Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics
'Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics' (格闘新体操, Kakutō Shintaisō?) is the first "Martial Arts and Crafts" fighting style encountered in Ranma ½. Created as a more combative take on everyday sports and hobbies, the Martial Arts version of Rhythmic Gymnastics is intended more towards competitions and...ranma.fandom.com
Something like this?

It's moments like these where I remember Vancouver 2010 featured Gretzky in the back of a pick-up truck. Sigh...

Lol Canada flying a drone over another teams practise at the Olympics which probably got reported to the counter-terrorism unit makes me laugh. How dumb can you be?
I honestly don't unless you are referring to the hajib law but I'm not aware of that law in other Western Nations.
I used to watch Olympics more in the past when I had more time.
But I also get annoyed becuase it is mostly a corporate hype event that plays on a sense of national pride to make us care about events we otherwise don't care about.
The same people that were telling us how horrible of people we are and how our countries are bad, suddenly want me watching random events out of patriotism. I thought national patriotism was toxic and sounded like some kind of far right evil.

All that was missing was a back window gun rack and a case of Pilsener sitting beside him.
I didn’t watch much of the opening ceremonies - maybe 10 minutes - but I did see this bit and it was awesome!

CBC or TSN had a panel that included Andi Petrillo and 3 other ex-athletes I couldn’t really remember that were providing commentary during the ceremony. I’m not sure who it was although I know it wasn’t Petrillo but whenever this person spoke they badly butchered the name of whoever it was they were talking about. The beginning of the clip you showed with the headless woman was referred to as “Mary Net”. Their horrifically bad commentary through out made the ceremony difficult to watch at times. I wish I could have muted them but I’d have missed too much.
As over the top as these opening ceremonies tend to be, this one stuck out and it’ll take a lot of effort for another host to top it.

Is that supposed to be a French recreation of Jesus and his apostles of his last meal?

Canada is almost always terrible at the Summer Olympics. Last olympics they got 24 medals and only 7 golds. Coming in 11th in the world. I doubt they even get that this year. The only events I am interested in is female soccer as Canada has a very good female soccer team, I am hoping they can win gold again. I have also heard Canada has a good basketball team this year as there have been alot of top NBA players from Canada recently so I am interested in seeing some of the basketball games. That is it though.

Growing up in a sports family, we always had a hockey (Oilers), football (Riders) or baseball or any team on, we loved the Olympics. Everything on, all the time.
CBC was great at showing complete events from start to finish. Not just Canadian athletes but the sport.
Now all I get, living here in Oregon, are the US athletes, the one of 700,000 apparently, that are vying for a medal. Ugh.
Has it changed for the Canadian stations as well?
Go team Canada!

Canadian performance at the Summer Games since Rio has actually been impressive and, as a country, we've actually punched above our weight considering the lack of critical infrastructure and investment put into these sports. Just look at what's been done to our once world-class Rowing program. It's a shame.
But in comparison to the Winter Games, our performance in the Summer Olympics is actually more impressive considering the athletic talent we're competing against and, I'd argue, we have probably punched below our weight at the Winter Olympics lately.

I can tell you a lot more about neighboring Jordan and the Palestinian territories. CBC mentioned Iraq not having female atheletes yet there were several other countries not having female atheletes. Point I'm making is for the media to stop being hypocrites. There's no room for these comments in the Olympics anyhow.
