Looks like it was finally protected. There is also a watchlist that shows all the event articles and countries. And then there is all the changes to the watchlist.

I thought the first medal event (cycling right?) didn't start until 2am ET of something.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but I'd like to mention that a tropical depression has formed in the South China sea. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center is forecasting a weak typhoon (category 1) to make landfall just to the west of Hong Kong early on the 7th (local time). It appears that it will be gone by the time equestrian events get going.

So will that create unneeded drag?

I really hope Gay, Bolt, and Powell all make it to the final. That will be amazing to watch.

Looks like we have the full order for the Parade of Nations. NOTE: Yes this is unsourced and from Wikipedia. The person who provided it says he is "asst Chef de Mission for Canada". So as always, take it for what its worth. It must be accurate or mostly accurate considering the order is on number of strokes in the character. Parade of Nations order

Where will that put the US? 美國

The remnants of Typhoon Fung-wong helped clear out the pollution for the short term. It will most likely come back as soon as Fung-wong disipates.
