Actually this is my first Olympics online with no tv. Interesting to see the British version.

Macedonia = Former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia. Really IOC??

They have to do that because Macedonia the country has a big fight going with Greece over their name. Basically the Greeks think that the "Macedonians" are trying to steal Greek history because historical Macedon was further south (in the Greek region of Macedonia). They're really upset about the whole thing for some reason.

This was like watching community theater on a grand scale.

....and I'm not saying that like it's a good thing.
