I believe the U.S. territories that can have their own Olympic teams are Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, Canada, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
Canada???
Very droll, Gud.

Hong Kong IS China.
Oh, duh. Forgot that it is now, in the reading about the weirdness of quarantine and that being the reason for having dressage and evening being waaaaay off elsewhere. I just thought that was so sad--apparently hardly any of the equestrians went to the opening ceremonies because they would've had to fly there and back and lose days of training!

Well, if you were in showjumping or dressage you might have gone but I'm sure that the eventers didn't bother. (Because day 1 of eventing was Saturday and it started at 6:30 am.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(Because day 1 of eventing was Saturday and it started at 6:30 am.)
Yeah, with those hours, they might not have gone even if it were next door. Pageantry is one thing, but people tend to be very protective of their competition prep routines.

I knew it was Bugs Bunny, but I didn't know it was (more) literary on top of it. Kind of creepy, now, too. If what I remember of the fate of the little fuzzy things is correct.
Yeah, those old cartoons totally went there sometimes. Which is why they still rock so hard.
