I have a question, which I allways had, and maybe some of you can explain me this: athletes on the Olympics stay in the Olympic Village right? And who pays that? I mean, are every country's federations paying Brazil (or IOC, or someone) for each player that will stay accomodated in the village? :mumble:

I remember having an Olympic quiz game on my old mobile phone. And the right answer to that question was "host country". :d

And to add to that: who exactly can stay in the Olympic village besides athletes? Only their actual coaches, or also officials of the federations? 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Fiji NOC has decided that they will not attend the Closing Ceremony (they will return home before).

 

These are the reasons for that decision:

"One of the most dangerous countries in the World, as far as drug is concerned, as far as gun on the street is concerned."

"Health issue of Zika and "super" bug, and also malaria, yellow fever..."

 

 

and they blame Qatar for supidities :bowdown::d

7:00 pm eastern time is perfect for NBC. No one else matters, you should have learnt that by now.

 

NBC will be televising the OC on a one-hour delay.  They just can't help themselves with these delays for the Olympics, even when it's unnecessary!
