The Hungarian National TV was a true trailblazer, they already made the decision to move back their main studio to Budapest from the hosting city 5 years ago.  

 

That was mostly because the Hungarian TV is running out of money, so they can't afford it anymore to move their entire sport department to the hosting city and have their production there. Which is a shame, I liked how special it felt when their entire team was in Beijing and London with a studio made just for this one event. Maybe they will do it again for Paris because it will be closer to us, but I doubt it, the Hungarian TV isn't making any extra effort anymore to have quality broadcasts.

Diving WC was like the last chance for Tokyo to host a truly global event before July?

 

And even that was to be at an incomparably smaller extent...

Don't they dare cancel it, I just put in my request for 10 free days (with the Friday of the opening ceremony being the first and the Monday after the closing ceremony being the last, I'm free on Wednesdays by default and this way I only miss the first Thursday with some random football and softball, big whoop  ).

Hahaha, I know the pain, I have submitted my holiday request for Olympic period this week too.

Luckily I just had my monthly chat with my superior and I remembered to bring this up, he said he was planning to send everyone an email asking about their holiday plans somewhere next week and if submitting it before roughly half April, there's a good chance there shouldn't be much of a problem  

 

I'll be crossing my fingers for you as well now

Meh... I can wait before asking for any holiday request all the way through early July basically.
