Samsung has provided mobile phones at the Olympic Games since the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. This year it is providing the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G. It is teaming up with Japanese carrier, NTT Docomo, to ensure that the athletes at the games are able to download apps that are necessary for the games. https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/events/olympic-games-and-samsung-galaxy/ https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-s21-olympic-games-edition-142323322.html 9 Likes 2 Shares |

However, this has often led to controversy because some athletes and officials at the games are unable to get the phones. Iranian and North Korean athletes could not receive the special Olympic edition Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that was given to athletes at the 2018 Winter Olympics in China because of UN sanctions. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/7/16988272/north-korea-2018-winter-pyeongchang-olympic-edition-samsung-galaxy-note-8-sanctions-iran The rules also say that athletes that are disqualified from the games would not receive the phones (that is the cause of the recent crisis over the Nigerian athletes that were excluded from the games due to issues around drug testing). naptu2: 5 Likes

Dou know? The place where a river begins is called its source. River sources are also called headwaters. Rivers often get their water from many tributaries, or smaller streams, that join together. The tributary that started the farthest distance from the river's end would be considered the source, or headwaters. 36 Likes 3 Shares

Nigeria is an embarrassing country.... Like wtf are officials taking athletes phones for? So they can bring it to Nigeria and sell them? The corruption in this country is just too much.... Anywhere you put a Nigerian person in power, it's just how to make money or cheat others he's after......no zeal to work or make things better. Little wonder why we are so messed up sports wise and other sectors.... Just look at how under par our performance has been all-rounder at the Olympics.... It has been mentally challenging for all these athletes. 37 Likes 1 Share |

Those Japanese making it official to our criminal officials that the phones are meant for ATHLETES. Just imagine sef, when the officials withheld the ineligible athletes' phones, why didn't they return it to the IOC? Why keep them for yourself if you nor be confam thief?

Hmm 1.In a previous report, it was alleged that it was Nigerian officials who witheld the phone. Now, it seems it was the IOC. I know Nigerian athletics has its corruption issues, but that previous report was a lie. 2.[s]The ten Nigerian athletes who missed tests, that was their fault. It is not the job of the federation to inform them of the tests, or to see to it that they do the tests, it is the atheltes themselves who submit an address to the testers, who may come at a time when the athlete does not expect them. A trick to stop widespread doping in sprts[/s] Above cancelled in light of new information that the problem came from the AFN not the athletes.. 2 Likes 1 Share |
