Women’s rowing will see 5 to 6 entries an event. Looks like the sport may be growing on the continental level. Mens rowing will 8 to 9 entries per event. However there’s 10 or 11 nations competing, which is awesome. likes it’s boating events is what I’m learning.

By the way. Olympic Channel messaged me back (one media organization that actually makes sure to answer questions from fans) when I asked about their 2019 African Games coverage. Here is there answer to my question: Hi Matt-Thank you for contacting the global Olympic Channel in Madrid.We will be providing updates and news from the African Games in Rabat.We will only have live streaming on the global platform for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and highlights from the competition throughout the event.

This guys got a good voice, but he is by no means Freddie Mercury. Please sue @ queen. A know we’re giving the king more praise jfc

Now showing a sovereign UN state as part of their land. A huge no, no that they’ll get away with. Hopefully they get sanctioned . I wish the AU hadn’t just folded to Morocco when they couldn’t find a host.

These child actors are worse than ones who acted in Star Wars episodes 1-3. That’s the lowest known standard for child acting, but Morocco have graced us with a new one. Not the “first” they were looking for I’m afraid.

The drones and projections have been great. The actual performance has been a big nice meh so far.

The king of Morocco most have the hardest erection right now. I mean could the ceremony be more about him? There was a whole segment that was the national flag, followed by his seal, followed by pictures of him jet skiing.

My god they have performance drones. I’ve found the budget! @thiago_simoes

Any team Canada is getting silver too . There’s quite of few choices

I like this explanation of what we’ll see in the show. It’s like Artistic foreplay

That’s what I’ve been saying. They change their qualification dates all the time. I’ve asked and emailed ITG and Africa Regional NOC Group to see if they can give more specifics

Well I’d rather good competitions than a good Ceremony, but I do agree so far. Hopefully the show blows my mind

Well when Dumoulin shits himself going up Alp’d’Huez, so Kruijswijk will get his chance again

Benin been the news here lately. They had a complete, fair, and transparent democracy for the last 20 years. The current president decided 20 years was enough. Riots, protest, military shoots at opposition protestors, etc.

They have again repeated that 17 sports offer qualification. The Olympic Channel commentator also said so. @JoshMartini007

I like that they show a sign language interpreter on the screen. A nice little touch for inclusion

Unless there’s a terror attack, Ebola outbreak, flood/famine, or coup

At least the Koreans didn’t go to war over ethnic differences, force their countries into famine, make a new country, and then start a civil war in said new country. South Sudan has not won a medal at the African Games yet.

Anyone supporting certain countries at the African Games? I always support And l like a lot of the Western African nations. , , , anyone besides , , , , , . They win too much, or don’t take the games seriously

I could do some really flattering commentary for the athletes parade. “Here comes a country that’s president less for half the year” “Ah here comes the country with the biggest Ebola outbreak” “These athletes are here despite the unrest in their home over their presidents effort to end a long standing democracy” “There’s been a lot issues of race lately, but theses athletes are here compete” “this country is going through an extreme famine currently”. It’s a good thing the Olympic Channel hasn’t hired me yet Disclaimer: Yes, I’m aware of the serious issues that cause these events in Africa, but I find joking and talking about them one way of raising awareness internationally

The show is at the end. Just like the last edition

This ceremony’s going old school. All the time teams are lining up in rows on the field. It reminds me of footage for the early Olympics.

I’m joining in a little late, but I just got out of class for the day . Ready for a fun ceremony

He’s going to revolutionize the sport of capsizing

Opening Ceremony will air on the Olympic Channel today
