Tokyo 2020 Day after Day as it could have happened

I personally think: I would love to see Tokyo 2021 happen.

 

But if Tokyo 2021 cannot happen it should be moved to 2032 without farther biding, if only JPN would be interested, and I am not sure they would.

 

So if there is Tokyo 2021 happening

or if Tokyo 2021 is cancelled, but JPN doesn;t want to have Tokyo 2032, or IOC (which is very likely) and NBC (which is not that likely) doesn;t share my opinion on Tokyo 2032 without bid,

who should get 2032 - I wonder what you think on that matter.

 

According to EN wikipedia, parties interested in hosting 2032 are:

 

Mumbai IND

Jakarta INA

Doha QAT

Rhine-Ruhr GER

Madrid ESP

Southeast Queensland AUS

 

And according to EN wikipedia, other potential bids are:

 

Seoul-Pyongyang KOR/PRK

Istanbul TUR

Chengdu-Chongqing or Shanghai CHN

Tokyo JPN

North-Central Italy ITA

Rotterdam-Amsterdam NED

London GBR

Budapest HUN

 

My early thoughts:

If i could choose among interested parties only:

(euro-vision style points haha):

1. Southeast Queensland AUS 6pts

2. Rhine-Ruhr GER 5pts

3. Madrid ESP 4pts

4. Doha QAT 3 pts

5. Mumbai IND 2 pts

6. Jakarta INA 1 pt

 

If I could choose among interested parties and potential bids combined: (tokyo 2032 excluded from the list due to what I wrote earlier):

1. Southeast Queensland AUS 13 pts

2. Rotterdam-Amsterdam NED 12 pts

3. Rhine-Ruhr GER 11 pts

4. Budapest HUN 10 pts

5. North-Central Italy ITA 9 pts

6. Madrid ESP 8pts

7. Shanghai CHN 7 pts

8. London GBR 6 pts

9. Doha QAT 5 pts

10. Mumbai IND 4 pts

11. Istanbul TUR 3 pts

12. Jakarta INA 2 pts

13. Seoul-Pyongyang KOR 1 pt

 

I know it is not how euro-vision points system work, but that is not important, the order is important, and the difference between the points, (if I can chooose among interested parties and potential bids combined - I want NED to host the 32 olympics twice as much as I want GBR to host it)

 

what are your thoughts on that, ladies and gents?

Friday Day 14   I would defenitely watch athletics - whole evening session is very interesting for me. W 1500 (with Sofia Ennaoui?), W Javelin (Maria Andrejczyk?) and 4x100 relays above all.

With all the money spent (15 billions so far, if my memory is good) I don't see the official from Tokyo cancelling the games.

 

A new postponment is not realistic as the cost of the games will climb up more and more and the situation will not be sustainable for japanese organisation and government.

Dreaming of 2032 for Tokyo is not an option too because effort made to delay the game for one year won't be made to set up the game in 10 years, and I assume japanese people will not be interested by the olympic games for a long time.

 

If the sanitary situation let the games happen they will happen this summer. From what we know last year the situation was under control during mid-spring to mid-autumn so Tokyo Games might take place this summer, I hope so.

My ranking would be:

1) Amsterdam

Don‘t like any of the other options for different reasons. Not sure how serious Amsterdam is.

1) I don’t want them to waste taxpayer money.

2) Looking at recent big projects in Germany I wouldn’t bet anything on all the facilities being ready in time.

3) I want to have Olympic Games in big iconic cities.

4) The region is very ugly. I don’t think it would be a nice place to welcome people from all over the world.

Amsterdam is never gonna happen, unfortunately. The residents are very much against it, except for me.

Sydney 2000 was by far the best Olympics in my lifetime - and I think the IOC heavies share that view 

I'd say SE Qld  must be a strong favourite but the IOC , while not as bad as FIFA , can easily be bought so Qatar wouldn't be too much of a surprise 

Australia is very good at these things -the Australian Open is the most popular major with the players for instance

Well, happy reading then :d I have both books, the part with the Hochschorners is the funniest, with their quote, there five rings at the Olympics, so we want five golds, one for each ring...it did not last too long, however :p

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ?

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
