The US is by far their biggest market after China. Look at how they bended to NBC’s will with the Tokyo 2020 schedule. Plus, the US wouldn’t attempt to host another games for a long time, and were one of the few countries capable at this point. The IOC has power, but the US has more. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,140 Posted August 3, 2019 #387 Share Posted August 3, 2019 No division 2 team championships thread? Now where can i say that we have gathered all our best athletes in one place. Ivet Lalova, Mirela Demireva, Tihomir Ivanov, Radoslava Mavrodieva, Gabriela Petrova all are going to participate, which is quite surprising for me, but i like it of course.
