I think 2016 will be the year Brazil will pay back all the **** other countries did with Brazilian flag in sports events... Santo Domingo 2003 Copa America Chile 2015 And now Toronto 2015 Not to mention Toronto 2015 OCOG played the anthem of Bahamas or Barbados* while raising the Brazilian Flag in the Olympic Village TO 2015 OCOG doesn't know which anthem was played... Brazilian athletes asking themselves what happened during the anthem... http://esportes.terra.com.br/pan-2015-toronto-erra-hino-do-brasil-em-hasteamento-da-bandeira,ad750b5616adbd2c591ed91edcc76c3fizuwRCRD.html "To asking apologies, Toronto 2015 committe sent a representative who speaks Portuguese to make a speech in the audio system of the Olympic Village, but the staff member talked in European Portuguese, despite being the same language, the accent is hard to Brazilians to understand". Great, clap clap clap Toronto! Before saying anything, Intoronto, the gaffe is unjustifiable given the importance that Brazil has at the Pan American Games history and in this very edition. With 590 athletes, Team Brazil is one of the largest teams in Toronto. It is also the second largest country in number of journalists covering the competition - about 200, less only than Canada, which is the host country.

Can not be used as a justificative... Wasn't you operating the system, right? If not... gosh, it might be a common thing in Canada to ignore the flags of Brazil and/or Cuba... {irony mode off} Sorry, Faster, there is no country called Columbia, even in English... It's a typo or lack of knowledge from he guy who was operating the score table. Indeed, the guy seems also to not know the flag of Brazil. In my job, putting a wrong flag in some graphics or a typo on air can be punished with day of salary.

But Colombia is Colombia. There is no country called Columbia, even in English. The Canadian province name have nothing to do with the name of the South American country. Indeed, in Portuguese and Spanish, British Columbia is Colúmbia Britânica and Columbia Británica. And Colombia is Colômbia and Colombia. Imagine the opposite... Brazilians making a mistake with Canadian flag... What GamesBids guys would say? Did you realized the Brazilian flag was replaced by the Cuban one...

Rio 2016 Olympic Media Update
DannyelBrazil replied to Sir Rols's topic in Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Games
Globo (Brazil) will be partner of NHK on 8K broadscast, already testing the system for future implementation in Brazilian market. Brazil uses for HDTV the ISDB-TB system (A Brazilian version with enhanced uses for mobile technology developed in Brazil, from the Japanese standard for HDTV: ISDB-T). Rio de Janeiro Carnaval parade of 2013 was the first event where 8K technology was tested in the partnership of Globo and NHK. World Cup 2014 had some Brazil team matches broadcasted in 8k for selected places in Brazil. http://g1.globo.com/jornal-nacional/noticia/2014/06/tecnologia-com-imagens-mais-nitidas-e-testada-durante-jogo-do-brasil.html (video) -
The headline, then the titles and the people chosen...

Brazilian bureaucracy and judiciary system... When you realize how hard is to surpass all phases in a tender, you starts to understand will works always starts delayed. They are already happening in the ready venues, like World League Finals in Maracanazinho right now. As explained a lot of times here... Brazilian bureaucracy to start works is terrible. You can have tons of sues in justice not to mention, companies must fullfill lots of stupid requirements... About Mr. Coates, it was commented here in Brazil by people inside the Olympic Movement, that it was a political speech, indeed to avoid Nuzman (Brazilian NOC President) to gain status inside the IOC. Curiously few months later, Mr. Coates come to Rio, saw all the works and said he was wrong. (Of course, no big media on his second speech).

Great ident from 7 Australia -
Not proud of it, but this is how things works here.

Canadians being silly about medal table in PanAms... LOL

Victor, PanAms was major when Globo or Band broadcasted it. Nowadays, nobody does not even know about games. About Canada, As I clearly said, they are caring about Brazil - this is silly.
Canada must focus in surpass Cuba or be the first at home (by surpassing USA), not caring about Brazil.
-
Now Brazil is in third place. But Canada should be worry for USA
-
Brazil won't surpass Canada and USA, and probably will stay behind Cuba.
-
TV Record, the one with rights to broadcast it in open air in Brazil, is showing almost nothing. Globo is showng a 3-minute recap in main news but since Globo does not have rights to show footage, it's a very cold report with few interviews. In fact, few Brazilians realized there are PanAms games under way right now... Maybe Toronto 2015 is one of the less known PanAms ever, at least here in Brazil.

