The second part doesn't seem so terrible. Not special, but not terrible. That godawful first part though, holy shit. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

That godawful first part though, holy shit. by the way, going back to the question, in the past few days I gave a look at the 1964 Olympic sites for Rowing and Canoeing (which were different)... and they are gazillion times more attractive than this sh*t of 2020, especially Lake Sagami (the canoeing site in 1964), which looks a lovely place... imho, they should have used that venue for Rowing, Sprint Canoeing, Open Water Swimming and Triathlon also in 2020... https://www.google.it/search?q=Lake+Sagami+pictures&tbm=isch&source=hp&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-rLuXibflAhWhy6YKHdeAChIQ7Al6BAgHECQ&biw=1920&bih=1199 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
