I have to say, Bolero playing during the torch relay conclusion in Japan must be one of the most odd music choices... ever.

 

 

Kind of surprised Osaka got the honor.

Final torchbearer should be someone iconic in that country's sporting history. Osaka is the best they could do??

Cathy Freeman route. Only less organic.

I understand the let down by the choice to light the flame, but let's not attack mental illness.  She can have mental exhaustion and still do this.

Exactly just cause she got stressed doesn't mean she can't do anything public ever again

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Obviously, there’ll be a lot of mixed feelings about that ceremony, but in my opinion, they really stuck the landing at the end there. That last creative segment was great, and the torch relay/lighting went well and met the moment.

Japan had so many great options and they picked Naomi??? 

Cant understand this.

Money talks. Osaka has insane BIg Tech support in USA & Asia. For being viewed as a traditional country Japan went with the Big Tech latest trend.

Osaka is by far the most well-known Japanese athlete, I don't know why anyone is shocked. Before the ceremony I was thinking about who they would choose and I thought that it will either be Osaka if she wants to do it or they will just go with young children or young athletes like London. And yep, those ended up being the last two in the Torch Relay. :lol:

      Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid

      Doping Cases and Bans in 2025

      By bestmen · Posted

      From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
