Tokyo 2020 - Summer Olympics

Shit choice. They're 11 hours ahead so everything will be on in the middle of the night or early morning.

One thing, it will be very very hot.

On the time difference thing, am not a massive fan of the Olympics apart from London last year, and Sydney. Remember the timing worked quite well, getting home from the pub and enjoying some sports I usually could not give two figs about.

Has anyone ever seen a disabled Japanese person? Do they have them over there?

Just thinking about the Paralympics, obviously.

I imagine there will be quite a few, in the years to come, in the region around Fukushima, if the experience of Chernobyl is anything to go by.

At a push I will watch women's judo at 3pm but at 4am they can do one.

I reckon they will put on a good show and it might help them recover from their recent natural disasters and economic problems. Madrid probably would have done well and it might have given a few jobs for their young people so that is a shame for them.

I'm not sure about Istanbul. It's a nice place but I can't really imagine an Olympics there. I only saw the tourist bits though- maybe they have out-of-town facilities.

How many cities worldwide are actually capable of hosting a modern Olympics. 30 maybe?

Who said anything about legacy? Have the Japanese mentioned this?

Not sure. It's just that we seem to have lost ours so I was wondering if the Japanese had nicked it and were going to run with it
