Summer Olympic Games 2020 Official Countdown Thread

[OlympicIRL 6,165]

 

 

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!!

Did he just troll us?

We all know it's sailing.

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. My guess right now would be Finn.

just to know what we should expect in 2 years time...

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 ...
