Yeah, this performance should get the athletes and fans amped for the Games.

My stream cut right before he lit it

Do you think Siri counts a proformer?

Might be the first time I’ve seen active competitions during the opening ceremony. Some weird scheduling.

PanamSports, OBEDO, ODESUR, CANOC, COES, COSSAN, CentroCaribeSports…yep, everyone’s here. My job is mostly me learning these acronyms and what they do, and then explaining that to people

not winning the gold medal in sound mixing

bringing some energy Like I said, I’ll be super happy with any medals. Archery and Sailing are probably the best bets. It’d be really cool if the basketball teams could find their way into the finals bracket.

Ah, they are all coming out together it seems. Thank goodness.

Honestly wouldn’t shock me if they weren’t built yet, given what I’ve read about other Games’ infrastructure… Edit: I do see the lights, so it must be a creative choice.

Flagbearers only in the parade on nations?

The video players on their website (predictably) sucks.

A fully packed stadium. There’s something you wouldn’t see in

Bukele arrived with what I’m assuming are special service guards. They had briefcases (gun cases?), which I’m assuming are for weapons. So that’s something I haven’t really seen before…

Okay, ceremony is live on channel 1 on the website.

I’m watching Claro’s coverage, so I can tell you it hasn’t started yet.

Anyone know the actual starting time of the opening ceremony? It doesn’t seem to be 19:00 (local time) as advertised.

Gotta say…Bornan created some gorgeous broadcast graphics for this event. They include more data and are more accurate than the graphics from the last edition as well.

Good luck finding that footage ISB was actually the host broadcaster for a few editions, so I’m sure coverage exists somewhere.

This has to be just about the ideal scenario for them, right?

will qualify teams in eventing if they finish the competition at the Central American and Caribbean Games. will compete for two individual quotas.

The spring one, yes. We’ll have an “older songs” version in the fall Don’t worry too much about it, there will be posts around the time of the contest.

No, all those platforms offer replays for free (you may have to create a free profile for most), but some have a limited offering altogether. Most have switched over to their own OTT (over-the-top) streaming platforms. Some have began to charge for subscriptions as an extra revenue stream. Personally, I think they should charge a small fee for live events, but leave replays free after a certain date. This way they can still make some money, but also allow people discover and enjoy the sport in the years following those events.

Also, missed this stat earlier today, but Damian Quintero became the first athlete to win a gold medal at all three editions of the European Games.
