Summer Olympic Games 2020 Official Countdown Thread

2020OfficialCountdown.png

 

 

Today we mark the 2 years to go milestone until the Opening Ceremony of the Games of the XXXII Olympiad in Tokyo.

It may seem a long way off in the distance right now but we are now over halfway through the Olympic cycle and the countdown towards the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is well and truly underway.

Members can post here on the thread to help build momentum as we countdown to the big event. This thread can be used to mark any milestones on the way, right through to the opening of the Olympic village, tracking the arrival of delegations, the raising of our national flags in the Olympic village and so on.

 

 

At some stage in future, possibly the 1 year to go mark, an Olympic Countdown Clock depicting the Olympic rings will be introduced to help us mark off milestones along the way and countdown the remaining days as we edge closer and closer to the Opening Ceremony on the 24th July, 2020.

 

 

So without further ado, let the countdown commence!!

Also if that "August 20" part is the day of revelation, then that's quite convenient for him. He will know by then in which classes both AUS/NZL qualify, and therefore he'll know which sailing class to aim for. :p My guess right now would be Finn.

good luck to all those who have to compete outdoor at the next Olympics (especially marathon runners and 50km race walkers)...

I cant await the ticket sale to open, i hope to get my hands on some tickets for the following events:

- Athletics: The day of womens 200 m or womens 5000 m final

- Swimming: The day of mens 1500 m free or mens 200 m IM final

- Tennis: From quarterfinals onwards, preferrably on the mens side

- Basketball: Any game on the mens side with the US or Germany (if Germany qualifies) or any quarterfinal/semifinal

- Track cycling: The day of mens sprint final

- Equestrian: The day of individual/team jumping final

- Fencing: The day of womens individual foil finals

- Gymnastics: The day of womens balance beam final

- Table tennis: The day of mens individual final

Tickets seem rather expensive for athletics/swimming/gymnastics and of course basketball, but for cycling/equestrian the tickets should be rather cheap, so lets see, hopefully not too many other german fans will try to get tickets ...

 

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

In The Netherlands ticket sale is not open yet, but I really hope to get the following tickets:
-Gymnastics: women's balance beam final (see you there ;-))

-Track cycling: men's teamsprint

-BMX: finals

-Judo: -70 kg women

-Volleyball/Handball/Waterpolo: any game on the womens side with Netherlands (if they qualifie)

Will be an expensive holiday, but really want to go to an Olympics for the fifth time (after Torino, Vancouver, London and Pyeongchang)

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