Rio 2016 Olympic Media Update

Let's say, I'm in the middle of the hurricane... Sportv confirmed already 16 channels. And ESPN have 4 channels in Brazil. Grupo Globo: Globo, SporTV, SporTV 2, SporTV 3 and SporTV 4, Sportv 5, Sportv 6, Sportv 7, Sportv 8, Sportv 9, Sportv 10, Sportv 11, Sportv 12, Sportv 13, Sportv 14, Sportv 15, Sportv 16. Grupo Band: Band and Band Sports Grupo Record: Record and Record News ESPN: ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Brasil and ESPN+ FOX: Fox Sports and Fox Sports 2 Eventually Fox can use "Fox" regular channel to broadcast stuff, but I doubt it. And Globo News can enter live at any moment in case of breaking news and resumés... -
Rio de Janeiro 2016 Ceremonies.
DannyelBrazil replied to Alexjc's topic in Rio 2016 Ceremonies Discussions
The script is ready, of course, however, they are now working on the script assembly. They are thinking about how it will run. They are also studying all viability issues. The team is working on a complicated stadium, which does not have all the necessary structure. It is clear when it was reported the issue of Maracana coverage: the structure must support 120 tons, only supports 80 tons. Pre-production is the hardest part, because they have to think of creative solutions to run the script. From this point that international producers become part of the project. -
Somehow, yes, they will do with the Marina the same thing that happened in many countries with soccer stadiums... They will refurbsh and increase the price of the place in name of modernization... (I saw some nice and funny protest from English soccer fans against the increase of ticket prices due stadium modernizations) In the other side, the place do need modernization and refurbshment... I don't understand why can't they negociate a middle-term that could benefit both sides?
-
Brazilian do the things at the last minute (PanAms, World Cup, Youth Day, UN Environmental Meet) - it's like a national tradition... Why people is still worried? One day before the Opening Ceremony everything will be there, smelling new and shining and few employees will be removing dust from the construction... Nothing new on it.
-
And in fact, I was happy when Argentina won gold in Football... First gold after 52 (!!!) YEARS!!! - Tired of kicking drunkard, focusing back on Rio Olympic Games threads.
-
LDOG, Brazil sometimes makes me sad... Argentina always makes you sad. 23 years without any PRO title. SHAME! VERGUENZA!

*yawns* what nonsense, ofc I celebrated, we won two football olympic golds in my lifetime. yes, not even close to be like a world cup, but I wouldn't trade them for a Copa America to be honest.
-
Olympic Games is an Under 23 title... And as I said before, no Argentine player in albiceleste raising a trophy since 1993.
And I wouldn't trade any of our 5 World Cups for an Olympic Gold medal or even less, some Copa America...
-
Tired of this... Keep trying Argentina, now, busy with Olympic Games threads. Copa America talkings lasted 2 days - too long.
-
*facepalm*
-
LDOG, I saw Brazil won several titles (2 World Cups indeed) during my lifetime, when was your last time? 1993? *still laughing here*
-
I loved the way Copacabana sidewalk pattern in the bottom become Sugarloaf in the top... That was nicd
-
Congratulations Argentina national team! Now 23 years without winning any pro Football title! It was amazing Chile, celebrate!

Defensive? First, you have the right to hate whatever you want (but, I'm glad you liked), and somehow, after all these years, with all respect, I couldn't care less about the opinions here... Even if you hate everything about the games (it's not the case), so far, all the reviews around the internet are great, so, I'm pretty okay with this... This card "the defensive host city member" is so 2008-ish. Don't use it again, it doesn't work anymore. At least with me. This said, I'm also trying to figure out how it is made... As I said, I bet in coil spring and plastic simple mechanism... IMO, it's not anything electronic nor very intricate, indeed, the games message about recycling materials gives us a tip... Your point about 12,000 pieces is perfect. They won't make anything costy and crazy. I didn't watch Glasgow CWG games (not broadcasted here in Brazil) and I don't know what is the Queen's baton... Sorry About Vancouver and Sydney, I'm almost sure this torch does not involve hydraulics...
-
But you still have the heat... But, I agree it's too much intricate to make the whole thing work. I bet in something more simple like those "press-button" pens... C'mon, it's not hard to make the whole thing open with a simple coil spring and a plastic mechanism to hold it when closed... Several toys have it, it's not new nor expensive to do. The logo of Paralympic Torch have it just turned back... The higher drawing have three Rio mountains: Sugar Loaf (featured in the left banner), Pedra da Gávea (featured in the right banner) and Corcovado (as I see on TV news at noon). Amazing and nice choice of music... Trenzinho do Caipira is so so Brazilian!
-
You guys are thinking about a eletronic stuff, probably it's not electronic (it would increase the price of the torch and carry a lot of criticism to Brazil in times of economic downturn). I still think it's something as simple as some bottom to release the whole thing or hot air inflating and pushing the pieces up... It's not risky, the torch will "work" as torch even if the thing doesn't open...
