Will they want to bid? 2034 feels more realistic for them if Germany don’t got for Summer 2036.

The Koenigsee luge/bobsled/skeleton track just being destroyed might have some impact on when/if Munich might bid.

No chance. The Munich/Ga-Pa 2022 OG bid was voted down by the locals in 2013 already.

I got a headache reading this. Or maybe that's because I slept maybe 4 hours last evening.


At any rate, here is how independent journalists had to scrape their way to Tokyo... Totally unsustainable.

Baseball stadiums famous for junk food, the bear obviously expected a nice quiet search through the trash.

Still to many considering number of athletes who won't be able to compete due to being tested positive in village already. Imo only flagbearers should be at parade under current situation, it's not worth to risk.

At this point I though IOC made some kind of a deal with NOCs for the Opening Ceremony because I found it strange that none of them announced the boycott of the Parade of Nations already. I guess NOCs are just waiting until the last minute to announce this.

 

I will be surprised if most (or all) NOCs with over 100 athletes won't follow this example. It's a stupid idea to have a normal Parade of Nations under these circumstances.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
