Like everything, I got in artistic debate over the look of the tickets yesterday with people in my Going To Tokyo 2020 group (which is now up to 400!).

 

I love the simplistic design of the tickets, but many didn’t. Most people wanted anime, or rising sun, or other stuff that I just find overtly stereotypical and not pertaining to the Olympics.

Personally, I like the tickets. It is simple and colorful with the pictograms. I like the venues on the tickets as well.

People also didn’t like that they weren’t shinny like the ones in Rio and Pyeongchang. Olympic ticket design is always fun. As we always conclude around here, some will like, some won’t, and many don’t care either way.

New Gracenote predictions are out.

 

@heywoodu Now they predict 41 (!) medals for the Netherlands. It's like they are the hosts or something.

Gracenote predictions are not to be taken seriously  

 

Just like looking at previous Olympics and drawing a line or something to predict a nation's medals is utterly worthless

And Denmark under 10 medals  

But yeah. Still mainly a funny thing to look at

That's just weird, since right now I am willing to predict two Danish medals in dressage alone.

Wouldn't mind that  

I see about 30-35 possible medals in total. About medals in 1/3 are usually a decent way to look at it, which would mean 10-12. Lower than that would mean that things won't quite go our way.
