In your opinion, what are Cody Simpson's chances of actually making it to the 2024 Olympiad and how good do you think he is?

Tennis question

Hi,

I have a quick question for those who have attended a tennis session at a previous olympic games. Was it possible to access at the outside courts too with a ticket for the central court ? I can't find any informations on the internet about Paris 2024.

Thank you

Feeling proud

Just found out a family friend is refereeing the 7’s rugby at the olympics. Know it’s not the same maybe as being an athlete but they’ve worked so hard for it. Can’t wait for the olympics to start!!

What is the one sport that isn't at the Olympics that should be?

Always intrigued about this one and was thinking about it the other day. What is one non-Olympic sport that really should be? I've always thought squash, but that's coming in 2028 so I wouldn't include that. Maybe darts? I know that's ridiculously popular and would be a lot of fun to see there

NBC Sports is ruining the viewing experience. It NEEDS to be addressed.

Ok, here's my issue: NBC sports puts the winner of the event in the title of every video! This is true with the the highlights they put on youtube and Peacock. The joy of the olympics is stripped away from the viewer if you know the outcome BEFORE you watch the competition. All the videos are labeled titles like "Japan Wins Gold in STUNNER" or "Richardson takes it at the line!" Because the Olympics are across the world, it is very difficult to watch these events live. So the best way to watch specific events, especially the less marquee events, is by watching the recaps on either Peacock or Youtube. This is something I noticed last Olympics and it truly ruined the experience. I really hope enough people make noise about this, and maybe NBC Sports can find another way of writing titles to their recaps that don't totally spoil it.

Should medals of defunked states be counted towards modern countries?

For example, the Soviet Union won 1010 medals, yet Russia only has 423 medals even though most of those 1010 medals were won by Russians.

Then you have Germany which is recorded as having 655 medals, which ignores the 613 medals won before the reunification of West and East Germany. You would think they would at least inherit West Germany's medals since the German football team is considering a continuation of the West German one.

Then you have the case of Tom Kiely, an Irish Nationalist who refused to join the British Olympic team stating he was competing for Ireland, but too bad for him, his medal will always be classed as British because Ireland wasn't independent yet. What do you all think?

Seating charts!

I'm seeing on the resale tickets it gives you a bit more information (like Block B01 vs Block B03), rather than just a general category A, B, C...

Does ANYONE know where a seating chart is that shows what those blocks mean in the venues?

What if too many qualifiy?

In track and field events its an olympic standards to meet, like a distance or a time. What would happend if too many people met this? Like if 200 people met the 400mh standards, would all 200 people do the 400mh?

Opinion: Football should be replaced in the Olympics by FutsalFootball

The Olympics has a massive place in the history of football. It predates the football world cup as the first global tournament between the top national teams in the world but eventually the world cup took over to the point that the Olympics is now an afterthought for most football fans. With only 3 over 23 year olds allowed, you don't see the top players competing and I don't know if the tournament benefits anybody at the moment especially as footballers are already tied up playing too many matches.

Futsal on the other hand is an amazing sport that could really do with a global spotlight. It contains extremely talented players that any football fan can appreciate. Most fans of football have either played futsal or it's close cousin, 5 a side/7 a side football.

In rugby, they don't have the more popular rugby union or rugby league at the Olympic Games, they instead have the niche sport of rugby 7s and it rocks. It's the highlight of the rugby 7s calendar and the shorter form of the game is much easier to watch for casuals. In addition to this a handful of the top players in rugby union such as likely the best player in the world, Antoine Dupont is joining the national 7s team for the Olympics which just adds to the buzz. It's a different sport but similar enough that there's so much curiosity among fans.

Imagine an Olympic final with a futsal team led by Lionel Messi. Tell me you guys wouldn't want to watch that!

The shorter format also means that the tournaments can be much quicker and the players wont get worn out like with 11 a side. I think it would benefit not just futsal but football as well.

Pass Jeux denied, can someone explain?

My pass jeux was denied for the following reasons, I understand the airbnb one, I can get that, but games pass? Are they saying I need an Olympics ticket (which I don’t have), or a navigo pass? Or something else? Did anyone get this same message?

“We thank you for providing proof of your games pass and the Airbnb address.”

“Nous vous remercions de bien vouloir fournir un justificatif de votre pass jeux et de l'adresse du Airbnb.”
