Did I pass? ?

It’s not a pass/fall initiation. It’s more like a right of passage.

NBC doesn't have the NBA rights, they would be happy to have something powerful to air against them. Their only issue is whether the big NBA players are willing to go to the Olympics against the playoffs. 

 

but they have the NHL and quite a few motorsports TV rights...

 

not only, they usually have the socalled Championships Season from May to the end of June/beginning of July with the Horse Racing Triple Crown and all the US Olympic Trials in Swimming, Gymnastics, Athletics and many more disciplines...basically, the perfect build up to the Games...

 

I don't think they would easily give up on all those things (or mess the Spring schedule up) only to please a few IOC members who would like the Olympics to happen as soon as possible...

Wouldn’t it be great to see the IOC fuck over NBC though :p

Um, what? Sources have been claiming that the games will likely be between Wimbledon (usually in July) and the US Open (usually in August/September). 

The newspapers I read had either May or June or July, though some prefer July- Aug most Nonetheless what big deal if it's held in June . Marathon can be held in Tokyo itself. NBC is not organizing the games. Expecting 2032 games in April or Sept-October if Australia wins which is likely. So NBC has no option but to listen. There shouldn't be any discussion about dates between NBC and IOC.

NBC has little to no control over when the Olympics are held.  They don't want to air them against another event, but then again, neither will European countries when there's a major football tournament going on and a tennis major.  That's why we're likely to see the Games in approximately the same time window as they would have been in 2020.  This also gives the sport federations and the athletes the proper lead up time to prepare for the Games as well

Yes, NBC cannot dictate when the games will be held.  And it's not discussed with the IOC when a city is bidding for the Olympics as that city decides what dates they propose to hold the games.

 

However.. bidding for the right to host the Olympics is usually a popularity contest about convincing the autocrats of the IOC to get in bed with you.  Looks like the Australians know how to play that game...

Ms Palaszczuk said the games, which would run from July 23 to August 8 in 2032, would provide legacy benefits for "generations to come".

 

So much for options.  NBC money wins out

The winter is the quite warm there according to Wikipedia, so having the games in July/August probably won't be an issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Australia#Queensland

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify.

The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p.

Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p.
