RULES

  • Every post must contribute to the discussion of the Olympics
  • We do not care about how tenuous the connection is other than the below.
  • No Redditquette Violations
    • No threats, personal invective, or personal insults.
    • No slurs based on race, sex, religion, or gender.
    • No slapfighting.
    • No bashing athletes or teams on the basis of national origin or identity (but criticising National Olympic Committees suspected of perfidy is fair game).
    • You are in r/Olympics. Baron de Coubertin founded the Olympic movement in an effort to foster goodwill between nations. We expect you to embrace that, the Olympic spirit.
  • No Politics
    • We recognise that there are terrible conflicts raging about the globe right now.
    • There are better places on Reddit to talk about them.
    • Do not let politics, geopolitics, international relations, or past civil wars and so forth enter the conversation unless they directly impact the Games.
    • For example, posts about Paris and COJOP's preparedness for the Games are fair game.
    • Please remember that the athletes had nothing to do with what their governments are doing now.
  • No Brigading
    • We have been overwhelmed in the past by readers arguing politics at the expense of those who want to talk about the Games.
    • We simply cannot and will not allow this to happen anymore.
    • There will be no warnings and we will have a very short trigger.
    • Do not engage the trolls. We will get rid of them as soon as we see them.
  • No Superfluous or Duplicate Posts
    • Once a conversation has been established and is gaining traction, avoid submitting any superfluous or duplicate posts, which will be removed at our discretion.
    • We do not want to discourage you from making a related post if your submission has an alternate angle, a fresh take, or a contrarian message. A "related" post is different from a "duplicate" post.
    • Ask yourself this: "Do I have something new to say or show, or do I just want the sweet, sweet karma?"
  • No Memes, no ChatGPT, and no Low-Effort Posts
    • However, .gif posts of video taken directly from Olympic events are welcome.
    • If you post a standalone picture of an Olympian without any context or story, you have just submitted a low-effort post.
  • No Nudity or Overt Sexualization
    • For submissions specifically about the attractiveness of individual athletes, please visit our friends at /r/Ohlympics.
    • Wardrobe malfunctions are sometimes excepted.
  • No Posts about Television Coverage
    • There will be a stickied post in which you can complain about your broadcaster and tell everyone how much better somebody else's is, but unless Savannah Guthrie narrates the Parade of Nations after asking Mike Tirico on-air how many quaaludes constitute an overdose, no individual posts complaining about your television network are otherwise allowed.
  • No Posts about how the Medal Tally is Sorted
    • Sports journalists in most countries sort the medal tally by total golds, but the practise in the United States is to sort by total medals. It has been this way for quite some time. The IOC and the Associated Press take no position on the difference. Ours should be set so that you can sort by personal preference. Quit bitching about it. If you simply cannot take it and need to vent, use the stickied broadcaster post.
    • Please remember that no country "wins" the Olympics: it is the athletes who win.

    What Olympic sport/events are less demanding on physical attributes ?

    You likely won't find a male basketball player shorter than 180cm at the Olympics

    You won't find a chubby gymnast either

    So what are the sports where athletes can be tall, short, skinny and chubby ?

    Shooting and archery are the two I can think of

    Am I allowed to repost olympic games opening ceremony footage on Youtube ?

    I was searching for a specific moment I really liked from the opening ceremony of Paris 2024 and I couldn't find it on Youtube, and the entire event is only available on france's official public television program website or the Paris' 2024 olympic website, but both are so laggy/not really nice to use on mobile, it's far more easier to watch it on Youtube. Can I repost a portion (like 5mins) of the ceremony on Youtube, or is it copy righted?

    Which Has the Best Opening Ceremony? Best Closing Ceremony? Why?

    After that opening ceremony in Paris 2024, I thought I could find out which is best here.

    In your opinion, which Olympic Games has the best Opening Ceremony? and the best Closing Ceremony? Why so?

    What new sports would you love to see at the Olympics?

    Personally, I have a few that I would really like to see done at an Olympic or Paralympic level. Dog agility is so cool and features incredible teamwork, and would likely attract a lot of viewers because of the dogs. Also, we have equestrian sports, so animals in the Olympics aren’t a new concept.

    Polish-style saber fencing would also be really great, it’s my favorite type of fencing.

    I also think chess could be pretty cool, competitive chess has gotten really popular lately. I think there’s been a massive boom in chess and chess.com since the 2020s have started.

    Boxing at the 2028 LA Olympics

    Hey everyone, I would like to know if the 2028 olympics will have boxing as an Olympic event, I know that the IOC and the AIBA have parted ways, and there isn't any governing body at the moment, but if I am right there is a new organisation, World Boxing, that is trying to become the new governing body of olympic boxing.

    If anyone knows more of this information, please give some feedback at the comments.

    And if case there is broken english, I apologise because its not my native language.

    NBC coverage of artistic gymnastics during paris 2024

    Hi everyone,

    does anyone know where I can find a replay of the NBC coverage of the women's artistic gymnastics all around finale from the paris 2024 olympics?

    I specifically need it to be the NBC coverage as I am working on sports commentary for my master's thesis in linguistics, so I specifically need the commentary... I can't seem to find it anywhere, as the replay for the women's finale on peacock isn't there anymore...

    If anyone has any helpful insight as to where I could find (or purchase!) it, it would be immensely helpful!

    Is there still a way to order the 2024 Souvenir Tickets?

    I know the deadline has passed, but perhaps someone has found a way. I'm really kicking myself for not ordering 😏
