They built multiple new venues for the Asian Games. Now they want to build a new capital, and then build all new venues for the 2032 Olympics.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted January 4, 2020 #215 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Probably not what the IOC wanted to hear. I’d be surprised to see zero protests in the Tokyo this year. Protesting in Japan is dangerous though. Japan’s not a free as people think it is. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted January 10, 2020 #217 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Best argument I’ve seen against the IOC athlete guidelines (published by Coventry (who many athletes already saw as a traitor before this)): “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted January 10, 2020 #218 Share Posted January 10, 2020 IOC also confirmed the Sapporo, Salt Lake, and Barcelona are interested in the 2030 Winter Olympics. Looks like it’s time for the Mormons to break out the checkbook again... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

So most likely it's gonna be Sapporo 2030 and SLC 2034 unless we have a better contender (Almaty's revival for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
