Trump threatens removal of World Cup games from Boston, Olympics from LA"
Only cowardice prevents UEFA and the IOC from taking these events away from America entirely.
You'd think these institutions would have learned from Berlin 1936.

@ark_brut yeah, I wondered about that, too. I don't know because it's been decades since I was last there 😯

Funnily enough, the original Tokyo Olympics was accused of plagiarism "The new emblem, created by Asao Tokolo, was introduced at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Made by checkboards, it expresses a refined elegance and sophistication that exemplifies Japan. Previously, the original emblem, made by Kenjirō Sano, was scrapped after his design was found to have plagiarized the logo of Théâtre de Liège, a Belgian theatre company." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Summer_Olympics

It is ridiculous
that #FiFa still thinks of playing the #world #championship in the #USA
(and not even the #Olympics) in a state controlled by a totalitarian fascist government.
It is necessary to completely bypass the USA and moove all to #Mexico and #Canada.

Some of you may be wondering why the 1964 Summer Olympics took place in autumn🤔
Well, unlike 2020's Tōkyō Olympics, organizers in the 1960s were concerned about the summer's heat and humidity, and so moved it to October (after typhoon season).

#Olympics #体育の日 #Kyoto #京都

The first 'Health and Sports Day' (体育の日) was held on October 10th 1966, the 2nd anniversary of the opening of the 1964 Summer Olympics.
Now celebrated on the 2nd Monday of October, the holiday is intended to promote sports as well as physical and mental health.

A firework inspired sweet with colourful balls of bean paste suspended in jelly.

Miho-san created this tea bowl. 5 colourful lines represent the Olympic rings, with chidori (a popular motif in Kyoto) flying on the interior of the bowl.

5 sweets in different styles, mirroring the 5 Olympic rings.

Happy 'Health and Sports Day' (体育の日 'Taiiku-no-hi')!🥳
As you might expect, we'll be celebrating with lashings of tea and sweets, and as the holiday commemorates the 1964 Tōkyō Olympics there's a subtle Olympic theme to today's offerings🏅

A Japanese flag inspired sweet (the flag sits on a red bean paste with a thin layer of jelly covering the round confection).

One of my favourite tea bowls. Purchased for the Tokyo Olympics it depicts mice holding the Olympic rings. The pandemic delayed the Olympics, so in the end it didn't take place in the Year of the Rat.

Colourful macarons hinting at the Olympic rings.

A sumptuous lunch box filled with colourful seafood and vegetables.

Munich will make a big initial loss bidding and getting the Olympics. But are there longer term benefits?
REASONS why voting for the Munich Olympic bid is good for 'everyone'.

Because..
- We'll get infrastructure that we're getting anyway.
- it's good for Munich's prestige. Which is already sky high with top companies, shows, conferences, cultural events and tourism.
- Huge profits for some local(?) businesses for a few weeks.
- It'll bring in some Federal money. Which must be taken away from other, more needy causes.

It seems the Olympics in Munich only benefits the selfish and greedy.
