Tokyo Summer Olympic Games 2020 News

[Federer91 2,793]

By the way, i have been looking at the Wikipedia schedule (if it's real) and i don't like that they have cramed so many things in the first week. Badminton goes back with being held alongside tennis and table tennis. Wrestling is also brought back and is opposite judo and weightlifting for the most part. The second week seems very loose for me. Rio has great scheduling.

Can't believe that surfing will be in Olympics... Baseball would be great if it would have it's stars - now is just worthless...

 

Sport climbing/skateboarding - meh.... might develop to something good...

Karate - do we really need so many contact sports? At least get rid of Taekwondo or something....

I actually wish Karate was just Kata (and team Kata) conpetitions. At least that's something unique (and IMO Kumite just looks terrible on TV).

Is karate even a contact sport? I thought they don't hit each other  

 

And then there's kata, which should be in some sort of dancing competition, but not the Olympics..

12 set of karate medals, what a joke... Talk about inflating the host country's medals possition, a Japan?

I was just watching BBC when Rupert Winfield-Hayes came on and did a report about Tokyo. He was with some woman who got the design of the Olympic Stadium 'radically changed' (made smaller) and then she still thought it was too big. But they haven't started building it yet so they better hurry up. Then he talked to some skaters.

 

At least it's not as host-country friendly as Korea/Japan 2002 or Seoul 1988.
