Tokyo Summer Olympic Games 2020 News


Recommended Posts

Apparently the head of the organizing committee said he still doesn't rule out the possibility of a last minute cancellation. The Games can be in danger if shit truly hits the fan in the next couple of days.

What was he doing there in the first place, considering Uganda has no weightlifting quota?

 

Edit: I see, he was on a waiting list and had been informed he didn't make it. Was in Japan in case he would, makes sense. Sad though..

He has been found

Impossible. I think they are only attempting to cover themselves and claim they were deliberating until the last moment if indeed shit hits the fan later during the Games.

he's proven wrong even before saying that by the Japanese Prime Minister, by the IOC President (Olympic Champion in Fencing in 1976 himself) Bach and by the Emperor of Japan, Naruhito, who confirmed he's going to the Opening Ceremony in full support of the Olympic Games...:whistle:

by the way, this is a clear proof of the Japanese hypocracy about the Games...

 

the Olympics must go on behind closed doors, but their regular activity, Basketball National team warmup matches included, can be played with at least 50% capacity crowd...in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, not on the Moon...

It’s because the Olympics have become so unpopular in Japan that it has become a consequence of being an electoral issue. 
 

Through it’s also because individual cities have the power to to be into an emergency and Tokyo city is a different entity to the wider metropolitan area.

The biggest effect of all this is finding a host for the 2030 Winter Olympics. No way will Sapporo be able to get the people onside. Salt Lake City and Vancouver seem to be only two realistic options and both are flawed.

Munich might be an option if the European Championships are successful

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
