The Summer Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Discussion Thread

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
July 23 2021 – August 8 2021
https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/

Come on, man! We have some events lined up for this year, but why isn't everyone talking about the Olympics for 2021? It's time to bust out the couches and get ready, 'cause we're about to bring some news (and then some!) about this prestigious sporting event.

But why the delay, tho?
Admit it, guys. As far as I know, this was supposed to be scheduled for last year—but because of the Coronavirus threat that infected the whole world, they had to reschedule the sporting events to 2021 in order to maintain the health and safety for the athletes.

Are you guys ready for this?! If you want to talk about this sporting event, discuss.

yeah its hard to feel any excitement for the olympics given the rampant racism and misogyny the olympics committee have shown over the past few months alone. they should not have hosted the olympics this year at all. ick!
It should not be happening at all, or they should have at least delayed it by another year. It's repulsive that their government decided it was still a good idea to run the event when the new COVID variants are starting to run wild and nobody seems to be taking it seriously. I feel bad for the athletes.

Yeah. I feel bad for you, dear...



Hey guys, the Olympics just kicked off recently and the Opening Ceremony is glorious! But however, I found something interesting while seeing the Parade of Nations is that they're using video game music to welcome the participants. So far, the music played during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics' Parade of Nations are:
  • Dragon Quest - Roto's Theme
  • Final Fantasy - Victory Fanfare
  • Tales series - Sorey's Theme ~ The Shepherd
  • Monster Hunter series - Proof of a Hero
  • Kingdom Hearts - Olympus Coliseum
  • Chrono Trigger - Frog's Theme
  • Ace Combat - First Flight
  • Tales series - Royal Capital Majestic Grandeur
  • Monster Hunter - Wind of Departure
  • Chrono Trigger - Robo's Theme
  • Sonic the Hedgehog - Star Light Zone
  • Pro Evolution Soccer - eFootball Walk-on Theme
  • Final Fantasy - Main Theme
  • Phantasy Star Universe - Guardians
  • Kingdom Hearts - Hero's Fanfare
  • Gradius - Act 1-1
  • NieR - Song of the Ancients
  • SaGa series - The Minstrel's Refrain: SaGa Series Medley 2016
  • Soulcalibur - The Brave New Stage of History

Later on, Naomi Osaka, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, lit the cauldron to conclude the Opening Ceremony. Alongside during the lighting of the cauldron are the children from Iwate, Fukishima and Miyagi—three Japanese prefectures that were ravished during the massive earthquake and tsunami attack in 2011, which was 10 YEARS ago. Wow, how time flies?

Video game fans, are you listening? Yes you do. Discuss. Too bad, no mention about Pokémon, Zelda, or anything related to Nintendo, though...

Olympics has never been anything I've really watched religiously, only the occasional snippets. If Simone Biles is in it, I might actually have a vested interest in the gymnastics portion.

You bet. If she could win in Gymnastics, she might use her voice to defend and support human rights.



Well, my dear friends. History has made. The Philippines has finally bragged the VERY FIRST gold medal in the Olympics—and this one goes to no other than Hidilyn Diaz, who previously won silver in the Rio Olympics back in 2016. She took down Liao Quiyun of China, which lead to 2nd place finish, and Zulfiya Chinshanlo, who ended 3rd.

Diaz, who is 30 years old, tallied 97kg in snatch but eventually she got a new Olympic record lift of 127kg in the clean & jerk. Imagine if Amitie from Puyo Puyo could get as much weight as hers, even though if she's still younger than her!

And because during the Opening Ceremony, it was said that the Philippine Olympic Team, first joined the Olympics in 1924, had won a bunch of bronze and silver medals but no gold. But for now, this thing has aged very poorly. History books, make up your mind!

What do you think about this? Discuss.
