From an Italian newspaper: "Watanabe proposes an unprecedented format of the Summer Olympics: to hold them simultaneously in five cities on five continents so as to ensure that they are televised 24 hours a day. The cities would be decided on the basis of several factors, the first of which would be the climatic aspect favourable to athletes, and ten disciplines would be held in each of them."

Well, we definitely know who should not be elected for President. More so I want him to stand in front of the people and they collectively laugh in his face.

I know TV is king but this is ridiculous. It's not 1956 anymore (and I still don't know why Australia didn't allow horses from other continents to enter).

This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost.

Yeah, I'm not entirely opposed of different host cities, but 24 hours of sports is not a good idea. Keep it to the 16-18 hour days.
