  1. Politicians carrying in the flag…
  2. This is…off to a rough start…
  3. gets a standing ovation with the loudest cheers of the night. I think most of us could have predicted that ahead of time…
  4. Slovakia is entering @hckošice You’ll be happy to know that the stadium announcer did place the right countries with the right flags
  5. get more muted receptions than most, follows up with one of the louder cheers… Crowd has been very supportive of the most of the delegations though
  6. Beginning with the parade of nations tonight
  7. We’re just under an hour out from the opening ceremony
  8. I watched a little bit of the roller sports speed skating training earlier today. I’ll be very interested to know how the venue comes across on TV. It’s essentially a asphalt loop plonked down in the middle of a parking lot outside an old steam power plant.
  9. It didn’t make the article, but organizers hyped a “clapping” drone show and the appearance of a “human drone” during the opening ceremony.
  10. The IWGA posted a schedule for the 24/7 livestream available on Olympics.com: https://www.theworldgames.org/pages/twg2022streaming Results system is available as well: https://www.theworldgames.org/editions/Birmingham-USA-2022-13/infosystem
  11. I didn’t want to jinx anything, but I just arrived in Birmingham to cover The World Games 2022 It’s my first time attending a multi-sports games in-person, so hopefully it’s an enjoyable experience
  12. A little look at one of the venues.
  13. This should answer our discussion above @rybak
  14. I’ve really enjoyed this edition of the Games. The atmosphere was phenomenal, and the sports entertaining. It’s unfortunate that the results system had some issues, and that there wasn’t an international broadcast made available. Oran2022 wasn’t without its quirks, setbacks, and difficulties, but it was a fun event to follow as a fan. Plus, I got a good story out of it, so hard to be disappointed with that
  15. Yeah, the atmosphere at these Games has been fantastic. The treatment of French athletes has been unfortunate though. Otherwise, the crowd has been mostly supportive and a big positive for this event.
  16. They did upload some replays after Wrocław 2017, especially a year after where most of the sessions broadcast were available on the Olympic Channel. Unfortunately, those videos mostly disappeared after updates to the Olympic Channel
  17. Some more info on livestreaming: https://www.theworldgames.org/news/The-World-Games-2022-32/Olympics-com-streams-The-World-Games-2022-2293 @heywoodu @Grassmarket
  18. claims the last gold medal of the athletics program (men’s 4x400m), and the crowd is going nuts. What a moment for the host nation.
  19. Even the organizers are caught off guard by their success, playing the wrong anthem during the men’s discus medal ceremony Mistake was corrected and apology issued before the correct anthem was played. At least he still got his moment.
  20. has now won three gold medals in the last hour. Super Sunday for them
  21. Antoniou takes gold in women’s 100m freestyle Quite the podium . Definitely one you don’t see often in international swimming.
  22. goes 1,2 in men’s 800m. Proceed to carry a flag around the track…
