WorldSkills Kazan 2019 Opening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uj1rUtb2vU

Idk about you but looking at Ukraine right now I can see that if they can find the right stepping stone like YOG or European Games they can be a stronger candidate than some 2032 candidates like India and Indonesia

I'll repost Minsk 2019 ceremonies here.. Opening Closing

Hmm.. Kickboxing perhaps?

Special Olympics IX MENA Games Abu Dhabi 2018 Opening

So Tokyo 2020 will mark the return of Mario and Sonic Olympic game after missing Pyeongchang.. Other than that we'll witness the first full fledged Olympic video game since London!

If you think about it the torch does look better with the flame lit imo..

Color wise, they're going full London lol!

The idea of 5 separate flames sounds interesting but the torch itself looks weird and kinda forced..

EYOF 2019 Sarajevo and East Sarajevo Opening

Keep an eye on them during Copa America Brazil 2019.. I hope they'll prepare themselves seriously for that tournament so that we can see their capabilities against stronger Conmebol nations..

Well done Osaka..

With even yourself confirmed that "most cites/towns won’t need or use Winter Games facilities once the Winter Games have left" makes me realized that Winter Olympics is basically on life support and perhaps now's the right time for IOC to like it or not cut that support in favor of a much more flexible YOG a like beach/urban games which adapts to the host city rather than IOC's will. This is what I mean by adapting to the new gen or their pockets to be more specific.

That's the point.. Today's people can't held such luxury when they complain about well pretty much anything they know.. They're the type of people who would prefer charity events then the Olympics.. That's why the Olympics should adapt or this new gen will ignore it and it'll return to history all over again..
