message: I'm requesting a thorough review of the list of broadcasters indicated on the page, since it includes companies that havent existed at the time of the games (like satellite channels and HD broadcaster.)

"Roller hockey is a sport with a long 
history in Catalonia. The Federació 
Catalana de Patinatge was set up in 1928, 
although matches had been played on a 
rink in Turó Parc in Barcelona since 1915. 
Barcelona's candidature in 1986 included 
roller hockey for the first time on the 
Olympic programme as a demonstration 
sport.
The 12 teams taking part were divided 
into two groups. Group A played in Vic, 
and was made up of Portugal, Argentina, 
Italy, the United States of America, 
Switzerland and Japan while Group B 
played in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia and was

message: There is the claim that a Belarussian won an equal-record number of medals, yet Belarus isn't on the participating country list.  Did they compete as part of the Soviet Union?
: Not technically as part of the Soviet Union (as the USSR dissolved prior to the Games), but Belarus did compete on a combined team with many other former Soviet republics.  The team was known as the Unified Team.  -- Jonel | Speak 21:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi.
I read here that only four National Olympic Committees didn´t send athletes to compete to the XXVth Olympiad: Afghanistan, Brunei, Liberia and Somalia. In YouTube videos about Barcelona 1992 Opening Ceremony this nations took part in the parade (just only the flagbearers carry the national flags)

thread_title:  The Parade of Nations of Barcelona 1992 

message: I believe the reference concerning the torch lighting is incorrect.  It is true that Antonio Rebello intentionally overshot the cauldron (which was obvious to anyone watching it); however, he DID light the flame.  They used an oversized cauldron and turned the gas on well before the lighting ceremony to saturate the air above the cauldron.  When Rebello's flaming arrow passed over the cauldron, it ignited the gas in the air, thus lighting the cauldron.  (Ironically, it was the 1992 Winter Olympics that had a "fake" lighting ceremony; the flames came roaring out of the cauldron seconds BEFORE the flaming ball got to its lip, and the cauldron's design made it impossible to have been indirectly lit like Rebello did at Barcelona.)  Now, if I only had a reference... --RBBrittain (talk) 21:30, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
