How fucking pathetic is France for allowing this to happen? Pretty sure it is an Olympic thing. Would happen (and would suck) in any country.

It didn't happen in Tokyo and Rio, and the US definitely won't allow that in LA. This is a new rule in Paris because France is a cocksucking cunt to China. Hope bad things happen to the Paris Olympics. They deserve to be remembered as one of the worst games in history lol.

I can give you a break if you have a problem hearing the truth. The IOC handles security at Olympic events, and they have their own rules written on this kind of thing. It isn't France that requires the country to go by Chinese Taipei, or perform under a flag other than their own, or play some neutral anthem. They've competed at the Olympics under maybe 5 different names, and not been allowed to use their actual one ever since China decided to hop back onto the world stage 40 years ago, and as far as I am aware not nobody nowhere has ever done anything to stand up to it. As for whether this kind of thing has happened previously, I don't know. It certainly wouldn't have happened in Tokyo because there weren't any fucking fans... Before that, sure, I'll just take your word for it. Maybe there are people in France who actually care.

It didn't happen in Tokyo and Rio and any other previous games. This has everything to do with France. They allow China to terrorise fans. He wasn't holding the Taiwanese flag. The athletes are not competing under Taiwan. He was holding a TOWEL that has TAIWAN written on it. Is the word Taiwan forbidden by the Olympics now?

If someone from the Taipei team waved a flag with "Taiwan" on it, I can see taking it away. I think it's awful if this is done to a fan.

Obviously you have a bug up your ass regarding France for some reason, so this is foolish to even continue, but if you have any proof of these claims you keep making about previous games you should share it with us. If it didn’t happen at previous games there could be all kinds of reasons for it like China and Taiwan not facing each other in competition as was happening here, the presence of less pathetic Chinese fans who didn’t complain could be another reason, or even just the fact that China/Taiwan relations rise and fall from one day to the next, and from 2008 onwards they were doing okay, and things have really gotten bad since covid. You can ignore all these possible reasons and just go with your assurance that this has never happened before, but then you shouldn’t be accusing others of being obtuse when you’re sitting there acting as if France is the big bad, as if other countries/events don’t practice this exact same brand of stupidity, because yes, many events write it as policy that anything considered ‘political’ is not allowed. Even Taiwan know the French are not the ones responsible as they’ve called on the French authorities to take action (not about the incident, but a similar one). I’m sure they won't, but the difference between us is that I’m sure nobody else would either. I think the most significant country on this planet that gives a shit about Taiwan is fucking Paraguay. The IOC, meanwhile, have twice commented on all the shit that has been going down: (1) When asked about the incident at a news conference on Saturday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokesman Mark Adams pointed to the Olympics’ ticketing terms and conditions, which state that “only flags of countries and territories participating in the Games are allowed.” (2) International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams cited the 1981 agreement for Taiwan to participate as Chinese Taipei when asked about the incident.
"There are very clear rules," Adams said at the daily IOC news conference in Paris. "Banners are not allowed. You can see how this can lead into: 'If that's allowed then why not this?'" That is why the rules are quite strict. We have to try to bring 206 national Olympic committees together in one place. It is quite a tough ask."

From the uncomfortable beds to the lack of air conditioning (see the gold medallist Thomas Ceccon sleeping in the garden) to poor food lacking of proteins, and the shitty (literally) river where they want swimmers to race.

Another epic race in the 400m tonight.
US has been doing really well in the middle distance running this time, the conditioning seems to be better, hovering towards the middle the whole time and then blasting by everybody at the end, same thing happened in the steeplechase too.

India beats Spain 2-1 in mens hockey and takes the bronze medal.
Finally after 4 decades the once legendary Indian hockey is now on the right path with back to back medals.

Amazing Javelin final from Arshad Nadeem, who beat the old Olympic record twice in one night to knock Chopra, the defending champion from Tokyo, down to silver. One more chapter in the Pakistan and India sporting story Badass home straight from Tebogo to take the 200m gold and give us all a chance to laugh at Noah Lyles and his excuses, and Sydney McLaughlin, New Brunswick New Jersey's favourite daughter, breaks the world record in the 400m hurdles. What a night. AND SERBIA ARE LEADING THE USA WITH ONE AND A HALF QUARTERS TO GO IN THE MENS BASKETBALL SEMIFINAL (if this jinxes them, I apologize)

Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem threw a monstrous 92.97m throw and clinches gold in mens Javelin throw. First individual gold medal for Pakistan in Olympics.
While the reigning champion from India, Neeraj Chopra only managed an 89.5m throw and settled for a silver.
