Since spectators aren’t permitted I assumed we wouldn’t see any.  But maybe - who knows?

We may see a few as part of official delegations - Fred was supposed to attend for a few days before he ended up having to quarantine. I’d assume Albert was there for the IOC meetings and may stick around for a little bit?

I saw a picture of Albert in the stands with (in the vicinity of, because of social distancing) Jill Biden and Emmanuel Macron.   Gonna miss seeing lots and lots of royals!  Sad

GD Henri and Prince Albert are there -- Macron and Jill Biden too. I've read that Frederick will attend the Olympic committee for the last time.

I'm sad that there won't be any royals at the Olympics.

I’m bummed about the lack of royal watching too but honestly if the athletes own husbands, wives, kids, parents, etc can’t attend I’m not interested in a bunch of “special” folks (Royals, politicians, political spouses, etc.) attending either.

Did anyone else see the 18 year old Tunisian swimmer win the men's 400 freestyle last night from lane 8? Absolutely incredible. His reaction so sweet and genuine!

I did. Aside from rooting for most of the USA team, my favorite is when someone unexpected wins or someone with a unique or sad story or limited resources. I love the Olympics. This time change is killing me though. Either I move into a cave with no electricity or the media is determined to ruin every event for us.

I love the unexpected wins too, the althletes who overcome adversity.

I had a boss once who said all the people who were not among the elite had no place at the Olympics. He said they ruined it. Needless to say, he was not an empathetic person, quite the opposite. He clearly did not understand what the Olympics are all about in my opinion.

I am absolutely NOT watching. I think the idea of holding the Olympic games right now in a city with so few unvaccinated people is such a bad idea. I have a feeling that history will not treat the Tokyo Olympics well.

I love the meme going around that says something like "I am once again asking the Olympics to include one ordinary person in each event so we can see just how difficult these sports are!"   Laugh bounce

So many of these athletes make it look so effortless, and we lose sight of just how good they are.  I'd love to see an average person give things a go so we have something to compare it to!   

I have a lot of mixed emotions about the wisdom of the Games going ahead.  But I did enjoy seeing the flagbearer from Tonga in the opening ceremonies!  Grin
