Deciding what is and isn’t a political statement is itself a political statement.

Or who’s allowed to be political, and who isn’t?

 

I honestly expect to see hella athlete protests and activism at these games. Especially since the IOC released this ridiculous document. Not to mention the whole Rule 40 debate...

I expect a whole lot of "I'm going to protest!" statements by athletes who'll not protest eventually.

IOC also confirmed the Sapporo, Salt Lake, and Barcelona are interested in the 2030 Winter Olympics. Looks like it’s time for the Mormons to break out the checkbook again...

 

Sapporo and Salt Lake will be the 2030 and 2034 hosts in some order.  I think we'll see Sapporo get 2030 in order to distance Salt Lake from LA 2028.  Won't hurt matters that 2034 will be the first Olympics of a new TV contract after NBC's current deal expires

Meh.  I agree with heywoodu.. a lot of athletes will say they're going to.  And then they'll get to Tokyo and not actually do it.

They won’t award both games. There’s too much interest with three cities involved. I think it’s a bit rude to write off Barcelona already, but I do agree they probably stand no chance winning the games. NBC will forever broadcast the Olympics. The IOC doesn’t watch porn, they just look at the NBC logo...

Right, which is just as hypocritical, and those lose my respect in a way.

Well, so long as that Comcast money keeps flowing.  The IOC did them a huge favor this last time around not opening up negotiations for the other networks, basically telling NBC "thanks for everything over-paying for the last 2 deals, here's the next 6 Olympics at a discount."  We'll see what happens down the road.  I agree they won't award both Games, but it's not the most impossible outcome if only to lock in Salt Lake before the IOC starts negotiating a new TV deal

Some highlights from the IOC EB meeting:

- Lausanne 2020 was the most watched and followed Winter YOG to date. Severe rise in popularity.

- IOC aim to have the Olympics be “carbon positive” by 2030 (meaning that they go further than being carbon neutral)

- All NOCs must work towards having at least 1 man and 1 woman at the Summer Olympics starting with Tokyo 2020

- Parade of Nations guidelines will be change to recommend each NOC have a pair of the flagbearers (one male, one female)

I also suggest a man and a woman can only walk side by side. If there is an uneven number of representatives of both sex's, the odd one should be deported to their home country immediately!

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify. The battle is in the second place between  (16p) and  (13p).  with 8p is almost out.  and  eliminated.   Group B:  won both of the 2 games so is almost secured with 19p.  is second with 14p, with  (1 more game played) and  with 11p.  is eliminated and  practically too (6p)   Group C:  went 2 out of 2 so they are still first with 16p and one game less than the rest. The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p.
