Tokyo Summer Olympic Games 2020 News

I fully expected the incumbent to win, but the fate of the Olympics is in the hands of the Japanese people. They will ultimately decided rather or not we will have a games next year. To be honest, it is their right to choose. Japan is in a economic depression, if not recession, and these Games are bleeding money from the national government.

I fear and sadly expect that next year Games will not happen, better be prepared for it now than be later disappointed. Tokyo is cursed (I mean about 1940...)

Corona will return in autmn and I don't believe that all countries will recover from this until next spring.

Yeah, at this point I believe it's more likely that the Olympic Games will not be held at all (remember, another postponement has already been ruled out as an option).

 

And even if they are held, they will prove to be disasterous for all kinds of reasons...

And whole sport calendar would be a one big mess for 2 years, as for example Athletics WC are already moved to 2022.

Right, that does suck, but I think of it this way. If the Olympics happen next year, yay! If the Olympics don’t happen, at least we’ve saved all those events to the best of our ability by pushing them back to more plausible dates.

as I wrote elsewhere...

 

Tokyo city: 14 million residents

Tokyo metropolitan area: more than 40 million residents

entire Japan: more than 126 million people

 

number of people involved in that survey: just over 1,000 (which means the 0.00007% of the Tokyo city centre residents)...and with no clue on how they were chosen...

 

my consideration...this survey is just BULLSHIT! 

it looks to be in Italy, where a few hundreds of idiots can even get the driving seat of the Country (any reference to the 5 star movement and our current political leaders like prime minister Conte or foreign affairs minister Di Maio is purely intentional :evil: :facepalm: :wall:)...

Statistically speaking 1,000 is enough for (and common for) a random sample, but you are correct that this sample may not constitute a complete survey of the topic.

    • I still remember watching the World Junior Championships in Moncton when ES was hyping her unbeaten streak of 100+ races or whatever the number was and she promptly came 2nd in 200m
    • After four weekends of winter sports, we are slowly entering the middle of the winter season . And, as usual, it's time for statistics that I don't know which theared to put in      After 29 events, 20 different NOCs was already on the podium. After several seasons, Uzbekistan is also back on the podium thanks to figure skating (and two former Russians).   This weekend will be all about ice sports, with a total of 13 events: 4 in figure skating (first stage in Europe) and 9 in short track (second stage in Montreal, since SLC was cancelled)
    • World Boxing approved seven new applications from the National Federations in Andorra, Belgium, Iraq, Lithuania, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Thailand. 
    • Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
    • A friend of mine who visited 97 countries of the world be in Turkmenistan (with Kunshamara, are the onlyones i know) and he tell me something that never see in another country: his presence was enough to make nervous to all the people, in restaurants, markets, etc, the presence of an "outsider" generate that.
