Tokyo 2020 Day after Day as it could have happened


 Share

Recommended Posts

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?

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

    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
