New topic.
If Tokyo happens, and if you have a chance to be there, and if you are a milionaire and can buy every ticket you want, where would you be on particular days and why? Remember, you - usually - cannot be in 2 places in the same time. And you must have enough time to move from one location to another, using your beautiful limo ;-)
New topic just for fun, because:
1. Tokyo will likely happen in 2032 - I don't see more than 50/50 chances it wil happen this year.
2. We are not milionaires, aren't we?
3. Normally, before covid, it is relatively easy to get to the olympics, but to get tickets you want and to be in THE GOLDEN CIRCLE - well... that's a different story.
My early thoughts for first days. (Subject to change).
Day - 2 Wed 21/07/2021
9.00-17.00 SOFTBALL - Women Games, AUS vs JPN, ITA vs USA, MEX vs CAN - Fukushima Azuma Baseball Stadium
Because: 1. I never watched softball live before, 2. staging opening event of the entire games in Fukushima is very important for Japanese people because of obvious reasons, 3. I'm not really interested in women's football.
21.00-??? Party in Tokyo best places.
Day - 1 Thu 22/07/2021
???-13.00 Resting after yesterday's party in my hotel bed ;-)
17.00-22.00 FOOTBALL - Men's First Round - 2 Matches - Tokyo Stadium
Teams unknown yet, but I want to see the stadium
23.30-??? Party in Tokyo best places.
Day 0 Fri 23/07/2021
???-13.00 Sleeping
20.00-23.00 OPENING CEREMONY!!!
Because I love parade of nations. I really do. That is strange, I know that, but I really do.
Day 1 Sat 24/07/2021
???-18.15 CYCLING ROAD - Men's Road Race - I would like to be either at Fuji International Speedway or at Kagosaka Pass (14 km to go, probably the deciding moment)
Because I love road cycling very much (if it's not Katowice downhill sprint at Tour de Pologne) and road race is the blue ribbon event on day 1 for me
19.40-23.30, but maybe even later on - VOLLEYBALL - Men's Preliminary Round - POL vs IRI and USA vs FRA - Ariake Arena
Because M volleyball team would probably be the only POL team in team sports in Tokyo,
But - I am afraid even my limo may be not fast enough to get to Ariake Arena from road race route on time. But if they play 5 sets, I would watch the tie-break and then USA vs FRA
Day 2 Sun 25/07/2021
10.30-12.20 SWIMMING - Tokyo Aquatics Centre -
Men's 400m Individual Medley Final
Women's 100m Butterfly Semifinals
Men's 400m Freestyle Final
Men's 400m Individual Medley Victory Ceremony
Women's 400m Individual Medley Final
Men's 400m Freestyle Victory Ceremony
Men's 100m Breaststroke Semifinals
Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Final
Women's 400m Individual Medley Victory Ceremony
Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Victory Ceremony
Because THIS IS SWIMMING!!! First finals. Cannot be missed.
???-??? Some decent Japanese streetfood
17.00-19.40 JUDO - Nippon Budokan
Women -52 kg Repechage
Women -52 kg Semifinals
Men -66 kg Repechage
Men -66 kg Semifinals
Women -52 kg Contests for Bronze Medal
Women -52 kg Final
Men -66 kg Contests for Bronze Medal
Men -66 kg Final
Women -52 kg Victory Ceremony
Men -66 kg Victory Ceremony
Because watching judo finals in Tokyo would be sth special, even if no POL medal contenders
21.00-23.00 BASKETBALL - Men's Preliminary Round - Saitama Super Arena
Teams unknown yet, rather not USA at this hour, because it is bad for NBC scheduling, USA will rather play before noon Japanese Time.
But, man, this is men's basketball at the olympics. Maybe I will see Greece or Lithuania here ;-)
But problems again - will it be enough time to move from Nippon Budokan to Saitama? And there will be only one match here.

Nobody will read this sh*t probably, I know, but if you want to join my fav thread again, you're welcome.
Stay healthy!
