after Pyeongchang's disaster, this Tokyo schedule is going to be by far the worst in the Olympic history among the "televised Games" (from 1960 on)...:facepalm::wall:

 

c'mon! not even in the world cup stages we have 2 shotgun shooting finals on the same day! :nopompom:

Schedule will be fine for those of us attending :p. I can only realistically see like 2 events a day anyways. The compact schedule has worked out well for my group. We can a lot of what we wanted to see Handball, Equestrian, Basketball (3x3), Canoe, Weightlifting

I can't wait for the 3 hours of nothing (except for maybe a qualifying here and there) followed by 2 hours filled with 16 finals! I love not being able to watch most of the things :cheer:

It will be the venue for Judo as well. I believe it’s generally been used mainly for national Sumo tournaments in the past.

Also the venue of the inaugural Olympic Judo tournament in 1964, which is what it was built for.

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
