Yeah, well, that figures. One TV station dictates the world what to do. They'll probably do so with the swimming too?

 

Swimming, Freestyle BMX & Skateboarding already have been scheduled according to NBC's desires (at about 10 /10.30 a.m. Tokyo time)...:evil:

Athletics being next is no surprise...

the only sport the Japanese guys have put total veto on is Gymnastics...that will stay in the Japanese prime time (6/7 p.m. local time)...

Oh well, the big fans will take vacation from work and change their rhythm's anyway to still watch it, while the athletes know the competitions times more than a year before and so also have all the time in the world to prepare for competing in the morning or whatever. I hate TV stations controlling the starting times like this, but we shouldn't make it a bigger deal than it is in terms of outcomes.

I guess you quoted the wrong post...:mumble:

even if I don't like this kind of arrogance shown by NBC, I never wrote that's a problem to me...

for the Olympic games, I'm taking 2+ weeks off since Barcelona 1992...and it's not gonna change this time, too...;)

Again, European stations did the same for Pyeongchang (ski jumping, biathlon, luge, nordic combined... all being held at unusual times for the athletes) and will do the same in Tokyo with a bunch of events scheduled for the evening hours (including equestrian for example). Blaming all your problems on NBC is just childish.

NBC started the trend though so they are the ones to blame.

And people wonder why the US is so dominant in swimming and athletics ...

First they got rid of russia in athletics and now they force the whole world to adapt to their biorhythm.

 

I think its a great idea to modify the race walking program, 50 km race walking has always been one of the most boring/unnecessary events of the games. The best solution in my opinion would be to only have womens 20 km race walking and mens 20 km race walking.

 

20 km for men will definitely suit the Latin American walkers which usually did better in 20k than 50k. Besides it's all about TV, 4 hours time frame for 50k walk probably drove everyone nuts. Olympics are just a TV puppet now. I wonder when will they remove the marathon from OG next?

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
