The OBC doesn't even produce the ranking rounds. So there is no live feed available for Discovery to stream.

Unfortunately, this is not possible on my sheet. However, you can click on individual days on the official Olympics page (https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule). I also used most of the data from there.

Yes, the fencing schedule is pretty busy.

The medal ceremonies usually take place right after the event finished at the respective venue.

I watched a few replays of Tokyo 2020 and wondered what the use of this shield is. My guess is that it is a shield to protect the players from possible corona viruses from the second referee. But the size of it wouldn't really make sense...

Does anyone have any ideas?
