I think as detailed schedules are revealed it will be more in depth. Like the Badminton matches featuring GG competitors are specially named and included. So it will include the same for things like Tennis and Table Tennis. I wonder if it will specifically name individual GB competitors in things like Rowing and Swimming when the start lists are published.

The Press have access so some countries might report the figures. The BBC have a round up for the Uk and some international stars. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/57888185 And here are some other roundups. https://www.foxsports.com.au/tokyo-olympics-2021/olympic-games-tokyo-2021-live-latest-updates-covid-when-does-it-start-schedule-times-australia-aest-simone-biles-zach-lavine/news-story/7b0e4e3242a4b5650da3cf63251c4411?recommendedCount=0 https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/olympics-japan-projected-improve-medals- 082636257.html https://www.eurosport.com/olympics/tokyo-2020/2020/tokyo-2020-team-gb-predicted-to-win-14-gold-medals-including-max-whitlock-adam-peaty-jade-jones_sto8426397/story.shtml https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/olympics/125806764/tokyo-olympics-eight-golds-predicted-for-new-zealand-matching-their-record-haul-37-years-on

Just subscribed to Discovery +. Rather weirdly the archery ranking rounds are included in the list of available events - but only in 15 minute slots at 06.00 and 10.00 BST. Looks like Gymnastics is going to be fully filmed as separate feeds for Horizontal Bars, Floor, Parallel Bars, Vault, Rings, and Pommel Horse along with a general feed are available. This is repeated from Women’s qualification with Vault, Floor, Beam and Uneven Bars. That was always an issue with previous games which saw some qualification routines shown from terrible angles. This carries on into the team finals and looks like it might for the All arounds as loads of feeds are available but they not named. Sepreate feeds are also available for field events in athletics.

Did they not fly in together - I believe a charted plane from Prague was used rather than a commercial flight.

How can they not be related when they all linked to Beach volleyball?

Surely it’s weather conditions. Speed skating can’t really be held safely if it’s snowing or raining as they competing. So an outdoor venue is Leon to the weather playing havoc with the schedule. An outdoor swimming pool in LA is less risky as Swimming can happen in light rain and LA is rather dry in the Summer.

Not so sure about Swiatek - she’s has not mpressed outside of clay tournaments.

Surely the funniest is British winning the 4 x 200 women’s relay. When Britain has pulled out of the event.

Japan’s government is pretty business friendly. Are Toyota really supporters of the opposition. I would be surprised at that.

True. Nobody says that about the 1980 and 1984 games.

The opposition parties in Japan would nothing more than to portray the Japanese government as more interested in the IOC than health risks of the public .

I suspect quite a lot of international dignitaries will pull out. I can see Jill Biden suddenly cancelling her trip for example.

I don’t think the Japanese people would take to a vaccinated/non vaccinated difference in treatment. So it’s non starter for the IOC.

Not close enough to judged to be a close contact. Covid spread within sport teams are a bit unpredictable. Sometimes an entire team catches it other times hardly anyone else seems to catch it when a member tests positive. Let’s hope her vaccine works as well ( She is believed to have been vaccinated).

Biles is 24 so it’s not her. It might not even be the artistic team - it could be one of the Rhythmic team.

Sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case in the UK. There are reports of fully vaccinated people getting ill enough to need mild hospital treatment,

And most current cases are ones that have been caught outside of Tokyo. The gymnast is over 70km away in another city while the others have likely caught it before departing or on the journey. Jaoan should have pushed it back to 2022 and then got the IOC to move all future games by two years,

Still if it’s one of the two teenagers in the Artistic team that is America’s chance of team gold probably gone and massive opportunity for others.

I think we still getting them because we are outside of Japan.

Sadly as the figures in the UK and Israel are showing it doesn’t seem that low - there is simply not enough unvaccinated people to be the only ones spreading it with our current cases numbers.

Not that common. And maybe if the person has three or more negative tests. But not just one.

Toyota ads will still air outside of Japan during the games just not domestically.

But he has already tested positive. They can’t have rules saying as soon as you test negative again you clear while ordinary people in Tokyo don’t get that benefit. The public there just won’t take it.

Because you can still catch it will two doses.

I can’t see them letting them move their match. But they can except fully vaccinated people who test positive from quarantine as they could easily pass it on. And with how unpopular the games are in Japan the government would never allow it.
