Then we will go for three lifelines here. 50:50 Expert Switch Team 15 Pts. 1 Million 14 Pts. 500,000 13 Pts. 250,000 12 Pts. 125,000 11 Pts. 64,000 10 Pts. 32,000 9 Pts. 16,000 8 Pts. 8,000 7 Pts. 4,000 6 Pts. 2,000 5 Pts. 1,000 4 Pts. 500 3 Pts. 300 2 Pts. 200 1 Pts. 100 I also apologise if I appear a bit slow at first. Gotta handle all these panels. Let's go.

Alright then but before we must do something. I will offer two way of playing this, just like in some countries the actual show does the same. You can either choose the classic way of playing. That means 3 lifelines and safety after Q5 and Q10. You can also go a bit riskier and go for 4 lifelines but the downside is, the safety net after Q10 won't exist. 50:50 Expert Switch Team 15 Pts. 1 Million 14 Pts. 500,000 13 Pts. 250,000 12 Pts. 125,000 11 Pts. 64,000 10 Pts. 32,000 9 Pts. 16,000 8 Pts. 8,000 7 Pts. 4,000 6 Pts. 2,000 5 Pts. 1,000 4 Pts. 500 3 Pts. 300 2 Pts. 200 1 Pts. 100 You can choose 50:50, Expert and Switch regardless. 50:50 will eliminate two incorrect choices. The "Expert" here will be @Olympian1010. You can ask him on a question if you're not sure. Switch means you can switch for a different question. Team was originally supposed as an "extended expert" but as we only have Olympian today, he will be the expert twice for you if you want to go for the riskier way. That is now up to you.

Awesome. No problem at all. As a lawyer I assume you had to give advice to someone just now?

It is soon time for our first quiz night and the first contestants are on their way! So, what will happen? Well, I don't know. Anything can happen. What's certain is, we will play a stack of questions in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" format. That means a maximum of 15 questions, objectively and subjectively going from easy to difficult and specific. You receive a question with 4 choices. Only one of them is the right answer. Contestants can at any time give an answer, drop out with the amounts of points won (yes, simply points) or use a lifeline if they need help answering a question. More into that once we start our first game. Questions were made by me, for the most part, but we will also have questions by @OlympicIRL. A small panel below the question will show if it was a question by OlympicIRL. He also looked through every single question I made, which is why he can't be part of the expert team as a lifeline. Now, without further ado, let's get ready for our first contestant. And he's from Mexico, welcome mrv86! mrv86 ♦ ♦ Mexico @mrv86 Let me know whenever you are ready.

Hello Totallympics and Happy New Year! Tonight, around 8-9 pm CET, we will start our first runs with @mrv86, followed by @Vojthas. For those who want to get involved, there is still time to support @Olympian1010and become part of the audience/expert lifeline to help contestants on specific questions.

Happy New Year.

No problem, we'll have more days.

Yes, that is allowed. Except you can't be an expert on your own run.

I'll set the start for a run or two on Saturday, 2nd January 2021. I may have one person a day or a bunch as a "full episode", it depends. First, let me know if you express interest and want a run. Also, you may raise if you want to be part of an expert team. It'll be for the "Expert" lifeline where a contestant can ask the group for help.

Of course. I never do a quiz without it.

[LOGO] I thought it would be nice to have a thread for anything quiz-related as some people seem interested into quizzing. You can do your own quizzes here or share other quizzes across the world wide web.

I'm kinda surprised nothing was done do Taekwondo, like going from 8 to 10 events or even a mixed team like in Judo. Taekwondo has always been a good option for smaller/new nations to win medals.

Looks even better than last year, the presentation.

WTA or not, how can you allow yourself to waste such a lead? Unbelieavable.

Spain.

I was hoping for Tsitsipas to win but yes, Nadal - Djokovic will be much more exciting than the forgettable US Open.

It's the outcome that matters, isn't it?

https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyklistika_na_Letných_olympijských_hrách_2016 Jolien D'Hooreová, Anna van der Breggenová, does this even make sense? Also, seems like Chinese names are spelled in a totally different way in Slovak. Shi Jinglin becomes Š' Ťing-lin.

Horrible Long Jump format.

Congrats to @OlympicIRL for the win as well as him and @mrv86 organising it, was pretty fun. My original first choice would have been Belgium but I never bothered to ask for it because I thought surely somebody took it already. South Korea and Mali were my initial choices I requested which were taken and ended up with Khadja Nin instead. Thanks to everyone who liked the Burundian entry, I think I wouldn't have made it as far with my other choices. Although to be honest it was annoying losing to North Macedonia. Alternate choices:

I'm surprised you say that. If you knew about my favourite songs/pieces ever, you'd attest me a weird taste in music. My taste totally depends on rhythm and how catchy the instruments/basslines and vocals are. That's why I find something to my likings from any genre but my main three would be European dance/trance/techno from the late 90s/early 2000s, power metal and a mix of ambience and (modern) classic. I figured I had more chances making the KO stages with the latter style but I could have had fun with other entries.

Or just accept that mainstream doesn't mean they're automatic winners?
