Where are the Olympic Games? Tokyo - the capital of the future Olympics
Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not on the 9th, but on another date in September 2019.
As for whether 2006 QV89 will collide with Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the likelihood of a collision is extremely low.
Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).
The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid crossing its orbit with our planet as 1 in 7300 (0,00014 % ). ESA placed 2006 QV89 in 4th place among celestial bodies posing a potential danger to Earth. According to the agency, the exact time of “flight” of the body on September 9, 2019 is 10:03 Moscow time.
In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on Sunday.
Easter 2020 is preceded by Lent, which begins 48 days before the Holy Day. And after 50 days they celebrate Trinity.
Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd Easter cakes.
Easter treats are blessed in the church on Saturday, the eve of Easter 2020, or after the service on the day of the Holiday itself.
We should greet each other on Easter with the words “Christ is Risen,” and respond with “Truly He is Risen.”
This will be the fourth game for the Russian team in this qualifying tournament. Let us remind you that in the previous three meetings, Russia “at the start” lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest in the entire existence of the Russian football team.
As for the upcoming meeting, according to bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and the islanders cannot expect anything good from the upcoming match. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore unpleasant surprises may await us.
The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 In Nizhniy Novgorod at the stadium of the same name, built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.
Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Venue of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time is 21:45 Moscow time.
The 2020 Summer Olympics is the most important sporting event of 2020. From July 24 to August 9, athletes from more than 200 countries will compete for awards in football, weightlifting and athletics, volleyball, karate, rhythmic gymnastics, boxing - countless sports in which Olympic participants will compete! Russians will also be among the applicants for the trophies. Along with the Chinese, Americans and British, athletes from Russia are claiming victory in the unofficial medal standings!
A large-scale sports event will be held in the summer of 2020. Athletes from approximately 205 countries will compete for medals from July 24 to August 9.
Japan will be the host country of the Olympics. The competition will take place in the capital of the Land of the Rising Sun, Tokyo. Also, part of the competition will be organized in the prefectures of the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido.
The site for the 2020 Summer Olympics was selected on September 7, 2013. Tokyo's rivals were Madrid, Istanbul, Rome, Baku, Doha and other respected cities. But only Madrid, Istanbul and Tokyo qualified for the final vote. In the end, the Japanese capital won by an almost double margin.
This is not Tokyo's first experience of hosting the Olympics. For the first time, the main Japanese city became the center of the Summer Games in 1964.
Sports at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Summer Olympics participants will compete for sets of awards in several dozen sports.
Compared to the last edition of the Olympics, the competitive program of the Tokyo Games has expanded to include surfing, karate, baseball, skateboarding and rock climbing. In addition, a number of sports such as fencing, table tennis and basketball have new disciplines.
Symbols of the 2020 Summer Olympics
The 2020 Summer Olympics emblem is a sphere on a white background, made of dark blue quadrangles of different sizes and shapes. Below the sphere is the inscription “TOKYO 2020”, and below it are the traditional Olympic rings.
According to the creators of the emblem, quadrangular figures of different shapes and sizes symbolize the participating countries, differing from each other in culture, language, mentality, but united into a single whole.
An anime superhero named Miraitova was chosen as the mascot.
This choice should not be surprising. After all, the mascot was chosen by elementary school students.
Miraitowe is paired with another superhero, Someiti. But unlike Miraitova, he is the mascot of the 2020 Paralympics.
Volunteers for the 2020 Summer Olympics
Well, what would a large-scale sports event be without volunteers!? It is expected that about 90,000 volunteers will be involved in servicing the Games! The selection of volunteer assistants will take place in several stages. The first of them will start in mid-September 2018.
To become a volunteer, you must meet the following criteria:
- be at least 18 years of age;
- have a desire to gain volunteer skills;
- speak a minimum set of phrases in popular foreign languages;
- have a free schedule during the Games.
More detailed information can be found on the official website of the 2020 Olympics - www.tokyo2020.org.
Overall medal standings for the 2020 Summer Olympics
China and the USA are vying for victory in the overall medal standings. To a lesser extent, Russia and Great Britain can count on first place.
Four years ago, the Americans became the best in Rio de Janeiro. Representatives of the United States won 121 medals, 46 of which were of the highest value.
The second place went to the natives of Great Britain. China rounded out the top three. Russia showed the 4th result. The gap between our country and China was 7 gold medals.
