Five-ring circus: The Thread of the XXXIII Olympiad

Does anybody know of a list that has which announcers are in France and which ones are calling it off TV monitors in the US?

 

Pretty clear which Athens I meant.

 

Sapporo as permanent host of the Winter Games would reduce the value of the US rights package by a third. And it is coming up for bid again relatively soon.

 

Marta red carded, potentially ending her career for Brazil.

Wonder sometimes if the Olympics might be better served by taking a page from FIFA's playbook and use a multi-city or multi-nation approach? I know we talked about it a bit earlier when LA announced the softball tournament would be in OKC. And the 2026 Winter games are being split between Cortina and Milan.

 

The women's volleyball has been outstanding. Serbia takes the U.S. to five tense, well-played sets before losing on a point where at least four players hit the floor in an effort to keep the ball in play. If there are better opponents than China and Serbia in the other half of the bracket, elimination is going to be crazy.

 

Protect your paddle!

Now I could back that choice 100 percent! "It's more than a place."

 

A guy named Wang should have done that most of his life.
