I see some progress in the newer generations. Some younger athletes who are gay are just living their lives freely and I feel there isn't so much of a pressure to came out anymore. But of course each case is different and for most of them the possibility of living their truth comes only after they retire from the sport.

Yeah. For Brazil I can only think of Arthur Nory (Gymnastics) and Douglas Souza (Volleyball) when considering active athletes who participated in the Olympics (both Rio 2016 medalists). And I don't think they will be in Paris (Nory has a slim chance of being selected, but Douglas doesn't want to play for the NT anymore). Maique (Volleyball) might join them but probably won't be on the team.
 
There's also a few that are pretty much "out" on social media but have never officially spoken about it.

won both Paralympic races (PR1M1x and PR3Mix2x) and will have to selected one of the boats. The other quota will go to  or .
 
Unfortunately I think that the PR1W1x event wasn't held, probably due to a lack of participants.

Yeah, since they don't have the guts to award something like 'Anatomy of a Fall' or 'Past Lives', it was a good choice.
 
Something noticeable is that they awarded the same winners of BAFTA in ALL categories except Visual Effects ('Godzilla' wasn't nominated there). Predicted 17/23 but I wish I had paide more attention to them.

I did complie a list of films I watched in 2023. You can find my thoughts and ratings for most of them here: https://boxd.it/ti5Xg$WfClDvILULgq0r9T

As @Olympian1010 reminded us, they'll nominate any song Diane Warren writes. In the past decade she has been nominated multiple times for abhorrent work.

THE LOGO
 

 
The Radio is symbol of TAISC 2024

 
This year marks the centenary of the beginning of radio broadcasts in Italy (October 6th, 1924)


In Italy, which on a technological level was the homeland of radio, use of radio transmissions was permitted only for military purposes,

and a 1910 law prohibited its use by civilians.
Only in 1924, a  late compared to the rest of the world, began the commercial broadcasts.


For the logo the radio chosen is Radio Cubo ts522, this model is designed in 1962 by architects Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper and marketed since 1964 by Brionvega, an Italian company (active from 1945 to 1994) specialized in the consumer electronics sectors.

Examples of this radio are permanently exhibited at the MOMA in New York and at the modern art museums of La Jolla, Osaka and Sao Paulo.
 


Key dates of italian radio history

In August 1924 the Italian Radio Union (URI) was born, it held the government concession to broadcast and there was only one radio station.
January 1928 - URI becomes EIAR (Italian Auditing Body). Italian radio becomes a means of mass communication
December 13th, 1931 the first radio commentary of the football match was broadcast (Italy vs Hungary)
After the end of the war in 1944, Rai (Radio Audizioni Italiane) was born and the radio entered the homes of the majority of Italians.
In 1950 the reform of the radio system established the creation of three networks
In 1951 the first edition of the Sanremo Festival was broadcast live
In 1976 did the RAI monopoly lapse thanks to a ruling by the Constitutional Court and the broadcasters already active in Italy (around 400), so-called "pirate radio" will then become "free radio"
In the 1980s, private national radio stations began to emerge, many of which are still active today
