Olympian1010 7,971 Posted June 15, 2020 #1471 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I fully expected the incumbent to win, but the fate of the Olympics is in the hands of the Japanese people. They will ultimately decided rather or not we will have a games next year. To be honest, it is their right to choose. Japan is in a economic depression, if not recession, and these Games are bleeding money from the national government. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I fear and sadly expect that next year Games will not happen, better be prepared for it now than be later disappointed. Tokyo is cursed (I mean about 1940...) Corona will return in autmn and I don't believe that all countries will recover from this until next spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted June 29, 2020 #1475 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Yeah, at this point I believe it's more likely that the Olympic Games will not be held at all (remember, another postponement has already been ruled out as an option). And even if they are held, they will prove to be disasterous for all kinds of reasons... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whole sport calendar would be a one big mess for 2 years, as for example Athletics WC are already moved to 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, that does suck, but I think of it this way. If the Olympics happen next year, yay! If the Olympics don’t happen, at least we’ve saved all those events to the best of our ability by pushing them back to more plausible dates. rybak 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Tokyo city: 14 million residents Tokyo metropolitan area: more than 40 million residents entire Japan: more than 126 million people number of people involved in that survey: just over 1,000 (which means the 0.00007% of the Tokyo city centre residents)...and with no clue on how they were chosen... my consideration...this survey is just BULLSHIT! it looks to be in Italy, where a few hundreds of idiots can even get the driving seat of the Country (any reference to the 5 star movement and our current political leaders like prime minister Conte or foreign affairs minister Di Maio is purely intentional )...

Federer91 2,793 Posted June 29, 2020 #1479 Share Posted June 29, 2020 So Japan invested all those billions for nothing. Yeah, i'm sure that is the best option for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically speaking 1,000 is enough for (and common for) a random sample, but you are correct that this sample may not constitute a complete survey of the topic. “Sport has the power to change the world.
