That's interesting... Only Wikipedia seems to point out that the equestriam events were held in Karuizawa? Equestrian articles mainly suggest that the venue was Baji Koen, which will also play host in 2020.

 

in 1964, 3 different venues were used for the Equestrian competitions:

 

- Karuizawa (Chiba Prefecture) hosted the 3-Day event

- the Equestrian Park in Setagaya-ku* (Tokyo) hosted the Dressage competitions

- the National (Olympic) Stadium in Shinjuku-ku* (Tokyo) hosted the Show Jumping events

 

* -ku basically means "block"...

 

for more details, check the IOC Tokyo 1964 Official Reports #1 (page 115 and following) and #2 (page 577 and following)...

This time the small difference is that it´s the Russians themselves saying that, so..

Somehow it may be interesting and extremely followed in Slovakia (about the Beijing 2022 ofc) and the Ice Hockey qualifying ranking

How crazy is crazy, let's make a calendar of starts 24 hours a day. It will definitely be good for the athlete, on-site supporter and the person who will follow the struggles outside the Asian continent.
