Russian and Belarussian athletes can compete as neutrals in the Paralympics



there'll be a statement to come for the Olympics though, although this same neutrality was discussed for the olympics either

[Nicky91]

should they win anything, we will more hear the olympic anthem rather than from their respective nations

[Nicky91]

all participating countries for the 2024 summer olympics

BBC only get to show two screens at one time because IOC sold out. It’s a disgrace what they’ve done.

You’ll need discovery+ if you want every event live.

of course, some events take longer like rugby, handball, archery, football


and archery had to start today instead of tomorrow since tomorrow you also got rehearsals for the opening ceremony outside, and there might otherwise be risks of the opening ceremony staff getting accidentally hit by arrows

they also have done the draw for the tennis today

HBO Max is definitely worth it, also for the Olympics

they do not lie, at all


they basically show everything live, while the national broadcasters show wherever they have athletes competing in, or most medal chances


normally sports are 5 euro's more expensive than a regular premium 4k account but the olympic events are free for all of their users



i cancelled my Netflix, and i rather have HBO Max next to already having Disney+ and Skyshowtime, you have more with those 3 than with mediocre trash that is Netflix, so expensive and they keep removing so many content


HBO Max instead of Netflix you save 5 euros

13.99 or 18.99

Still think its madness that we’re having the opening ceremony later on today yet hundreds/thousands of competitors have apparently already left for home and will miss out on all the pomp and ceremony !!



Also why are only 8,000 athletes making the trip down the river in the opening ceremony when there are nearly 12,000 still in the Olympic village waiting to compete ?

Who chooses and how ??

So many questions

and if you acquire HBO Max, then you can watch whatever you want whenever its on, instead of relying on what the BBC are broadcasting


very good quality visuals too, and if you dislike commentary you can put that off into a ''No Commentary'' option so you more have stadium atmosphere sounds :)

Just watching the female synchronised diving

The favourites are Chinese ..but the dominant one who called the timing looked decidedly … errr masculine in the face … actually runs like a bloke in the after footage..

There’s nothing online about her being trans but the Chinese are infamous for ‘cheating’ so maybe its just a case of increased testosterone ?

Little things like this worry me

No Negativity In This Thread Please



there really is a reason why i try to avoid this forum, but i like sharing my opinion too much :(



last night has been a fantastic first evening of olympic sports tbh


both 4x100 freestyle swimming events were top class entertainment


Titmus snatching the 400m crown away from Ledecky, and also McIntosh performing better than Ledecky :clap1: also a nice surprise for the young canadian



after the swimming i watched good old Angie Kerber not willing to retire just yet, what a stunning 7-5, 6-3 win over Naomi Osaka in the clash of slam champions, Osaka really many errors and Angie knew exactly which placed balls to go for, her slices are still very much a powerful weapon for her


also nice seeing eiffel tower with a light show yet again, during breaks of that tennis game

[Nicky91]

i mean Kyle Chalmers singlehandedly saving Australia from 5th or 6th place down to a silver medal in that 4x100 freestyle relay




also where were china now with their ''world record'' in the heat :joker: no medal for them at all

[Ammi]

Team GB was celebrating its best start to an Olympic Games in over four decades as Anna Henderson claimed silver in the women’s road race time trial and divers Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen took bronze in the aquatics centre in Paris.

A British team had not won a medal on the first official day of an Olympics since 2004 and had last taken two of them back in the Moscow Games of 1980 but gutsy performances and a little luck delivered early success and raised fresh hopes of a record haul this summer.

…Great British start…:love:…well done the ladies…

Found her

Seems like a nice soul

:::

In 2010, Heather Fisher represented England at her first Rugby World Cup. But just before it began, her hair started to fall out and she was diagnosed with alopecia.

"When I lost my hair, I lost a massive part of my personality. A part that I don't really talk about because I think I should be OK, because I truly believe that hair shouldn't define me.

"But it does define confidence and how you handle yourself and how you dress. I learnt to dress differently and I learnt to accept that I was looked upon differently. So I'm probably too scared to show how I really feel," she said.

Murray and Evans were brilliant, thought they were going to bottle it when Evans double faulted a couple of times towards the end

Neither is a great doubles player but they're so pumped up every point

Its a complete mess from opening ceremony to the female boxer getting a broken nose after 30 seconds fighting a bloke !!

Even the judging in the boxing is flawed
We have had 5 boxers lose over the few days but 4 were actually CLEAR winners !!


Plus the Chinese winning everything is a joke

[Nicky91]

she was on the podium and the American was marked less by the judges

[Nicky91]

well i was discussing something what happened yesterday not many days ago :laugh:


i also don't follow gymnastics that much




Femke Bol imploded last night, McLaughlin's new world record was really wow, even Cockrell ran past Bol, and Bol narrowly won the bronze ahead of another american to prevent a american 1-2-3

could've been more of an epic fight than what we saw, idk what happened

[Nicky91]

What on earth happened to Femke Bol !!!?

She looked unbeatable the other evening in the 4 x 400 relay but last night just mediocre

Maybe she has Covid

I heard that a Romanian girl was robbed of a medal in the gymnastics because they wanted an all Black top three on the podium.

Any truth in this, Nicky?

Her bronze has been reinstated ....what a farce
