Oleksiak or De Grasse for closing ceremony flag bearer?

Sinclair as a send-off for a lifetime of excellence.

This has been the most enjoyable Olympics for me since Vancouver

Fantastic events and drama, the venue, rio has looked absolutely gorgeous, and just the overall coverage has been great. The time difference doesn't hurt either

Well done Rio.

Where can i watch replays of events? Not talking about the super well covered stuff but some of the sports that aren't covered as much.

28 Summer Olympic sports including new events of golf and rugby sevens are featured at the Rio Olympics

Choose your sport, choose the event for that sport, then you can pick through qualifications/quarters/semi/finals, and then somewhere above the atheletes heads there will be a blue version of the YouTube logo that will take you to the videos. Theres also the same button for specific matches below the same pictures.

Only con, if you care about spoilers, is you see the medal winners before you can click to watch the event.

Looks like the 16 year old will carry our flag at the closing ceremonies.

Do they sell those tank tops anywhere?

Athletics Canada sells the full line.

tiger_handheld 08-21-2016 05:16 PM

How does it work for De Grasse? I heard Puma signed a 11m deal with him, yet he wears Nike?

TOS'd 08-21-2016 05:34 PM

Nike is Athletics Canada's sponsor, and De Grasse is running for Canada.

Same deal with Michael Phelps wearing Nike for these games when he is signed to Under Armor.

StylinRed 08-21-2016 05:44 PM

arent those puma shoes hes wearing? but nike track top/shorts

I'm planning to go to 2020 Tokyo. Best entrance ever!

dbaz 08-21-2016 06:22 PM

Tokyo has the potential to be an absolute shit show transportation and accommodation wise. wonder if a lot of companies will shut down, otherwise the transportation will be fucked.
people are going to have to rent places in saitama, ibaraki etc and take trains in lol

But at least athletes don't have to swim in shit, get mugged on the streets and there won't be any gun battles going on in neighborhoods with bullets hitting buses and media events.

dbaz 08-21-2016 08:27 PM

that's true. but they have some big issues too. people have to eat food grown in dirt affected by the nuclear disaster(it may be grown in fukushima, but if its shipped and sold to a company in a different area, its labelled as safe), people wont get mugged in streets but tourists will be drugged and have their cc's maxed at bars in roppongi etc, deal with some of the worst racism and sexism at an Olympic venue in a long time.

japan has a lot of problems for a first world country. imo brazil did pretty good considering its situation

at the same time they'll prob push some technology farther like they did for 1964 with satellites, and computer statistics

The Tokyo Olympics will be fantastic and I have no doubt it will be one of the better summer Olympics in recent memory.
