Yeah GB already been. Only 20 of their athletes paraded.
Nyjah and Alexis look like they’re going to make an appearance judging by their respective instagrams.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but what day and when are the skate competitions on?
Oski to win men’s park is 11/1 on skybet?! Doesn’t seem totally unrealistic.

Do you not remember when South Korea and Japan hosted the 2002 World Cup, people were going to pubs at 8am? I guess they have to live with the time difference a lot more than we do when it comes to big sporting events though.

Recording it works fine for me on this one. I’m interested but not interested enough to stop up that late.

fair point fair point. you’d think the pinnacle of international sporting events would bother to hire cameramen who could film/photograph the sports properly
i think the first winter olympics that had snowboarding had similar issues (was that the last one? i forget). they had half pipe snowboarding and they kept cutting off bits of tricks because they weren’t raising the camera enough
