Huge crowds packed together like sardines along the road for the cycling, none in stadiums
That Japanese Government has urged the public to refrain from gathering for marathon and race walk events in Sapporo, as well a cycling and triathlon events in Tokyo. Authorities will move on people if deemed necessary.
Tokyo in July/August is like Brisbane in February on steroids, in terms of heat and humidity.
Feel for the athletes.
I know it’s the ‘summer’ games, but feel Tokyo would’ve been better off hosting these games in late September/early October when the weather is usually best in Japan - typhoons aside!
It’s crazy. I used to play footy there over this period on days with 80%+ humidity. It’s hard to walk along the street, let alone compete in professional sport.
Australia playing Indonesia in Badminton on 7 app. Won the first set. Indonesians ranked #4 in the world
Win for Meow Meow!
The days are bad, yep, but I reckon the nights (Jun-Sep) were worse when I was there!
Temperature a bit lower but humidity goes even higher. Get out of the shower, dry yourself and you’re sweating in 30 seconds.
Competition is going to be super tough, particularly for those from cooler climates.
ANNOUNCE MEDALS!
ANNOUNCE REPICHARGE!
Is there a way to watch the road race without cutting away to other events? Or because it is on the main channel, the app covers the same vision complete with cutaways?
Can’t work out the 7plus app
Thats the only way.
But there is no alternate stream on the app? It is not easy to navigate
There is on my screen.
Its pretty useless the app.
Given they had an extra year to sort it out.
I’ve only had about a minute of the race so far when neither the TV nor the web stream was covering it.
EDIT: and as soon as I write that, they overlap their ad breaks for about thirty seconds.
Remember the Optus app fail ( world soccer?)
Nah this is worse.
Like it tells you hockey x vs y but not mens or womens.
If any event needs a megawall its the olympics.
This guy in front must SUCK if they’re giving him a 20 minute head start!
Hockey is full of innuendos.
Spain down one heading into the last.
I’m sure Nike would also want her present during press conferences tho
It’s great to see some people able to watch the road race, because watching the Japan v Australia hockey game this morning was quite sad. Getting used to seeing sport played behind closed doors in an empty stadium, but the Olympics is supposed to be a celebration for the host city and it’s a crying shame the people of Tokyo can’t enjoy it due to COVID.
