While giving petrodollars as a bribe being the only reason to give these hosting rights is ok?

 

No idea where I said or even suggested that, no. I'm just reacting to someone mentioning some reasons and this specific one seems like a pretty odd reason. No event can ever change the 'traditional timing and schedule' (whatever that may be)?

World Cup in the winter? Olympics in October? Marathon run at midnight?

 

If a country cannot physically host an event in the regular window for fear of heat exhaustion and athlete performance, they should not be hosting these events.

'Messing' with 'traditional timing and schedule' seems a bit of an odd reason not to grant hosting rights, to put it mildly.

 

Especially when you have NBC and swimming schedule at Olympics

Well that's one way to look at it. 

 

I think it's disqualifying, but this is one issue among the several that I listed

In a few decades, Qatar weather will be in many other places and countries, so why not start early with the sporting schedules.

They will not show all in TV but they will go on RaiPlay for some session (at last a small part of the session). Do you know, it's rai.

 

no, they are going to reinstate raisport 2 for a few days as an independent tv channel, beside the usual raisport+ to show all the events they have to (Cycling, Athletics, Volleyball, Basketball and Canoeing)...

This would be perfect for Tokyo, as the weather conditions would be much more moderate.

 

I mean, in 1964 Tokyo did host the Olympics in October, but I guess people were smarter back then.

Didn't see people complain about it on Totallympics back then!

They will the channel 58, so no any chance to have an HD trasmission?
