Tokyo 2020 organised 2 cultural events online during past weekend, and the Sunday show "Nippon Wasai" has a great AR showcase. Here is the link:
If feel too long, fast forward to 41:30, which the new National Stadium is featured.

Based on current IOC's trend of host selection, it will be hard for Istanbul, unless they start doing enough communication and relationship to ensure they get enough votes. In short, know how's the games being played.
Istanbul 2020 bid made many great effort, too bad the opponent too strong.
Seriously, what's wrong with those guys from #NoOlympicsAnywhere? Were they hate Olympic because they were not selected to participate, or anti-social? Whichever they commented are just so negative, and useless to improve the society. They can't suggest alternative.
Back to this forum after so many years.
What a waste to see empty seats. Actually if can allow 1000++ local fans would be good. Saw some baseball matches in Japan TV stations, are with spectators. Wonder why double standard as such, as long as SOP is followed properly.
Try Seoul station area, and buy KTX Pyeongchang Rail Pass. Once the time table is available in Dec 2017, make reservation as early as possible, to avoid miss out the Games session.
Yes, no news yet from Mediacorp, SingTel or StarHub about the coverage of Rio 2016. Mediacorp is focusing to promote subscription of Euro 2016 package in its Toggle App. Very bad news for Singapore sport fans if no live coverage on TV, as we are the 1st YOG host.
