The 75th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima would have taken place on August 6 and 9, the final day of the 2020 Olympics, if it had taken place this year. Here is a story I wrote about an American Olympian who has an extraordinary connection to Japan, whose grandparents survived the Hiroshima bombings, and whose father rescued them and brought them all to America. https://theolympians.co/2020/08/05/the-palchikoffs-how-the-grandparents-of-an-american-olympian-survived-the-russian-revolution-and-the-atomic-bombing-of-hiroshima/ -

The prospects for an opening ceremony for Tokyo2020 on 7/23/21 are unclear. Do you view the stadium as half full or half empty? I see it as half full, and believe the Tokyo Olympics will take place. Here is why I believe - in three film clips. https://theolympians.co/2020/07/23/one-year-to-go-redux-why-i-believe-tokyo2020-will-happen-in-three-scenes/

Here are the first two parts of a series of articles I've written on the 1980 Moscow Olympics. https://theolympians.co/2020/07/19/the-1980-moscow-olympics-part-1-the-american-boycott/ https://theolympians.co/2020/07/21/the-1980-moscow-olympics-part-2-the-comparison-to-1936-berlin/ -
As I have written in this article, the World Masters Games, a massive sporting event in Japan in May, 2021 will be the canary in the coal mine for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021. https://theolympians.co/2020/06/05/the-world-masters-games-kansai-2021-the-canary-in-the-tokyo2020-coal-mine/

August 9 is the 74th anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing. The 75th anniversary next year will fall on the final day of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. As I wrote two years ago, this is not a coincidence. https://theolympians.co/2017/08/14/hiroshima-and-nagasaki-in-2020-stay-tuned-for-tokyo-2020s-closing-ceremony-on-the-75th-anniversary-of-the-nagasaki-bombing/ -

I hope this isn't inappropriate. I wanted to you know that I just published my book - "1964: The Greatest Year in the History of Japan - How the 1964 Olympics Symbolized Japan's Miraculous Rise from the Ashes." If you want to understand the context for the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics, you can learn about Japan's post-war history and why the 1964 Tokyo Games meant/means so much to the Japanese. https://theolympians.co/advanced-referrals-for-the-book-1964-the-greatest-year-in-the-history-of-japan/ Roy -

Geesink was an incredible athlete, who had the respect of the Japanese. The Japanese women's volleyball team were equally dominant, and a monumental symbol of pride to the Japanese. -
