@Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo This new form is better, thank you!

I would like to make some memories from Barcelona 1992 in this thread. I think I have the greatest sentiment for these games. This is when I started watching the games 24/7, and the olympics became my hobby. So - how do you remember these games?

Thank you @Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo this is extremely useful. You could Edit this with some minor schedule changes which were made lately and put volleyball teams like in hockey schedule

@Olympian1010 We had this thread before https://totallympics.com/topic/2360-tokyo-2020-day-after-day-as-it-could-have-happened/ I thought we could do something similar with Beijing. But obviously it would be a new thread, here we can discuss the team qualifications. And I don't want to make any contest. Just a nice discussion, exchange of views. This Tokyo discussion was superfun for me.

We have done Tokyo predictions day-by-day once already here. But - if Tokyo games will really happen (and I still have my inner fear that we can't be sure of it) we can do it again few weeks before the games, when the qualifications will be going to the end. That could be fun.

@phelps THANK YOU! Maybe we can try day-by-day Beijing predictions - what would we watch on every day, what are the most interesting events for us, what are our medal predictions, how our national teams will be doing... Like we did with Tokyo day-by-day medal predictions and what would-we-watch-today thread ;-) @Benolympique@bmo@CCB@Col_Frost@OlympicsFan@hckosice@Jinzha@intoronto@dcro @Fly_like_a_don@Grassmarket @Gianlu33anyone interested? (sorry if I forgot somebody here) We could do it in February, when there will be one year to go (hopefully these games will not be postponed). Or in Christmas / New Year time where there will be possibly more free time from work.

@NearPup unfortunately I can't find the detailed program on the net. Do you have it? I have found only a general calendar on wikipedia. But sadly no link attached.

@NearPupThank you, I didn't know that.

It looks like there are videos from all the Sochi finals on olympic channel, as well. Unfortunately I don;t have time for preparing such a thread with day-by-day videos here, but it is possible to do. And - as you probably all know it - there are lots of videos from London and Vancouver on youtube, so another day-by-day threads could be done as well. Maybe it could be even possible to do Barcelona day-by-day finals (including some "unofficial" videos) - those were my favourite olympics ;-)

I wonder why there is no olympic schedule yet. Normally it should be available 14 months before the games.

Despite Uncertainty, Tokyo Olympics Promoted as Light at End of Pandemic Tunnel https://nyti.ms/3kLamkO

I am kind of missing writing in this thread :-( Do you think we will see Tokyo 2021 olympics or not? I would like to but I am afraid they will be cancelled.

OFF-TOPIC: Anyone has a link for Beijing 2008 men's cycling road race video? Can't find it. Last 30 kms or so, at least.

If there is Beijing schedule available already, we could do the Winter edition here ?

I would support France in men's Handball final ?

@Benolympique and what are your favourite olympic moments from French and International perspective?
