Olympian1010 7,418 Posted July 23, 2020 #172 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Here’s the broadcast schedule for the Greatest Olympic Moments: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/events/detail/great-olympic-moments/schedule/ They will show replays from 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1988, 1984, and 1968 (though I think that will just be a bunch of long jump clips spliced together). bmo 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

phelps 6,536 Posted July 23, 2020 #173 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I just can't do it...I can't watch anything Olympic anymore without getting heavily depressed... hope August 1st comes quick, so I can distract myself with a NHL overload and stop thinking to what it could have been and instead it's not... bmo, hckošice and rafalgorka 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted July 24, 2020 Author #178 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Surprisingly (or not), I am not feeling anything about the Olympics being supposed to start tomorrow. Rio 2016 was top of the line stuff for me. Both with exciting competitions in general, and an enjoyable, record-breaking medal haul for Croatia. Waking up early every day for Pyeongchang 2018 already felt like a job, especially towards the end. So maybe I'm just getting over my usual fever... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff88 1,729 Posted July 25, 2020 #179 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I decided to watch the official film of Tokyo 1964 (the Japanese one) and never realized how good it was.. Laughed at the closing when the athletes trying to lift the police-dressed guy holding Japan's name sign (they had succeeded in doing that to the Japanese flag bearer) and the sign bearer was not in the mood for that rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
