Then you should wake up and pay attention ;)

I have no idea where I would read that kind of stuff. It's not mentioned in normal news because there they are simply called volunteers.

it looks that the medical commission of the IOC has strongly recommended to change the start times for a few outdoor events...

among others, they asked that the marathon races would start at least at 6 a.m., even better at 5.30 a.m. (instead of the scheduled 7 a.m.) and also the race walking events should be moved back to an earlier start (at least 1 hour, if not more)...

meanwhile the mountain bike cross-country event should begin 1 hour (but it would be better 2 or more hours) later than the current 2 p.m. start...

even beach volley should be affected by this review of the schedule, with no games played between noon and 4 p.m.

IOC would analyze those considerations and take consequential actions in the next few weeks...

And this is based on weather info they didn't have 2 years ago? I always wonder how they can be so bad in preparing these things :p

the article I read was underlining as they were really scared by the heat waves of last Summer, when many people died because of that...

therefore they decided to reconsider some situations based on what happened a few months ago (personally, I think they are overreacting to an abnormal and unusual condition that hopefully won't repeat in 2 years time)...

This! Making decisions for 2020 based on extreme weather in 2018 is utterly absurd bonk.gif

Looks like the Koreas will compete together in women's basketball, canoeing and rowing with potential in judo and table tennis.

Qualifying in women's basketball is possible, but for canoeing and rowing, I doubt they would qualify in multi-person boats. Judo is useless as South Korea outranks all North Korean judokas while in table tennis I imagine both nations don't want to limit their players in the team event (unless the IOC/ITTF decides to have a six-person team)

 

Also I really hope they attempt to qualify using a combined team rather than relying on South Korea to qualify then creating a combined team.

no, it's not...

it looks that there have been issues with the NPB's Yomiuri Giants (tenants of the stadium), who are supposed not to play any of their home games during the Olympics, but they've not been assured of that by the League itself yet, so they haven't found any agreement with the Tokyo Organizing Committee

      if they will bring him back to the NT (this is the question, not if he comes back or not), surely it will be in the 86kg class   Moldova's case doesn't have any chance, it will be dismissed CAS can't overturn any result on the pitch, unless cheating (doping or blatant corruption) is proven

      ""The most important thing, in my opinion, is mental preparation" - Maria Vynnyk said this on Thursday after winning the first major gold medal; maybe this is where the secret lies. As you said, Ukrainian girls have always been strong, but not dominant at continental level; my conjecture is that the Russian invasion has made them mentally stronger, giving them that extra edge needed to tilt the balance in the final stages of a competition.
