Nacholympic Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 Guys, just here to confirm that the videos and music previously posted ARE the actual OBS intro and background music. Quote
Ikarus360 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Posted February 3, 2022 The new OBS typography is horrendous. I miss the previous one. In fact I miss when they had their own broadcasting services and more freedom for logos. Quote
SportLightning Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 The intro is going to be different for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Quote

Would be awfully awful if foreign athletes competing against Chinese athletes became unwell or were ambiguously advised to test/isolate..... 1 1 Quote

This is a big big concern I have. Will they be altering test results to hinder athletes from competing against them? There needs to be a neutral eye keeping watch over this stuff. Quote

Since Rio 2016 the intros have been animated.... 2022 is not the exception. Similar to Tokyo.. the music is catchy.... as Rio and Tokyo were. Quote

StefanMUC Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 Glad I‘m not watching… Germany‘s flag will be carried (as decided by online poll) by Francesco Friedrich (big fave in bobsleigh, that‘s fine as choice) and Claudia Pechstein, our record Olympian in basically every category, including fighting in dubious doping trials and being married to a bully husband now happening to be German speed skating president. Absolutely horrendous choice. Quote

Absolutely horrendous choice. Which means we will see more of that four-hands-to-hold-one-stick nonsense at this parade. Like that wasn't embarrassing enough in Tokyo. Don't they usually do a poll of some sort? I'm surprised she still has so much backing by the public. Quote

Absolutely horrendous choice. Oh dear - what is it about sports governance in Germany, between that, Bach himself, the couple of controversies in Tokyo, even going way back to the allegations around Beckenbauer and the 06 World Cup awarding - and the Ozil controversy later? From afar from what you read here, there seems to be a lot of problems with German sport admin...is there any particular reason? I know it won't be all or even most sport, and that we've had our share of bad apples, but it's so odd coming from a country that's rightly looked up to as a model of governance in most other ways Quote

DOSB at least just got a completely new leadership, but DFB power struggles are worse than Alexis vs Krystle in Dynasty. Quote
yoshi Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 Why is that though, why is the culture of sport administration seemingly so bad? Did Bach start it before going to IOC? Quote
StefanMUC Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 We‘re going a bit off topic in this thread now, but basically since the 70s, Adidas boss Horst Dassler built a big network of sports officials doing his bidding. Bach was a lawyer at Adidas (after Fencing 1976), Samaranch, Blatter etc. Of course this continued into lower levels and the next generations. Quote
FYI Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 Yeah, stay on-topic. Otherwise, the thread police can come by & start slapping hands. Quote
