The majority of our sports stadiums are open at full capacity.  Many people in this country consider the pandemic to be over, so I imagine we would have been much more open to the idea (obviously it's a moot point considering where we were a year ago, so it's not like anyone could have predicted we'd be where we are right now)

Thar is why a new wave could be rather bad in America. 30% unvaccinated and most of those thinking the pandemic is over is a recipe for chaos.

You can clap, use percussion instruments...

 

I think this is complete nonsense, they have less than 2k daily cases (still nothing for such a populated country) and the risk of having an outbreak for allowing some spectators is very low.

Really disappointed with the japanese.

The Poor vaccination rate and still hosting the Olympics is making the government in Japan unpopular. Having no fans is one way the Government hopes to not get further blame given to it,

But then again. It was the days of Saori Yoshida and the quite exceptional Games in London, spectatorwise! :p

Indeed (speaking about the London games in general). For me, 1992 was the peak of modern XX century Olympics, and the same way, 2012 was the peak of XXI century Olympics. Dont even know whether it is going to be surpassed, even though we are only at the second decade of XXI. c. :D :D

As an American.. LOL.  I get things are different in Japan, but this reads like the kind of sleazy tactic some Americans were going with last year and probably got laughed out of the courtroom

Yes, a US Court would likely quickly dismiss such a case for lack of jurisdiction.  Also, to get an injunction you have to show a strong liklihood that you would prevail on the merits.   I don't know the Japanese legal system either, but I would think a Japanese court would do something similar.

Most of our athletes will arrive on July 16 (our water polo and handball teams, wrestlers and judokas)

 

The firs Hungarian athlete, Julia Schmid (Canoe Slalom) arrived on July 7. The first couple of Hungarian swimmers arrived the next day, including Katinka Hosszú.

I assume Katinka's shorts are not part of the official uniform, right ? :p.

The first Spanish athletes (canoeing slalom team) arrived on July 3

 

 

Our sailing team arrived yesterday and most of our athletes will arrive on July 15 and 17, except the football team, because they will play a friendly match against Japan next Saturday, so they will arrive on July 13.

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