Most likely, Japanese athletes will show excellent results. They have the strength not only to enter the TOP 5, but also to compete for a place in the top three.
Russia at the 2020 Olympics
The eyes of domestic fans, of course, will be turned to the Russians. It will be difficult for our athletes. Competition in world sports is outrageous. The times when domestic athletes churned out one medal after another are irrevocably gone. In addition, the doping scandal, which has been dragging on for many years, will have a detrimental effect. Many of our athletes were disqualified. Huge damage was done to the image of Russian sports. But Russia will try to recover from the consequences of the machinations of sports officials by the start of the Summer Olympics!
The positions of domestic sports are still strong in athletics, swimming, volleyball, and in synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics we still have no equal. If our athletes give their all, Russia may well claim a high place in the overall medal standings!
TOKYO 2020:
OLYMPICS OF THE FUTURE
When the 18th Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games opened in Tokyo in 1964, the whole world was already talking about Japan. After all, a few days before the official opening of the Olympics, the Japanese launched the first Shinkansen line, whose trains could carry capital passengers to the city of Osaka at an incredible speed of 210 km/h. Therefore, it is not surprising that already three years before the 2020 Olympics, Japanese organizers promise that the games in Tokyo will be the most innovative in history.
Approved design of the new National Stadium by architect Kengo Kuma, 2014
Japan is one of only three East Asian countries to have ever hosted an Olympic competition. But judging by the number of times the games were held on the Japanese islands, we can say that it overtook South Korea and China a long time ago. Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagano - The Olympic Games in Japan are famous for their high level of preparation and hospitality. “Tokyo will welcome you in a special way. In Japanese, we call it “omotenashi” - the spirit of selfless hospitality that is passed down from generation to generation and is deeply connected to our culture,” promised Christel Takigawa, a Japanese television presenter, at the presentation of Tokyo as a candidate city for the IOC session in Buenos. Aires in September 2013.
Many objects of the future Olympics are divided into two zones by location. In addition to the National Stadium, the Heritage Zone will host several sports grounds where competitions in athletics, football, handball, karate, boxing, cycling and horse riding will be held. Almost all the objects in this zone were left to Tokyo as a legacy from the 1964 Olympics.
However, the construction of the new National Olympic Stadium is not going entirely smoothly. The fact is that the world famous Briton Zaha Hadid won the first competition among architects. The construction of a stadium according to her design would cost the Japanese three billion dollars, which is, for example, more than three times the cost of the Olympic stadium in London. In addition to the high cost, there were also complaints about the project's design, and in the end, a group of eminent Japanese architects filed a petition to close the construction. Although the project helped Tokyo win the battle to host the Olympics in 2013, architect Arata Isozaki called it boring and "like a turtle waiting for Japan to be flooded before it can swim away."
Japanese architect Arata Isozaki called Zaha Hadid's Olympic Stadium design boring and "like a turtle waiting for Japan to be flooded before it can swim away."
Taking all the circumstances into account, in 2014 it was decided to hold a repeat competition, in which the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma won with a project worth one and a half billion dollars, and construction, albeit with a slight delay, began. The new National Stadium will be built in the center of Tokyo next to Meiji Park, and its design will be designed to maximize unity with nature - thousands of plants will be planted on the multi-layered wooden eaves of the building.
Many structures in another zone, the “Tokyo Bay Zone,” have yet to be built by 2020. There will be competitions in water sports, volleyball, shooting and many others. The Olympic Village will be located there, on Harumi Island. The project, consisting of residential buildings, a swimming pool and jogging tracks, is a simulation of the society of the future, which, according to the organizers, will be distinguished by its respect for the environment. After the completion of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the village will be transformed into a modern residential complex.
The 2020 Olympics promises to be not only environmentally friendly, but also the most innovative. In the Olympic Village, as well as at airports and other points in the city, a wide variety of robots are deployed to serve Tokyo residents and visitors, including the elderly and people with disabilities. They will help carry things, translate speech and texts into different languages, show the way and lead excursions.
Future location of 2020 Olympics venues: heritage area and Tokyo Bay area
@P.I.C.S
One of the goals of the Olympic organizers is to facilitate communication between foreign guests from other countries, as 40 million tourists are expected in Japan in 2020. The government scientific organization NICT has developed an interpreting application called VoiceTra. You just need to say a phrase - the device will immediately provide a translation in 31 languages, including Russian. VoiceTra can already be installed on your smartphone for free. And Panasonic also came up with the TranslLet’s system for displaying signs and menus in different languages through multi-colored 2D codes and Light ID technology for reading information through light sources using a smartphone camera.
