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. :d

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)...;)

Olympics in October?

 

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?

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been that`s case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.

    • Unfortunately, he probably lost the all season because of those cursed games for his...
    • Is France hoping for 10 gold medals at home by 2030, only in biathlon competitions? In women's their dominance is almost certain for many years to come, unless Germany invests heavily in this sport- they have the capabilities and traditions, but will they have the determination for that?     https://www.fondoitalia.it/2026/02/23/biathlon-mazet-nuovo-allenatore-di-tiro-dei-francesi-lequipe-annunciato-tra-qualche-settimana/
