Thanks @Griff88 @Cobi!

Good morning everyone! Was not expecting to wake up seeing Canada do so well! Thanks for the points @Belle @OlympicIRL @justony @Wanderer, @rybak, @Wumo, @Vic Liu and the Italian jury.

Whelp, I'm playing against Ja'Marr Chase in fantasy this week so my week is already over

20240930_MiCo2026 Comp Schedule Version 6 Final NO CODES.pdf Here is the latest version of the schedule that now shows up on the official website. Contains a bit more information than the previous version. As for start times, the only difference I can see is that the ice dance rhythm dance starts 5 minutes earlier at 19:15 instead of 19:20.

Mixed relay would be medal contenders too I would imagine

Nice reverse jinx

I see you've finally recovered from your World Series hangover . Congrats to your team on winning! Although I was disappointed in the matchup, it's always great to see the Yankees lose and I'm still happy for Hernandez and Kiermaier (former Blue Jays), Freeman (honourary Canadian), and it's always great to see the best player in the game finally win a championship.

Catch of the year!

Happy New York Yankees elimination day to those who celebrate!

To bring some optimism to this thread, this is my first time entering TISC and I've enjoyed listening to all the different songs from the various countries entered. I see myself as a regular member going forward.

Did everyone vote?

Congratulations to comissioner Rob Manfred and the rest of the MLB media for getting their dream world series. As for my thoughts:

I think I finally figured out my top 12 songs. I'll send the votes later tonight. Overall, enjoyed listening to most of the songs!

Junior Pan Pacs Medalist Laon Kim commits to Texas (2026) (swimswam.com) Keep in mind that Texas is coached by Bob Bowman who coached Michael Phelps and currently Leon Marchand.

Cleveland Guardians will face the New York Yankees in the AL Championship series after beating the Detroit Tigers in Game 5. The only thing saving this season from being one of the worst ever (and it still might be)

Shohei Ohtani is the first MLB player to ever hit 50 homeruns and steal 50 bases in a season!!!

Probably so that Chinese and Korean viewers can watch at a friendly time, although it's weird that two sessions are in the morning and four at night

Schedule I found this link through Wikipedia so I'm not sure how accurate it is or if it's legit. It didn't show up on the official site or through google search for me. If this is actually the schedule, then it was approved already on March 13. Some things I noticed about the schedule: Alpine Skiing While the last two Olympics mixed the speed and slalom throughout the schedule, these Olympics will go back to featuring the speed events + combined in the first week and the slalom events in the 2nd week Biathlon All events happen in the late morning/early afternoon. Now that the Olympics are back in Europe as opposed to East Asia, there is no need to schedule the biathlon events late at night to accommodate European Primetime Curling Like the previous two Olympics, there's curling every day but the mixed doubles morning session starts at 10:00 instead of 9:00 Figure Skating The order of events in the team competition looks like it's been reversed (so women's short program is first and the men's is last). For the individual events, ice dance comes first followed by the men, pairs, and then women. Notably the ice dance and men's short programs are on back to back days. Freestyle Skiing/Snowboarding All of the big air and halfpipe finals are at night to accommodate US primetime. Slopestyle finals however are still in the afternoon. On the contrary, moguls and aerials events will take place during the morning/early afternoon. They were at night at least for the last 4 Olympics. The snowboarding big air events are the first events to occur and the men's qualification falls before the Opening Ceremony on Day -1. First time it's taken place before slopestyle. Slopestyle events have been moved to Days 11 and 12. On the contrary, for freestyle skiing, the slopestyle events now proceed the big air events. The slopestyle events are on Days 3 and 4 while the big air events are on Days 11 and 12. They basically swapped places from the 2022 schedule. Moguls events are now during the middle of the first week as opposed to the first weekend when it would usually take place. The dual moguls events will make its debut during the second weekend Mixed Team Aerials is now at the very end of the freestyle skiing program on Day 15. The individual aerials events are now in the middle of the 2nd week as opposed to the 2nd weekend/beginning of the 2nd week. Ice Hockey Some of the days have staggered start times as opposed to multiple games starting at the same time Women's Gold medal game scheduled at night once again Luge Both the men's and women's doubles are on the same day Short Track The order of events looks the same but there are a couple of sessions that take place in the morning. In the last two Olympics, the sessions were all at night. Skeleton Mixed team event takes place after both individual events Ski Jumping Women's Large Hill will make it's debut during the 2nd Saturday of the Games. Ski Mountaineering First time this has been held at the Olympics. Both men's/women's sprints are on Day 13 (February 19) and the mixed relay is on Day 15 (February 21) Speed Skating The 1000m and 1500m events have swapped places in the schedule with the 1000m events taking place on Days 3 and 5 while the 1500m events take place on Days 13 and 14

CANADA Gordon Lightfoot - Carefree Highway Using my song entry to pay respects to a Canadian music legend who sadly passed away last year. Gordon Lightfoot has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and a pioneer of 1960's and 70's folk-pop music.

Much improved performances in athletics and swimming compared to 3 years ago. It feels like Tokyo was the Aurelie Rivard and Brent Lakatos show while this year, the medals have been more spread out.

Worth noting that Sebastian Massabie broke the Paralympic record in the heats this morning

Bronze for Tess Routliffe
