What about Dakar then? 2023?

 

They're scheduled for late October/early November.  Obviously it would be squeezing a lot onto the calendar with the Olympics, Paralympics, and Youth Olympics all in 1 year.  But hopefully it wouldn't need to be pushed back

No, still 2022. No reason to move those.

I would totally be okay with 2022. That’d be an epic year. 2 Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, and Asian Games. Plus, I’ve never lived in a time where both Olympics have taken place in a single year, so that’d be really special for me. I also think it gives the world ample time to cover recover from corona, and for the global economy to pick back up. For a business standpoint, this would be a great decision.

OCA have been trying to have Asian Games in the year before Olympics for some time but it never materialised. If Olympics are held in 2022, I think there is good chance Asian Games will be postponed to 2023.

Hangzhou already object and protest the postponement of the Olympics to 2022. It will cause a series of chaos.

No idea where you got this 2022 thing.

 

"The IOC remains fully committed to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and with more than four months to go before the Games there is no need for any drastic decisions at this stage; and any speculation at this moment would be counter-productive."

Which would be cool too, since we’d have all the five continental games in one year.

Only some personal thought by a few Japanese officials, but the effect 10000 times magnified by social platforms and media.

That's meaningless. Having so many events in 1 year won't help.Athletes will skip all smaller events to concentrate on Olympics.

    • 6 golds, 1 silver, and 1 bronze for  overall 
    • I simply believe that at the age of 36 she will no longer be in her peak form, and only such form would allow her to fight for medals. And Schulting will also come... On top of that, she plans to combine short track with speed skating? I don't see that at this age. As of today, I see the greatest chances for her in 2 relays and a mass start on a long track.
    • ISU World Tour 2024/25 -  Montréal (Stage 2/6)   Men's 5.000m Relay:   01.  Canada 02.  South Korea 03.  Italy
    • Give her some time. I think she will grow into the season and seeing how many different skaters already have won medals in the first two weekends of the season, I don't see why Fontana couldn't be one of them. She's been incredibly close this weekend with two A-finals in her first event back.
    • Finish of the men's 5.000m relay B-final:  
    • I hope Fontana will start competing in the mixed relay, because there Italy has a real chance of winning a medal with her great start.
