A one month subscription to peacock is a pretty cheap ticket to the Olympics. A month of Peacock costs less than a cup of coffee!! definitely a steal for the Olympics.

According to Polish news, the alternate will work like it did in the VNL... as in they can give a list of any 12 players each day (dont have to sub the alternate in once/etc) x.com/Jakub110Jakub/status/1811751034479399024edit: seems like they need a medical reason still, but they can return, unlike before.

lol. New York is undoubtedly dirtier. Stop watching tourist TikTok Maybe it is now. I haven't been there in a long time, but New York was pretty nice when I lived there 15 years ago. It's still nice, I moved here for college in the mid 90's and have never left. Manhattan imo has gotten very sterile and boring due to extreme affluence, but the other boroughs are still popping. And we're finally getting modern garbage cans! No more trash bags on the sidewalk 🤣

FIVB release: The latest decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), confirmed this week, allows for flexibility when using the Late Athlete Replacement (LAR) (AP Athlete) during the Olympic Games Paris 2024. As previously communicated, for the first time in the history of the Olympic volleyball competition, each team participating in the Games will be entitled to include one non-competing “AP” athlete to replace an athlete for medical reasons. As such, team rosters will increase from 12 to 13 athletes. While the 13th athlete will be able to attend matches and train with the team, they will not be accommodated in the Olympic Village unless additional support is granted by the respective National Olympic Committee (NOC). “AP” athletes are non-competing athletes accredited by the IOC in the “AP” category who have different entitlements to competing athletes (accredited as “AA”). As previously stated, when an “AA” athlete is injured, that athlete can be replaced by an “AP” athlete. The previous version of the LAR Policy for AP Athletes only foresaw a single permanent replacement without the possibility of the injured athlete returning to the team once recovered. However, for Paris 2024 team sport disciplines, the IOC will exceptionally allow teams to bring back the injured athlete if he/she has recovered and/or if another AA athlete is injured and in need of an LAR. The number of AA Athletes at any given moment in time may not exceed 12 per team and, as per the usual LAR policy, a medical certificate shall be provided by the National Federation and the NOC and validated by the FIVB Medical Officer. The process can be repeated multiple times, subject to the updated procedure set out in Article 1.3 of the LAR (AP Athlete) of the Competition Regulations for the Volleyball competition. Lastly, this policy is exclusive to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The IOC will review its implementation with the relevant IFs and NOCs before confirming athlete quotas and LAR policy for the LA 2028 Olympic Games.

My friend grew up in Paris, and her statement to me a few weeks ago was “They have started power washing everything in the city to get rid of the urine stench for the Olympics and all the Parisians will be gone, so it will be a wonderful experience.” Actually locals are "encouraged" not to go out or use the metro during the whole event to not add to the congestion and give tourists a better experience of the city which is kinda sad. I will not be helping any tourists navigate le metro..

It's been years since I visited Paris, but my impression of their trash problem is that it's a very old city with old infrastructure that can't keep up with modern trash demands. Throw in the occasional garbage collector strike over pension reform and you get a big piles of hot, stinky garbage all over the place 😅

Throw in the occasional garbage collector strike over pension reform and you get a big piles of hot, stinky garbage all over the place 😅 Yea it’s not like that anymore. Many parts of the city’s garbage are private now. The other areas are controlled by the city and still have strikes but not often. The last two mayors of Paris have been on a clean up the city streak. Many parts don’t allow cars in them anymore without special permitting and the street cleaners routinely pick up trash these days. Strikes are a part of life in Europe. They love them. I get so annoyed when the trains or airports go down. Back to the Olympics… the athletes are staying in literally/traditionally the worst part of Paris. I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere near Saint-Denis but alas they built the village there. Hopefully the athletes only travel south of the village but then again that area is also a tad sus..
