeling is wat betreft de Eurosport Player en/of Discovery+. Zelf heb ik in elk geval al jaren de Player en ik ga er van uit dat nagenoeg alles daar gewoon te kijken is, live en on demand. Als dat niet zo is, en op Discovery+ wel, dan neem ik daar wel een maandje een abo, die paar euro heb ik er echt wel voor over om álles te kunnen kijken, dan maar even een drankje of twee minder bestellen als ik uit eten ga ofzo! Verder ben ik nooit van mening dat één plek de beste is om te kijken, zeker tijdens iets groots als de Spelen. De ene keer zal de NOS de beste optie zijn, de andere keer de Player, dan weer Sporza en dan weer eens de BBC, het hangt van allerlei zaken af als commentatoren, het aanbod, etc. Wat ik het meest jammer vind is dat we het mountainbiken straks bij één van deze opties moeten kijken. Normaal kijk ik alles gewoon altijd op Red Bull TV, dus met Rob Warner en Bart Brentjes voor de cross-country, dus uitgerekend de belangrijkste wedstrijd van allemaal moeten kijken met iemand die ongetwijfeld minder enthousiast over komt dan die twee...erg jammer

Kane hits a Danish foot and claims a penalty for doing so. No sir.

Any idea what happened with Canada? They now have 0 eligible women and men https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/list/owg/cc/2022

Booooooooooom Damsgaard!!! What a freaking cannon ball

Here come the empty headed people and their threats to Morata and his family again....

I do think weightlifting will get back, at some point (I might be naive, but sometimes that's less depressing ), so athletes who are barely 20 or didn't even get there yet might have some more hope than the ones who are already in their thirties now..

Apparently the Dutch weightlifting federation got confirmation from the Dutch NOC that they will actually accept Kuworge's quota Dutch weightlifter at the Olympics (and a still very young one at that, so plenty of room for progress!), I didn't think I'd live to see the day

And people seem to think that watching all night and half day means you don't sleep, but if you don't have obligations like work and such, you'll still be perfectly able to sleep the same amount of time as always

Weightlifting, triple jump, shooting for the first three I assume, where is Moldova's chance? And taekwondo for the ROT?

I'm likely going all-out to be able to follow Beijing 2022 as close as possible, but I think that's understandable if a certain someone qualifies Other than that, I don't think I can see myself not try and follow all or at least most of any Olympics, except when at some point children could be a factor and their school vacations are the only time in which to go on holiday or something.

And also welcome @asiulka2002 And @Cinnamon Bun!

Welcome @Patlidzan!

Actually I find it perfect when Olympics are during the night. Basically nobody else is awake then, so I can give my undivided attention to the Olympics and only communicate with people related to the Olympics instead of the usual daily things (and have the groceries delivered, of course, although I already have 30 packs of noodles for nightly hunger )

Together with Martina , Aït Saïd is my favourite choice so far

You're only getting them now? I mean, as soon as we knew it's in Japan, I was going for sleeping from roughly 17:00 to 00:00 and that's still the plan, depending on the exact days. Meaning my sleeping doesn't change, only the time does Obviously this is only possible because I'm free from work. If that's not possible or you have a child or something, this simple solution becomes near-impossible

Anywhere between 15 and 35 would not be surprising A ton of medal chances, but that includes a whole lot who are not necessarily the main favourite and could just as well finish 4th or 5th.
