  1. I'm being old school here, it's easy to conclude that athletics and artistic gymnastics are on Peacock as opposed to regular networks is the old rule that once you broadcast something, its free game to other networks. e.g., you'd probably see the 100m replayed at least 100 times (slight exageration) before the prime time NBC broadcast if its shown live on any regular network. So, again, NBC is embargoing prime events from the morning until they can be the first to show it on the primetime broadcast.
  2. Yes, a US Court would likely quickly dismiss such a case for lack of jurisdiction. Also, to get an injunction you have to show a strong liklihood that you would prevail on the merits. I don't know the Japanese legal system either, but I would think a Japanese court would do something similar.
  3. Stay tuned. 4 citizens filed this lawsuit. Japan citizens seek injunction to cancel Olympics over virus concern (kyodonews.net)
  4. Wow, Being reported just now that Michael Andrew (100 BR, 200IM 50 FS)is not vaccinated and will not be at the Olympics. Check that though, he's not withdrawing, he just won't get vaccinated/be vaccinated at the Games. The original headlines made it sound as though he was withdrawing.

  6. 1. Who were the most unexpected Qualifiers(Team/Individual) from your nation? Because more favored athletes flubbed, but Anna Cockrell W 400 H and Katie Grimes 800 FS. Isaiah Jewett 800m (see below) 2.Which athletes/teams ' not qualifying from your nation hurt you the most? Donovan Brazier, 800 m, without question the most shocking. Then Regan Smith in 200 back, Simone Manuel in 100 Free. Not qualifying at all: Mens's 3x3 Also, not qualifying 5 boats in mens rowing, while US women were 7 for 7. Also Womens' Field Hockey, given the promise they showed in 2016.
  7. In the Eastern US, I'll be living the nocturnal life, with things starting at about 7-8 PM and going to 9:00AM the next morning, and then try sleeping from about 930AM to 600PM I already have the 2 weeks off from work, To try and adjust quickly, I'll get up at about 5-6AM on July 23, then trying to take a long nap in the afternoon, following the Opening Ceremony.
  8. Hackers zero in on Tokyo Olympics | TheHill The Hilll is a publication that covers US politics, especially Congress.

  10. Yes, LOL, apparently so. This must be first Olympics ever with zero USA race walkers. I have not read anything about it, but I would think heat in Eugene had something to do with no one coming close to the standard. Maybe in 2024, learning their lesson from here, they will have 20K trials in a cooler time of year.

  12. Yes, incredibly stupid. She's young though, but she'll learn a painful lesson.
  13. It's only on Jamaican media so far, not yet being reported in the USA. However, its said on Twitter by @OlympicStatman that the Jamaican breaking the story has impeccable credentials.
  14. Samoa’s Participation in the Tokyo Olympics Uncertain – Talamua Online A Samoan news source. It doesn't look good.
  15. Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by 100%. I agree, he can medal.
  16. USA 1500 team is not set. Cole Hocker doesn't have the standard. He ran a 3:35.28 last night. They said on the broadcast that he could still go, depending on the World Ranking list. If he doesn't make it, I would guess the 4th place finisher, Craig Engels, would go.
  17. Well we still have the final basketball qualifier through July 4
  18. And runs down Noah Lyles doing it. He’s 17 yrs old. This was as incredible a night as I can ever remember at US trials. Four number 2 performers ever, an additional WL in W PV.
  19. Trials 3rd round Deanna Price Hammer 79.98 NR longest (no. 8 ever) non-Włodarczyk throw.
