Starting soon. Let me start things off with Mongolia’s national uniform.
Other than that, I’m really looking forward to track and field (US versus Jamaica events in particular), and swimming.
Eliud Kipchoge (Kenya)
Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge confidently expects to make history with his third consecutive Olympic marathon gold medal at this year’s Games in Paris.
The 39-year-old told Reuters in an interview in April that his disappointing 10th-place result in the 2024 Tokyo Marathon, and his relatively advanced age, has not made him doubt his chances in Paris.
LeBron James (United States)
A few months from turning 40, James, the US National Basketball Association’s (NBA) all-time leading scorer, is back for his fourth appearance at the Olympics – but his first since 2012.
In Paris, the four-time NBA champion will become the first US men’s basketball player to compete at the Olympics in three different decades.
A three-time Olympic gold medallist, James said earlier this month that he is “still playing at a high level”.
“I still love the game of basketball. And Team USA has done well by me, so I felt like it was important for this summer to be able to go out there and play with the rest of the guys,” he said.
Has Mongolia ever won a medal in the Olympics, l wonder. Most likely in wrestling, if any.
This brings to mind the triathlon held in Linkou every year.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a dip in the city’s River Seine on Wednesday in a bid to demonstrate the cleanliness of the river for the Olympics.
Triathlon events are due to start at the city’s Alexandre III Bridge later this month, but official testing by the city has shown E. coli bacteria levels have been above acceptable levels on the majority of days between June 3 and July 2, which would potentially expose athletes to serious health risks.
The 65 year-old Hidalgo dunked her head in the river as she swam Wednesday, after previously claiming the water would be “depolluted, that’s for sure.” Last week French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra also swam in the Seine.
“It’s very, very cool to be here and it was a dream and now it’s real … after the Games we will have a swimming pool in the river for all the people, for the Parisian people and for the tourists also,” Hidalgo told reporters after the swim.
Despite a 1.4 billion Euro (1.5 billion USD) clean-up plan for the Seine, where swimming has been illegal for more than 100 years due to pollution levels, concerns remain over the river’s suitability for swimming events.
reminds me of this guy:
Does anybody know how to watch the Olympics? I remember four years ago, there were some channels on MOD dedicated to the Olympics. Is that it? Will there be livestreaming on YouTube?
Edit. It seems there is some streaming on YouTube. I’m not sure which will be best, but it seems YouTube will be a good source for this Olympics.
I guess they will have like ten ELTA channels again, but usually they don’t show the sports I am (or anyone else possible could be) interested in.
Ntd 499 for Elta
I.e. You can watch the opening ceremony and selective competitions(probably with Chinese Taipei team involved) on brocast channels.
But if you want to watch replay or on demand at your convenience, it’s better to pay for Elta subscription.

Make sure you stop the subscription soon after you start, or you will be automatically charged next month. They require your credit card or bank account number to start the subscription.
Spectator levels may be lower than expected.
If you have CHT, it’s like NT$100 to add Hami video.
Download app and then add it to your contract on CHT app.
I have Hami video with my monthly.
Also get all news stations, those variety shows, a few movies. Decent deal
It’s a three month package
Yes, minimum one year contract with CHT.
I think you can just add Olympics as 1-time event for 199. Go into a branch and ask.
I can cancel my Hami any time.
