Thinking of taking vacation when the olympics start and try to watch a lot of sports. Was looking at this schedule tonight: https://tokyo2020.org/en/schedule/badminton-schedule#20210724_BDM Since there is a 8 hour time difference with Japan from The Netherlands most of the sessions will be in the afternoon/night here in The Netherlands. My plan is to skip the group stage and start watching on thursday 29 july with the quarter finals. I will try to cath some sleep in between these sessions and end with the men´s final on tuesday morning 04:00 local time. Hoping for a lot of exciting matches and maybe some upsets!
No international fans at the Olympics. While heart breaking, it makes a lot of sense from the pandemic point of view. https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/56461152
I managed to get tickets and was so looking forward to being there in person, so this is really disappointing, but at least the games are still on...for now.
