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...

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

 

when they are on the channel 58, no...just the awful SD we're used to...:facepalm::wall:

and the streaming is no HD either, so...I hope BBC are going to show the entire championship...:lol:

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.

They have World Urban Games now. Leave Olympics to the old ones, like us ;)

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:

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
