I have to choose between 1992 and 2004, but I think 2 004 is too Greek-exclusive. So yeah Amigos para siempre

Munich’s motto seems painfully ironic...

Personally, my three favorites: Welcome Home (which I voted for), Friends for Life, and The Celebration of the Century.

 

Besides that, 88’s has a nice tone, and 2000 and 2012 are meh. The rest aren’t great.

 

 

If I could make some suggestions for Tokyo: Rings of Fire, Blooming Friendship, Blossoming Peace

Why? It's a Powerful Motto. 

Buddy, you’ve got the wrong motto/year there...

2004 is rare example of where exclusive is good. It’s hard to have a more powerful motto than “welcome home”. I mean, it’s the land that started both the ancient and modern games. On the flip side, “Amigos para siempre” works so well because it’s simple and fun to say. 
 

“United by Emotion” might be the worst one on there (this is with me refusing to acknowledge 1936 entry, and the aftermath of 1972). It’s not fun, it doesn’t sound good in English, it has nothing to do with Japan. It’s weak.

Lol. I mean My favorite Motto is Amics per sempre(Barcelona 1992)....  IMO Berlin 1936 Motto is really good and fit perfect for those games, it's so militar.

      I hope they can kick teqball and convince the North Koreans to play the real deal  (very unlikely, I know(   Obstacle racing on the other hand, it should be a compulsory sport of the ABG

      Lasting 2 Weeks and including 24 sports    I bet Beach Sepaktakraw(including their favourite Chinlone, Hoop), Water Skiing, Arnis, Floorball, Wushu, Weightlifting, Taekwondo, Underwater Hockey, Boxing and a few martial arts (Kickboxing/Muay Thai etc)   Obstacle Racing also should make the cut.

      Oops. I must have misunderstood. I could have sworn I saw her jogging in a field of other men. I assumed she had caught up to some of the slower men. (I admittedly wasn't watching closely.)

      This came out on the official website yesterday. Updated list of events and competition schedules in Japanese.   Padel and Teqball are on the schedules. Looks like two events for Padel and five for Teqball.   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会競技プログラム.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会デイリースケジュール.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会セッションスケジュール.pdf   On the sports programme PDF, Padel is #25 and Teqball is #38.

      looks like the agreement is the international federations are in fact hosting the event, not the AG organizers, so everything is up to them to make it happen.   Teqball is now confirmed to have 5 events (singles and doubles) does it mean easy 5 gold medals for Thailand ?   Padel is not 100% confirmed yet. I assume there are still talks ongoing between the IF and the Japanese organizers.

      [OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2021

      By torres7 · Posted

      I feel like this year's Eurovision is more wide open than ever 😂   There isn't a clear favorite, and that makes everything more exciting. Finland is looking strong, sure, but Ukraine always knows how to surprise people and connect with them. I was checking out the odds a bit, and I was struck by how quickly they're rising.   By the way, I found a site that compares the odds pretty clearly: https://casasdeapuestaseurovision.com/   It’s nothing special, but it gives you an idea of how things are shaping up before the semifinals. Although we all know how this goes… at Eurovision, everything can change in a matter of minutes
