4 2 Final

1. Athletics, all events, but especially M and W 200m M and W Pole Vault, W Softball, and W 3x3 Basketball. 2. Other nations 3. Gosh, I could probably name 3000 favorite Olympians, but I'll go back into the past and name 5 special ones to me: Jesse Owens, Emil Zatopek, Harrison Dillard, Lindy Remigino, and Shelley Mann, and a 6th for good mention, Billy Mills.

My few cents, from wire services: Mr. Richard Pound says: "Before the end of June, you really need to know, yes or no," "There will be no further postponement" "They go ahead, or they cancel." So, US swimming and athletics trials run 6/13 to 6/27, so we would get an adverse decision right in the middle. and Ms. Kaori Yamugchui, a member of the JOC, says "organizers are cornered" "We are starting to reach a point where we cant even cancel anymore."

This story, described as a fair and balanced look, talks about the same thing you mention, the Village may be one of the safest places in Japan. https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Tokyo-2020-Olympics/Pros-and-cons-of-holding-the-Tokyo-Olympics-during-a-pandemic

One of the best. He might have repeated in 1972, but for one bad race in the US trials.

That poll supposedly said 43% cancel, 40% postpone. So, I see two things here, 53% are in favor of the Games being held, but most just don't want them this year. But second, these polls should stop asking do you want the Games postponed, as I think most of us here believe IOC, TOCOG, and JPN Gov when they say further postponement is not an option. That said, I know other polls, when the question is its just a straight cancel or hold show 60% cancel. But this poll suits the media's McGaffrey's need when they can just scream 83% of Japanese don't want to hold the Olympics, without his bothering to break down the numbers.

Good luck for Basketball, hoping that home court works in your favor. As for baseball, it's a shame that at most 2 can qualify between USA, CUB and CAN.

And it's noted here about said Rakuten chief that Rakuten is one of the few prominent Japanese businesses not sponsoring the Games. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/tokyo-olympics-japanese-athletes-drawn-into-battle-over-tokyo-olympics-1.6029584

And don't forget @nojpoparis2024 I prefer to call them anarchists myself. And I think for them their Covid "concerns" are really just a means to an end.

1. 2. 3. But I could add quite a few more.

The suggested guidelines I saw are arrive 5 days before, depart no more than 2 days after completion of your event.

Which news' source are you seeing this?

I'm giving the time from the US perspective, in just a few minutes at 2000 Eastern US time, and if you look at the preliminary events, its now 77 days exactly until the first pitch of the - women's softball game. And we are going to have quite the 77 days, I'm afraid.

Sure, to add, this whole idea of going from 5 to 4 was the late Mr. Grandi's idea, I've read, so that it would give smaller nations (e.g., Italy) a better chance in the team event against the likes of USA, ROC and CHN. Well, a few weeks after Mr. Grandi passed away, what happens but that Italy wins the bronze in the 2019 World Championships (and that's with a 5 person team, no less). Anyway, the 4 person teams are for this Olympics only, and we will be back to 5 person teams in 2024.

Happy to give it a try. First, this is the FIG rules for OG qualification. Its quite complex and does not take into account that the Artistic all-around World Cup series was cancelled. memo (gymnastics.sport) Each of the 12 countries that qualified a team at 2018 and 19 WC is allowed to qualify 1 or 2 additional gymnasts who will only compete individually, not in the team event. Its based on results from World Cup series and Continental championships. Countries without a team (e.g., Romania) can qualify 1 or 2 individuals. The field is limited to 98 per gender. One of the ways to qualify was being in the top 2 countries at Euros that either had a full team but had only qualified 1 individual or countries without a team but had only qualified 1 individual (not 2). That's why ROC and ROM won the 2 available OG berths at Euros. Hope this helps (a little). .