The Japanese place great emphasis on a high-quality navigation system. For example, the innovative QZSS satellite system will allow receiving GPS signal data on the location of an object with an accuracy of one to three centimeters. One of the satellites has already been launched, and by 2018 there will be four of them, and they will begin their work. By 2020, a high-speed Internet system will also start.
Self-driving taxis will also work according to QZSS data. The companies DeNA and ZMP are already conducting tests to release them on the roads of Tokyo by 2020. A robot taxi can be called using a regular smartphone. The car will not only arrive on time to the minute, but, as has long been customary in Japan, it will open the door itself and deliver you to your destination along the shortest route. The sensors will allow the car to avoid accidents.
So, the next Olympics will be held in 2020 in Japan. Dates of the Games: from July 24 to August 9. This will be the 32nd Olympic Games. Applications for the event were submitted several years ago. As a result, the three most likely candidate cities were identified: Japanese Tokyo, Turkish Istanbul and Spanish Madrid. Tokyo eventually became the host of the 2020 Games. This city has already hosted the Olympic Games once, back in 1964.
What is known about the future Olympics in Tokyo
Details of the Tokyo Olympics have not yet been disclosed. We only know that the International Olympic Committee has decided to include new sports in the program of the upcoming summer games: baseball, wrestling and squash. Later in Lausanne it was decided to add several more types to the list of games. As a result, the program of the Tokyo Olympics will be replenished with fifteen new disciplines.
Two new distances have been added in swimming: 800 and 1500 meters. The 4x100 mixed relay will appear. The same team competition is included in the athletics program. In basketball, a three-on-three competition format will appear. In fencing, the team tournament will delight fans. Cycling will be replenished with “Madison”. Team competitions will appear in archery, triathlon, table tennis and judo.
Certain disciplines will become “female-specific”. We are talking about shooting, sailing, and some weight categories in boxing, where previously only men competed. One men's weightlifting weight has been eliminated for "gender equality."
Previously, the International Olympic Committee included softball, baseball, surfing, rock climbing, karate, and skateboarding in the program of the Tokyo Olympics.
The IOC representative believes that the new disciplines will make the upcoming Olympics more exciting. The Games in Tokyo will become more “younger”, more “urban”. They will attract the attention of female participants.
Mascots of the 2020 Olympics
Figures made in the style of traditional Japanese anime have been chosen as the mascots of the upcoming Games. The figurines have a pink and blue checkered pattern. This decision was made based on the results of a vote that was held among students of several thousand schools in Japan. This method of determining the Olympic mascot was used for the first time in the history of the Olympic movement.
During the competition, at least two thousand options for mascots were considered. As a result, only three images were selected from this variety. They were the ones who were sent to trial by junior school students in Japanese schools. Talismans based on the country's national beliefs also made it to the finals of the competition, but the children preferred talismans based on modern animation.
Future talismans will be decorated with a pattern in the national Ichimatsu style. This checkered design was introduced into art during the Edo period (1603 - 1868). Images of the mascot were also used in the round emblem of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Preparation for the Olympics
Japan is seriously preparing for the sporting event. Here they decided to take into account all the previous mistakes that were made during sports competitions. For example, signs in English will appear on the streets. Otherwise, Europeans will have problems finding their way around Tokyo. It is very difficult to find the Latin alphabet in a Japanese city; almost all inscriptions are made in hieroglyphs. The organizers of the Olympics will pay special attention to airports and taxi rental places.
The countdown to the sports festival has already begun. The organizers of the Games presented the anthem of the future tournament to the public. This is an updated version of the anthem performed at the 1964 Tokyo Games. Japan is also preparing for increased load on all major modes of transport. An action took place in the country, during which employees of several hundred companies worked not in offices, but at home.
However, reports are increasingly appearing online that Japan is falling behind the plan to prepare infrastructure for the Games. This applies in particular to objects related to sailing. The International Sailing Federation expressed hope that Tokyo will be able to avoid the mistakes made by the organizers of the Olympics in Brazil, who had problems with the arrangement of the water area.
The organizers of the Olympics promise spectators a unique experience of participating in spectacular events. In particular, fans should see driverless cars, as well as volunteer robots.
