Tokyo Summer Olympic Games 2020 News

IOC should finally take a stand against dictatorships. Excluding Italy from the Olympics seems like the best solution.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Isn't "compromising" with dictatorships part of that strange kind of tradition of hypocrisy in the IOC? As my neghbour from behind the Oder you should know, whom I mean. Hint: he had a moustache much smaller but more characteristical than de Coubertin.

I recall Italy in white athletics uniforms in late 80s and even 90s but that was after Mennea's heyday, that's what got me confused here. I do remember Fiona May or Annarita Sidoti in all-white too but that's like over 20 years ago and my memory could be wrong.

 

Didn't like Stefano Baldini win marathon gold running in all white? :mumble:

Yes...

 

also Ivano Brugnetti won the 20km race walk in Athens and Alex Schwazer the 50km race walk in Beijing...going back, Gelindo Bordin won the Seoul 1988 Marathon in white...

 

as I wrote, the white one is the regular outfit for distance runners and race walkers...

Where the hell do you get 40-50 golds from? Combined they won 28 golds at the last Olympics. For 40 golds, Russia would probably have to win more than 25 golds and for 50 golds Russia would probably have to win more than 35 golds. 40 golds might be possible, but 50 golds would be more than surprising.

25 Russia, 10 Italy, 5 Belarus...and you get 40 (which is very much a realistic preview)...

 

if you add 2/3 more for each Country (more optimistic preview) you go even beyond 50...

 

Russia in Rio was excluded from many events where they could win medals (and the entire delegation was a bit shaky because of the whole mess regarding their status)...this time they have the chance to win a lot more gold medals than 4 years ago...

Which event, where they could win more than 1 gold medal, were they excluded from? They were excluded from weightlifting but I doubt that they will win more than 1 gold medal there. Also the perfect outcome for Italy would be 12 golds and for Belarus it would be 6 golds, so your predictions for those countries seem pretty optimistic and even if they make it we are still far away from 50 golds. With Italy and Belarus realistically not combining for more than 15 golds, 35 golds would have to come from Russia.

they didn't change their mind...

 

it's the government that approved a new "law" that follows the IOC's recommendation before resigning this morning...

 

it's a bit different...

    • on a podium in pairs for the first time since 1957!
    • Hmm, but where were these people 2 or 3 years ago? They probably don't even know what is a Division 1A at the Hockey World Championships?
    • Is Finoro a significant reinforcement? The rest of the squad is very weak and lost heavily to Great Britain at the last World Championship Div. 1 A. I'm worried about our disaster in Milan in this squad and form  In Turin 2006 it wasn't that bad, but we simply had a stronger team.
    • Pairs Event     The pairs event will kick-off in the second-half of the contest at the beginning of the third session. It will involve nations from the teams eliminated from the team competition after the first 2 sessions.   There will be 8 pairs participating so in addition to the 12 eliminated nations from the team event (13 in the event that the 4 nation team are eliminated), the remaining 3 or 4 places will be awarded to the lowest ranked nations individually who are still in the team event.   All rankings will be taken from the halfway stage (end of session 2).   Pairs will be formed by ranking the 16 participating nations and balancing them as follows: Highest ranked nation of the 16 will be paired with the lowest ranked of the 16. 2nd ranked will be paired with the 15th. 3rd ranked will be paired with the 14th, and so on in this fashion....     The format will mimic a madison cycling event. There will be 6 sprints in total (5 intermediate sprints and a final sprint). The intermediate sprints each will run over the course of 3 rounds of voting. For example:   Sprint 1 (votes from the 18th-20th juries) Sprint 2 (votes from the 21st-23rd juries) Sprint 3 (votes from the 24th-26th juries) Sprint 4 (votes from the 27th-29th juries) Sprint 5 (votes from the 30th-32nd juries)   There will then be a final sprint which will be worth double points and will consider the votes from the 33rd and 34th juries. How sprint points are won?? The 8 pairs will be ranked after each sprint is completed by the following criteria in order of importance:   - total medals won - gold medals won - silver medals won - bronze medals won - points won - highest point value from a single jury   Therefore, the pair that won the most total medals during that sprint will be ranked highest. If there is a tie for total medals, the pair with the most gold wins, then most silvers, then most, bronze medals.   If there is still a tie we then consider how many points the pair won during that sprint.     After each sprint, the highest ranked teams will be awarded points as follows:   - 1st ranked = 5 points - 2nd ranked = 3 points - 3rd ranked = 2 points -4th ranked = 1 point       Bonus points: Pairs will win 5 bonus points every time both pairs win medals from a single jury. Pairs will win 2 bonus points every time both pairs win points from a single jury. Pairs that win 5 bonus points for medal doubles, cannot also claim points doubles in the same vote, i.e. they won't receive 5 and 2 points, they will just receive 5 points.     In the event of a tie in the overall standings after each sprint, the pair that finished highest ranked in the most recent sprint will be ranked higher. Therefore, if there is a tie in the overall standings at the end of the competition, the pair that finished highest in the final sprint will be ranked higher overall.
