not sure Burkina Faso is in that list? :mumble:

 

if they are, :BUR Fabrice Zango is the most likely to win a medal (athletics, men's triple jump)...

Oh, I forgot BUR, too. Although I predicted him for a bronze a few days ago, instead of Will Claye.

that;s interesting. You think they can win doubles together in Tokyo?

 

any Argentinian chances in doubles, what do you think?

I think it´s open, most top doubles players don´t play together with their countrywomen on tour, so they should be in the mix. There are a lot of single players who could go far, like Sabalenka/Azarenka or Barty/Stosur. 

 

Zeballos/González and Zeballos/Podoroska will be in the mix too.

Cool ... why should we care about random rumors? Why not just wait until there is an official decision? Also I doubt that the 2026 olympics will take Place in Los Angeles and i don’t think anyone can say today whether the 2024 and 2028 olympics will take place as planned. 

You are right.

New topic.

 

If Tokyo happens, and if you have a chance to be there, and if you are a milionaire and can buy every ticket you want, where would you be on particular days and why? Remember, you - usually - cannot be in 2 places in the same time. And you must have enough time to move from one location to another, using your beautiful limo ;-)

 

New topic just for fun, because:

 

1. Tokyo will likely happen in 2032 - I don't see more than 50/50 chances it wil happen this year.

2. We are not milionaires, aren't we?

3. Normally, before covid, it is relatively easy to get to the olympics, but to get tickets you want and to be in THE GOLDEN CIRCLE - well... that's a different story.

 

My early thoughts for first days. (Subject to change).

 

Day - 2 Wed 21/07/2021

 

9.00-17.00 SOFTBALL - Women Games, AUS vs JPN, ITA vs USA, MEX vs CAN - Fukushima Azuma Baseball Stadium

Because: 1. I never watched softball live before, 2. staging opening event of the entire games in Fukushima is very important for Japanese people because of obvious reasons, 3. I'm not really interested in women's football.

 

21.00-??? Party in Tokyo best places.

 

Day - 1 Thu 22/07/2021

 

???-13.00 Resting after yesterday's party in my hotel bed ;-)

 

17.00-22.00 FOOTBALL - Men's First Round - 2 Matches - Tokyo Stadium

Teams unknown yet, but I want to see the stadium

 

23.30-??? Party in Tokyo best places.

 

Day 0 Fri 23/07/2021

 

???-13.00 Sleeping

 

20.00-23.00 OPENING CEREMONY!!!

Because I love parade of nations. I really do. That is strange, I know that, but I really do.

 

Day 1 Sat 24/07/2021

 

???-18.15 CYCLING ROAD - Men's Road Race - I would like to be either at Fuji International Speedway or at Kagosaka Pass (14 km to go, probably the deciding moment)

Because I love road cycling very much (if it's not Katowice downhill sprint at Tour de Pologne) and road race is the blue ribbon event on day 1 for me

 

19.40-23.30, but maybe even later on - VOLLEYBALL - Men's Preliminary Round - POL vs IRI and USA vs FRA - Ariake Arena

 

Because M volleyball team would probably be the only POL team in team sports in Tokyo,

But - I am afraid even my limo may be not fast enough to get to Ariake Arena from road race route on time. But if they play 5 sets, I would watch the tie-break and then USA vs FRA

 

Day 2 Sun 25/07/2021

 

10.30-12.20 SWIMMING - Tokyo Aquatics Centre -

  • Men's 400m Individual Medley Final
  • Women's 100m Butterfly Semifinals
  • Men's 400m Freestyle Final
  • Men's 400m Individual Medley Victory Ceremony
  • Women's 400m Individual Medley Final
  • Men's 400m Freestyle Victory Ceremony
  • Men's 100m Breaststroke Semifinals
  • Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Final
  • Women's 400m Individual Medley Victory Ceremony
  • Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Victory Ceremony

 

Because THIS IS SWIMMING!!! First finals. Cannot be missed.

 

???-??? Some decent Japanese streetfood

 

17.00-19.40 JUDO - Nippon Budokan

 

  • Women -52 kg Repechage
  • Women -52 kg Semifinals
  • Men -66 kg Repechage
  • Men -66 kg Semifinals
  • Women -52 kg Contests for Bronze Medal
  • Women -52 kg Final
  • Men -66 kg Contests for Bronze Medal
  • Men -66 kg Final
  • Women -52 kg Victory Ceremony
  • Men -66 kg Victory Ceremony

 

Because watching judo finals in Tokyo would be sth special, even if no POL medal contenders

 

21.00-23.00 BASKETBALL - Men's Preliminary Round - Saitama Super Arena

 

Teams unknown yet, rather not USA at this hour, because it is bad for NBC scheduling, USA will rather play before noon Japanese Time.

But, man, this is men's basketball at the olympics. Maybe I will see Greece or Lithuania here ;-)

But problems again - will it be enough time to move from Nippon Budokan to Saitama? And there will be only one match here.

 

...

 

Nobody will read this sh*t probably, I know, but if you want to join my fav thread again, you're welcome.

 

Stay healthy!

I don't agree even a bit. 

I think Tokyo may not be organized this year due to safety and health reasons, (although  I really would like it to happen myself) - and then, Tokyo should be awarded 2032 summer games without biding competition, if Japan would like to hold it in 2032. That is obviously my personal opinion and some of you may not agree, it;s alright for me.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • 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.
    • 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  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? 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  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
