r/olympics

Most travel subs recommend leaving your passport in your hotel as opposed to keeping it on your person (risk of pickpockets). Does anyone know if an ID will be required for events as a security measure? Also tickets only being available via mobile app has me stressed. Phone stolen and you’re shit out of luck.

Hey! It's Alex from the Fantasy Five Rings Podcast again.

On the first episode I read out answers from a question I asked on here and thought I'd ask another for Episode 3 next week (Ep. 2 is out tomorrow but that's another post for another time).

So, as the title says, if you were to bring back a former Olympic event, which would it be (and why if possible)? I'll read out the best ones on the show.

Cheers for reading.

Here are the events I plan to attend:

8/1 Thu 1-5pm: badminton Cat C (open to sell in order to buy swimming/gymnastics on the same night)

8/3 Sat 7-10pm: track Cat C (open to sell in order to buy swimming/gymnastics on the same night)

8/4 Sun 5-8pm: volleyball Cat C (open to sell in order to buy swimming/gymnastics on the same night)

8/6 Tue 7-10pm: track (medal)

8/7 Wed 3-530pm: weightlifting (medal)

8/7 Wed 8-11pm: table tennis (Men's team SF1)

8/8 Thu 3-5pm: diving (medal)

8/10 Sat 2-4pm: waterpolo Cat D (women gold medal match, same time as diving, have to sell :( )

8/10 Sat 3-5pm: diving (medal)

8/10 Sat 630-10pm: track (medal)

8/11 Sun 11-215pm: wrestling (medal)

All my tickets are cat C or D and most of them are medal sessions. I am still searching for gymnastics and swimming tickets and I am open to sell my badminton/track/volleyball if they are on the same night. I have waterpolo and diving at the same time on Aug 10 so unfortunately have to sell one.
