Olympian1010 7,418 Posted August 19, 2019 #181 Share Posted August 19, 2019 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. “Sport has the power to change the world.

The men’s event features 5 athletes, 2 from , 2 from , and 1 from () “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Griff88 1,729 Posted August 20, 2019 #185 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just watched the ceremony... And I can't stop myself from talking about the Prince who disrupted the ceremony coverage (coming in the end of the parade hoping to come in just before Morocco, but the guys outside shaking his hands more times than usual - and finally the camera abruptly switched back to the stadium ). Then someone at the VIP box clapped thinking the African Union anthem has finished, before the prince caught in the middle of sitting to his chair when the announcement to keep standing for the Olympic Anthem The drone is cool but I don't think a famous guy playing jetski is worth projecting. Even Turkmenistan doesn't go that far in opening Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameroon) 14:00 Handball (Morocco v. Burkina Faso) 17:00 Men’s Football (Morocco v. Burkina Faso) 24:00 Highlights “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
