NYCD 2012 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thats 12.30am here in Singapore, we're an hour behind Tokyo. I would love to watch some of it on webcast as I don't expect the local news channel to give it as much coverage as it did for Singapore 2005.

Mainad Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Gosh,I can't believe that it is just a week away before the 2016 host is chosen! It seems only 5 minutes since I sat glued to the set for the 2012 announcement from Singapore! Where does the time go?? I'm keeping my fingers crossed we will get at least the same coverage as we did back then.No matter how predictable you may think the outcome,there's nothing quite like that breath-holding moment when Jacques Rogge fumbles with his big envelope just to keep us all sweating that little bit longer and then makes his long,drawn out momentous announcement in those grave Belgian tones,"I have the honour to announce that the host for the Thirty-First Olympiad in 2016 will be......!!!!" You just can't beat it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annoucement is scheduled between 6:30 & 7:00. Not sure, they will have a delay, as the voting session start at 4:00 with the Evaluation Commission presentation and is scheduled to finish at 5:40. So even if they have 30 minutes delays, still time to change of room and get ready for 6:30 ! As for an opening ceremony it is crucial to be on time as broadcasters allaround the world are waiting for it !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only my guess based on general delays usually undergone in this kind of meetings. If I remember well, the 2012 announcement went way later than time scheduled.

If I remember well, the 2012 announcement went way later than time scheduled. In 2005, the annoucement was schedule to start at 13h30 (Paris time : minus 6h from Singapore if i'm right)... it just start with a few seconds late.. and after hymn, speeches, ... Rogge made the annoucement at 13h49.... All the process (hymn, speeches, annoucements, photos & signatures) are due to last 30 minutes... from 18h30 to 19h00 (Copenhagen time)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Congrats to London! Wise choice for 2012. Not all the Brits are like you, thank god, and I love many things in UK... But I'm sure you'll be, at least, very disappointed if Rio wins... PS: For Brazilians, call us "kids", "boy" is not offensive... Chicken also doesn't work for us, maybe for you...

Athensfan Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 This is an interesting article that mentions, among other things, what happens in the event of a tie in the final round. Apparently Rogge is not compelled to break the tie himself. He can also request that the executive board break the tie. (Definitely the safer choice, in my opinion.) http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/20...152673546_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 This article seems to me to present a very fair summary of the current state of the race. I recommend that supporters of all bids take a look at it. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?sectio...&id=4504269 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
