    Another one bites the dust... My guess is that these games might not happen, but we’ll see. Either way, the period running from July 2021 to November 2022 is going to be jam packed with big events. There’s just going to be multi-sport games after multi-sport games in the 2020-2024 cycle This year, and half of next year, will suck, but then it will get epic quickly. I’m actually really beginning to like the schedule, even if it’s messed up my plans quite a bit.

    It’s official, there will be elections in Wisconsin tomorrow (in-person voting only). The state GOP part sued the state to keep elections tomorrow, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed with them that elections must take place tomorrow (and that voting must be done in person). I swear the GOP wants to spread this virus

    I don’t know if anyone can answer this question, but was there any other documents besides Start List/Result available for the 2010 YOG. We talk about terrible results systems all the time, but there wasn’t even one for Singapore2010. There was just some PDFs posted to website, which is less than ideal. I just want to know if there was more available, or if that’s what I have to work with?

    Today marks 124 years since the beginning of modern Olympic Games. Tokyo2020 will commemorate the 125th anniversary of the games next year.

    I believe there’s a few on the Olympic Channel, but don’t quote me on that. I do too much searching to keep crap straight anymore.

    What does a Comoros coup look like? All 15 people that live there gang up on the guy in charge?

    This seems a bit too much to me. The exceptions are good, but the enforcement of these codes by the military worries me. There’s a point where protection from infection goes too far, I think Slovakia continues to play with that threshold...

    I was born 9 days after the flame was extinguished

    I did exist though at this point (from a technical standpoint)

    Well, huh. Only points 3 and 4 mater then Side note: I love the current Rwandan flag

    Eswatini is the endonym for the country (meaning the name that the people themselves use), while the Swaziland was the exonym (the name people outside used). They switched to the endonym as a way of distancing themselves from their colonial past.

    Explanation for this is quite simple. 1) They had just been through one of the worst wars in modern Africa. 2) They needed colors that weren’t used by a particular faction. 3) Red, Yellow, Green are the Pan-African colors. They represent the unity of Africa and it’s people. They are homage to Ethiopia who strayed independent from European colonization (except for the brief period before and during WW2 when those Italian thugs launched a war on them). 4) You add the R because you know, to be different than Guinea.

    @intoronto ITG is reporting that Hamilton has become the preferred Commonwealth Games bid candidate for Canada! Now they’ll decide rather to go for 2026 or 2030. Personally I prefer 2030 for very obvious reasons (the first edition of the games were held there 100 years earlier), so hopefully that’s what they go with.

    Yeah, those red lines they added are an abomination.

    Myanmar wasn’t Myanmar then either...

    The most Democratic nation the world!

    Yeah they adopted the new flag just before the Arab Spring I think...maybe after. It’s hard to keep track of the political comings and going’s of the Arab questions.

    I just realized that Libya will still have their dumb green flag here

    Sydney came just after the end of the War of Independence against Indonesia I think. That was a long/bloody conflict (as those usually are)

    The very little French I know comes from ceremonies, and the names of sports/equipment/dates on multi-sports website. Plus, like Spanish, some of the words are similar to their English counterparts.

    I highly interested in the Sun-God rituals of the ancient Rabatababa people. I love the “ceremony” parts of the ceremony. The show, raising the flags, anthems, etc. (just not the speeches, those can go (and I feel like we can all agree on that). It’s one of the coolest ways to learn the culture and history of a country. Plus, I’m about to go through 16 incredible days of sport, give me an awesome cultural performance before that!

    And there goes a trivia question...

    Nap time! I love that athletes get a moment in the spotlight, it just isn’t my cup of tea.
  24. Olympian1010
    I know footage exists from those games, but I don’t know how watchable it is
  25. Olympian1010
    I will say that while I’m upset Covid has taken love sports from us, it has also given previously unuploaded replays
