Jumping, Dressage, Eventing It comes from times not so long ago when the term of "discipline" was used in the Olympic Charter. Now there's only "sport" and "event" remaining.

The rules about which sport or event have a pictogram but the other don,t are unclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greco-Roman should have its own, but it traditionally hasn’t at any multi-sports games, so that may be why. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

In Dutch news it said something similar, but not entirely the same: they said the Japanese minister responsible for this has said the contract states the Games have to be held in 2020, meaning 'one can read that as a right to postpone it'.

Why can't they have it in spring/summer 2021, if things continue to be so bad? Surely they can't be thinking of canceling the Olympics, because there are some Worlds or other events in 2021..

Going 8 years without Olympics would be a huge blow for the smaller sports for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,189 Posted March 3, 2020 #1289 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Don't forget all those horses who will be too old for 2021. Not that many of them, but there are certainly a couple for whom 2020 should be the final season. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial pressure on Tokyo/Japan to keep the whole thing up for another full year is huge.
