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. ;)

It's only about the IOC...

after the Sydney Games, they said that the Olympics would be never held outside the "classic" late July/August slate anymore...

why? I don't know...

maybe they are scared about going against the Football season (on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, American Football in North America and "Soccer" in the rest of the world) for TV rights/TV ratings issues...

Think about all those youth and urban (or at least youth) sport fans having holiday in July/August and sitting at school in October instead of watching youth and urban Olympics.

While I wouldn't like Olympics to be held in this period, I think having the Athletics World Championships in this period of the year is not that bad. When they are held in August, especially in pre-Olympic years, they take place in a week with thousands of other sports' world championships/Olympic qualifiers. The first week of October is usually pretty calm, most of the summer sports have finished, most of the winter sports still has to start.

I think there is no way an Australia/New Zealand/South Africa (or Argentina, I can dream :p) olympics will be held in July/August, while nowhere as cold as european winter it would be very depressing and annoying for spectators and also athletes. Outdoor water sports in particular would be a nightmare I think.  

 

Rio was ok because they have practically one station all year. But further down it becomes a big problem.

Even in Rio Beach Volley night games were cold and unconfortable

Yeah that was one of the only problems with the Pan Ams In Lima. I often didn’t feel like summer.

yeah, I know that...but apart from Australia (and surely not in Brisbane/Gold Coast...I'm pretty sure that the IOC wants Sydney to be the home of the Games once again, in case they choose to go downunder), I don't think we're ever going to see the Games hosted in the Southern Emisphere anymore...

 

p.s. and by the way, guys! speak for your own...:p

to me, when the temperature goes up the fridge-alike 3° / 4°C, it's always too hot and steamy...:yikes::evil::rofl::facepalm:

    • Women's Champions League   Chelsea FC 1 - 4 FC Barcelona (agg 2-8)    Barcelona have equalled Lyon's record of reaching five finals in a row, with the final in Lisbon to be their 100th Champions League game.   Olympique Lyonnais 1 - 4  Arsenal WFC  (agg 3-5)   Arsenal celebrate their first-ever away win in a UEFA two-legged semi-final tie, which takes them into the final for the first time since they lifted the trophy in 2006/07.   The Final will be in Lisbon, Estadio Jose Alvarde, on 24th May
    • Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday
    • If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders. 
    • At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us. 
    • yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series
    • after a few leagues ended well before the true climax, now we have both leagues from the good, old Czechoslovakia going to game #7    shame that both games will be at the exact same time   
    • complete blackout resulting in a 5 minutes major 3 minutes to the end
    • Extraliga Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Game #6: HC Kometa Brno (4) - HC Dynamo Pardubice (3)  1-5 (0-1, 0-1, 1-3)   the series is tied 3-3 and also in Czechia we're gonna watch the magic of a game 7...Extraliga does never disappoint its fans    Game #7 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29th in Pardubice @ 6 p.m. CET
    • Extraliga Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Game #6: HK Nitra (3) b. HC Košice (2)  3-1 (1-0, 0-0, 2-1)   Series is tied 3-3, so we go to a high drama decider in a couple of days   Game #7 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29th in Košice @ 6 p.m. CET     @hckošice  what's happening there? 
    • what a missed chance for     but Giorgia Stangherlin first and Asya Tavano then (in the playoff match, having clearly won the "regular" match against the same opponent) wasted the biggest occasion we ever had in this kind of competition   moreover, in the final match of the "regular 6", Veronica Toniolo got a serious knee injury against Eteri Liparteliani (the match was into the golden score period): she was carted off on a stretcher, screaming in pain
